IN THIS ISSUE:
THANK YOU FOR AN OUTSTANDING YEAR ! Another year has come and gone at Meadowridge School. As we say goodbye to our students and teachers for the summer, we would like to thank every member of our community for another fantastic year. This year’s graduating class is our first group of students to complete the IB Diploma Programme. Congratulations to the Grad Class of 2014 on all their hard work! Development of the North Forest has continued throughout the year as well. We would like to extend a special thank you to all who have played a role, and all who will play a role in the upcoming year, in the restoration of our new campus space. We would also like to recognize our students’ and families’ involvement in our Free the Children fundraiser. Between the passion of our students and the generosity of our community, Meadowridge was able to raise over $10,000 to build a school in Haiti. After an incredible school year, we hope all of our students, teachers, and families have a safe and restful summer. See you in September!
