Donate to the Annual Fund: update technology, expand our libraries, improve our playgrounds, and train our teachers!
Help us keep the "Meridian Difference" alive in reaching our annual $350,000 Annual Fund goal. We kindly request a donation of $300 per student to our Annual Fund. 
287,000 raised in 2025 as of 12/20/25

What does the Meridian Annual Fund support?

  • Maintaining instructional technology, which has a very short shelf life
  • Facilities maintenance (including playground updates this past year!)
  • Libraries (including the many important programs and apps we purchase for students)
  • International Baccalaureate training, which teachers receive annually
  • Faculty and Staff incentives, like retention bonuses (we strive to remain competitive in salaries with surrounding school districts)
In short, the Annual Fund keeps the school running so we can focus on our students. It sustains the school's operations by bridging the funding gap between state allocations and the resources required for our IB continuum education.
 
When we are fully funded, we maintain our mandated reserves and cover our expenses every year. The healthier our budget and reserves, the more we can implement new ideas, provide more professional development, and retain/attract high-quality educators and staff.
