Community Service
Community service has always been a key part of The Meadowbrook School’s mission. We believe the best way to teach children is through action, and there is great joy in giving to others.
Helping others and giving back to our community are central to the Meadowbrook experience. Students at every grade level learn the value of serving the greater good and see how service benefits both those who give and those who receive.
In recent years, students, teachers, and parents have taken part in many community service projects that support our local community. Through these experiences, students gain a meaningful understanding of the importance of volunteering and helping others.
Some of our on-going community service programs include:
Even the youngest students can appreciate what it means to help others.
-

Monthly Community Outreach Grub Days to benefit a local organization chosen by each grade. Some organizations through the years have included Stray Animal Network, Platelet Disorder Support Association, Share Food Program, OHAAT, A Woman's Place, and Penny Pack Trust.
At Meadowbrook, learning goes beyond academics. Through our ongoing commitment to serve the broader community of which we are a part, we help our students learn that service is a part of daily living. By helping others, our students learn compassion, generosity, and empathy – lessons they will carry throughout life.
