Thank you to everyone who joined us via Zoom today for a special Tu B'Shvat Zoom Celebration! We had such a wonderful time! A Jewish National Fund (JNF) representative led our K-8 grade students in a joyous celebration. Our Meyer Prep classes joined with classes from around the country in participating in the JNF’s annual Tu B'Shvat celebration. JNF is proud to be a part of our Tu B’Shvat celebrations. You can read more about the holiday of Tu B'Shvat here. In honor of Tu B'Shvat, students were allowed to come to school dressed in colors found in nature (floral prints and colors such as brown and green). Click here to see more pictures from today’s celebration!

Meyer Prep is excited to announce Science Night!! Be prepared to get messy in the kitchen or outside with hands-on science fun.
