Meredith seeks to be a place where all families feel welcome! To that aim, our goal is  to offer many different ways that families and community members can volunteer their time & energy to support our wonderful school, to engage in schoolwide & classroom specific events, to share their expertise, and to be part of creating the magic & joy at Meredith!
