Community Service
Meridian students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities that help them “do good” for the community in which they live.
These students:
- serve food each month at the Utah County Food and Shelter Coalition
- participate in a two-week food drive to benefit the Utah County Food and Shelter Coalition
- sponsor 10-15 families each Christmas in United Way’s Sub-for-Santa program
- volunteer as phone workers for the KBYU Pledge Drive
Students are also able to serve within their school community, providing mentoring and friendship to younger students:
- buddy reader partnerships between 6th grade and Kindergarten, 4th grade and 1st grade, and 2nd grade and PreKindergarten
- writing buddy partnership between 5th grade and Kindergarten
- math tutoring for advanced students provided by senior math students to 4th grade
- lunchtime help provided by 6th grade to the kindergarten
Encouraging students to look beyond themselves for ways to help the world around them is a part of Meridian’s commitment to educate the whole child
