Mission In its pursuit of excellence, The Meadows School inspires ambitious students to love and respect higher learning, to passionately serve their communities, and to lead meaningful lives as citizens of a global society.
Dear Meadows Family, We are honored to present to you the 2018-19 Honor Roll of Donors. In this annual publication, we report each year on the financial strength of The Meadows School, review the year’s milestones, and just as importantly, thank the Meadows community for its ongoing and generous support. Your support means everything to us. This year, as in the past, your support has been overwhelming because of its impact on our school and our students. Every dollar donated has positively impacted the lives of the students, faculty, and staff members by providing necessary funds for the classroom and beyond. Moreover, we want to take the opportunity to offer a heartfelt thanks to everyone who volunteers time and energy to make sure our campus runs smoothly. Room parents, booster club volunteers, and TMSPA volunteers are just the tip of the iceberg; we could not provide a Meadows quality education without your help. Thank you. As you peruse these pages, please bear in mind that your tuition dollars are earmarked for the operations of the school through payroll, campus maintenance, and supplies for faculty and students. Your Annual Fund contributions make all the extras possible. By way of example, in 2018-19 your generosity made it possible to send all of our faculty to the National Association of Independent Schools Conference in Long Beach, California.
In the past two years we have also been able to re-surface the Lower School playground ahead of schedule, and to perform minor renovations on the Middle/Upper School library mid-year. Finally, your support allows us the opportunity to boldly pursue the Meadows’ most recent Strategic Plan. For example, last year, we were able to launch the school’s first marketing plan, which has yielded a substantial increase in applicants; we are in the process of researching the viability of a capital campaign launch; and we have continued to increase the budgets both for academic and ancillary programs, and for faculty professional development. As The Meadows School looks forward to completing its 35th year, we thank you once again for your support. Without you and your generosity, we would not be the school we are today. Sincerely,
Jeremy Gregersen Head of School
Matthew Becker Board Chair

Thank You, Epsteins The entire Meadows community would like to send our most sincere appreciation to Lawrence and Michelle Epstein for their outstanding service on the Board of Trustees. Lawrence joined the Board in 1998, and Michelle joined in 2002, giving the school over 20 years of dedicated service. During their tenure on the Board, they provided leadership and guidance to each Head of School, worked with the entire school community on leadership transitions, and grew and maintained the prominence of The Meadows as the best school in the region. While no longer serving as trustees, they continue to lend their time and talent to our community. Michelle is serving as a co-chair of the 35th Anniversary Gala in 2019-2020, and Lawrence continues to provide deep and meaningful counsel to the school. We would not be where we are without the Epsteins. Thank you for all you have done for the school and continue to do!

Endowments Grew to $5.5 Million 24
TMSPA Scholarship Fund In 2019, The Meadows School Parents Association executive committee voted to create an endowed scholarship from funds accumulated over many years of successful TMSPA events. This endowment will support financial aid for able and ambitious current and future students who may not be able to afford a Meadows education. The endowment was created with a gift of $50,000 that will be invested by the school, and the interest generated from these funds will give the gift of scholarship in perpetuity. The Meadows School Parents Association Scholarship Fund allows the school to expand its financial aid program in the coming years and will benefit generations of students. This is truly a wonderful legacy that benefits every aspect of our community. Thank you, TMSPA!
