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 2019-20 Honor Roll of Donors. In this publication, we report each year on the financial strength of The Meadows School and just as importantly, thank the Meadows community for its ongoing and generous support. The 2019-20 school year began with a focus on celebrating our 35th anniversary as a school. Our community’s strong support for The Meadows was evident in sold out events like our Aviators night at the Las Vegas Ballpark, the Paint and Wine Party held on the mall, and our family ice skating event at City National Arena. The sense of community and goodwill generated at these events was palpable. Then, when the global coronavirus pandemic shuttered our campus last spring, our focus shifted. Teachers quickly made the pivot to online learning, providing an end-of-year experience that was a far cry from our normal Meadows traditions, but which allowed students to finish the year with a quality education and experience that prepared them for the year to come. The support you demonstrated from the moment the pandemic hit was a great source of strength and inspiration as well. Indeed, nearly $300,000 was donated to The Meadows Community Relief Fund to help struggling families and ensure that the school could make the necessary investments to continue to thrive through the pandemic. During this time, the School’s leadership was setting its sights on preparing for the 2020-21 school year. The Board of Trustees met often—sometimes weekly—to address new concerns and threats to our institution’s stability.
With confidence in the support of our community, the Board moved to offer a tuition credit to returning families, gave the administration the necessary latitude to invest in on-campus safety measures and technology to serve distance learning, and gave the green light for adopting an expensive but necessary surveillance testing protocol so that we could inspire confidence in the health and safety of our community. Your support through it all has made it possible for The Meadows to continue to be an educational leader in the Las Vegas community and beyond. Your generosity has helped to fund the aforementioned testing protocol that is envied by many independent schools around the country. While local schools have remained closed, we are fortunate to be able to continue to provide inperson educational experiences for our students. With your on-going support, we look forward to continuing to enhance our safety measures and our educational prowess, regardless of the difficulties we may face. 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

BEGINNING SCHOOL PLANTING DAY
Thank You, Donald & Janet Janet Kofkin and the late Dr. Donald Buchanan joined The Meadows School Board of Trustees in 2005 with a strong desire to give back to the school community that had become such an important part of their family. Over the next fifteen years, they gave of themselves tirelessly, never forgetting how important TMS had been in the lives of their daughters, Dr. Sarah Buchanan (’03) and Dr. Cara Buchanan (’07). Janet and Don focused on people and how TMS could improve itself to best serve its students, faculty, and families. Always hard working, supportive, independent and forward thinking, Janet and Don were tremendous trustees and even better human beings. They were role models to many, exceptional examples of the best that we can be, and TMS truly is a better place because of their dedication and commitment. With much love and great thanks, Carrie and Justice Douglas Herndon TMS Parents and Board of Trustees Members

Distance Learning Starting in March of 2020, class time may have looked very different than any semester in the past, but it didn’t stop our students and teachers from having some fun and enjoying school.

Community Relief Fund Donors In response to the hardships faced by many in our community due to the Coronavirus Pandemic and subsequent citywide shutdowns in early 2020, we created the Meadows Community Relief Fund. Many families and faculty and staff members immediately stepped up to donate, helping us to raise close to $300,000 to provide aid to Meadows families in need and support additional safety measures at the school. Thank you for supporting one another during this unprecedented time!
