    Community & Traditions

    The traditions, events, and shared experiences that make Meadowbrook feel like family.

    Shared Traditions

    These aren't just events; they're the threads that weave our community together, year after year.

    Buddies, Leaders & Greeters

    Sixth graders are paired with preschoolers in our beloved Buddies program, building cross-grade mentorship, patience, and kindness. Upper school students also serve as Leaders and Greeters, welcoming families and guests to campus.

    Red vs. Gray Soccer

    The entire school divides into two teams for this spirited annual tradition. It's not about the score; it's about school spirit, sportsmanship, and community.

    Community Service

    Service is woven into the Meadowbrook experience at every grade level. From supporting local food banks and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to monthly Grub Days benefiting community organizations, students learn that giving back is a part of daily living.

    Family-Style Dining

    Students of all grade levels sit together with a teacher for a family-style meal. Our 3rd–6th graders serve as 'waiters.' This cherished tradition fosters community, encourages healthy eating, and embodies The Meadowbrook Way.

    Community Service

    Helping others and giving back are central to the Meadowbrook experience. Students at every grade level learn the value of serving the greater good.
