    Traditions

    The traditions that make Meadowbrook feel like family, year after year.

    Shared Traditions

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

    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.

    Incredi-Coins

    When students demonstrate incredible acts of kindness and good deeds that go above and beyond, they earn Incredi-Coins, small gold coins that celebrate character in action. Students can trade them in for small treats and toys, or give them to friends to benefit others, reinforcing that generosity and compassion are always rewarded at Meadowbrook.

    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 served to the table by our 3rd–6th grade 'waiters.' This cherished tradition fosters community, encourages healthy eating, and embodies The Meadowbrook Way.

    Helping others and giving back are central to the Meadowbrook experience.
