Happening Now at Meredith

Support Meredith at the 2024 Auction & Events!

The auction is our largest fundraiser of the year. In addition to supplementing the school with resources and underwriting events, the auction is critical to funding important support and climate staff for the 2024-25 school year. 

This year, we are excited to announce two weeks of online silent auction fundraising from May 5 – 19. Our capstone evening event, Soirée Under the Stars, will take place on Friday, May 17, at the historic Headhouse Shambles in Society Hill. We also will hold family-friendly events beginning April 20, including school and community service events that embody this year’s fundraising theme, One World, One Meredith. Stay tuned for more details on activities, dates and registration for those events.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive to Benefit Old Pine Community Center

As we continue to embody the spirit of “One World, One Meredith,” we are partnering with Old Pine Community Center for a Peanut Butter & Jelly Drive! On a weekly basis, Old Pine provides care packages that include staples for a well-balanced diet, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, bread, milk, and a variety of canned goods and pantry items to local families experiencing food insecurity.

Now through Friday, May 24, we will collect jars of peanut butter and jelly to help support OPCC’s efforts to ensure quality and nutritious food for all members of the community.

Here’s how it will work:

  • Put your child’s classroom on the jars. Please mark the bottom of each jar with your child’s class or homeroom numberusing a permanent marker.
  • The classroom/homeroom that collects the most jars at the end of the two weeks will celebrate with their very own pizza party
  • Drop the donations in the designated areas. There will be two bins on each floor of the school (one on either end), as well as in the modular building to drop the marked donations.
  • Plastic jars are preferred.
  • If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Angela McCartney or Sara Mazenko.

Thanks for contributing to the betterment of our community and our world! We really are #strongertogether!
