Founding families were recognized and given a brick from the former 900 East building; donors were thanked with plaques and bowls filled with tasty chocolate coins and Meridian shirts; teachers were lauded with grateful words and a Meridian clasp pin.

Live entertainment featured the talents of past alumni McKinlee Covey (2006), Kelly Hennessey (2007), and Kelly Coombs, Katelyn Gallagher, and Becca Allen (2008). Meridian’s middle and upper school choirs performed as well, singing the well-loved school song “We Are One” with original accompaniments by sophomore Matthew Erickson.

Bombay House provided the delicious dinner and Class 3 student Katie Crowther was given the honor of cutting the 20th Anniversary cake.

Silent and live auctions featured hundreds of items donated by our community; thanks to the generosity of those in attendance and the talent of auctioneer Kevin Gallagher, close to $30,000 was raised for Meridian.
