Incoming Class GatheringFor decades families have gathered at a nearby playlot to celebrate the start of the school year.
Favorite Food DinnerThe Favorite Food Dinner is an opportunity for the entire Mary Meyer School community to come together and share our favorite foods. Similar to a potluck, children choose their favorite food and bring it to school to share with his/her friends. Parents and children in both programs are invited.
Parent PotluckHeld early each fall, the parent potluck is an opportunity for parents to become acquainted with other parents in their child’s class. The dinner is held in a family’s home, on a date determined by the host family.
Cooking ClubCooking club gives a pair of parents the opportunity to cook with small groups of students several times during the school year. The parents and children meet at the beginning of the week to choose their menu and on Friday collaborate and cook to prepare snack for the whole class.
Learn By DoingIn one of our oldest traditions, parents gather at the school to “Learn by Doing.” During this event parents participate in “grown-up” versions of routine classroom activities, such creating self-portraits and cooking a fun snack in the spirit of Cooking Club. This is an adult only event and a fun way to get to know others in our community.
