Meadowbrook prides itself on the many traditions that have developed over the years. Here is a brief description of some of our favorite ones...

Animal Adoption

When Meadowbrook closes for breaks, our animal friends in the Science Center become available as temporary guests in the homes of our students.

Chimes

A musical performance group of fifth and sixth graders.

Community Service Learning

At Meadowbrook, every grade level participates in Community Service Learning. We believe the students gain an awareness of and sensitivity toward others as well as an understanding of the importance of volunteer service. For example, students in grades three through six visit local nursing homes and establish one-on-one relationships with residents whom they visit and correspond with throughout the year and beyond.

"David Dollar"

Named for Headmaster David B. Stephens, these "dollars" are given to students as a reward for demonstrating acts of kindness or for making a positive difference in daily school life.

Field Day

A day of intramural athletic competition between Red and Grey teams (our school colors). Curious to know how color captains are chosen? Click here.

Flag Club/Chair Club

As a means of increasing our children's level of involvement and responsibility at the school, fifth graders assume the tasks of raising and lowering the American flag each day, while fourth graders set up chairs in the Dining Commons in preparation for lunch.

Grandparent/Special Friend Day

Each year, a day is set aside in which third grade children may bring their grandparent/special friend to school for a tour, a view of what they are doing in class, and refreshments.

Grub Days

Periodically, on Fridays, students wear "grub", or casual clothes, rather than school uniforms.

Hobby Show

Sixth graders have a chance to show their school peers their extracurricular pursuits as they "present" their favorite hobby.

Ice Skating

Each Friday afternoon in January and February, the entire school goes ice skating at a local rink. Upper classmen help younger students take to the ice for a family-oriented, fun-filled afternoon.

Meadowbrook Singers

A choral group of fourth, fifth and sixth graders that meet weekly and perform at local community events.

Medieval Festival

Meadowbrook's sixth grade "seniors", take part in a gala that sweeps them back in time to the Middle Ages. Children are dressed in period costumes, and take part in realistic events that depicts the activities of the times. These include a maypole dance, a jousting tournament, a dubbing ceremony for "lords" and "ladies" and a real medieval feast.

Red and Grey Soccer

An annual intramural soccer competition where first, second and third graders compete, followed by a game among our fourth, fifth and sixth graders.

School Clubs

A variety of after school clubs including Math and Chess.

Science Expo

An annual exposition of student science projects in several categories of exploration.

Summer Camps

Meadowbrook offers a summer arts and crafts camp, four different Summer Discovery Days trips as well as field hockey camp for girls.

Sledding

On snowy days at lunch and recess breaks, students (and their parents!) are welcome to enjoy sledding on the beautiful Meadowbrook grounds.

Waiters

Our fifth graders learn responsibility and service to others during lunch in the Dining Commons, as waiters for their fellow classmates.
