The Meyer Prep Eagles’ volleyball team ventured to Trinity Christian School for a league showdown, initially struggling in the opening set before rallying with strong serving to claim victory. They maintained their momentum into the second set, securing a decisive win in straight sets. With a flawless 3-0 record overall and 2-0 in the CSAL, the Eagles look forward to a challenging match against conference rival, The Greene School.

The boys' flag football team faced off against league opponent Trinity PBG, showing improvement despite a 21-0 loss. The Eagles started strong with a key defensive stop, demonstrating progress on that side of the ball. While the offense struggled to score, Coach K remains optimistic, noting that they are close to breaking through. "Our offense is looking better," he said, "and we’re just a few plays away from getting into the end zone." Despite the defeat, Coach K praised the team’s effort and growth, emphasizing that each game brings them closer to their potential. The Eagles will continue working hard as they prepare for their next matchup against The Greene School. 

Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade students participated in the inaugural Meyer Prep Potato Olympics at this month. The event's goal was to create a good rapport between teachers and students and build a strong 3rd through 5th Grade community. The Potato Olympics involved creative writing, artistic innovations, a pinch of math, and a good dose of competitive spirit!

Students began by choosing their potato "athletes," deciding which potato would be best at competing in the different Olympic sports: break dancing, bowling, long-distance "running", balance beam, and long jump. In writing class, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders created a training routine and wrote a short biography to enhance their potatoes with fun origin stories. The students decorated their potatoes in art class, giving them eyes, hair, and even some kippahs. In math, students solved potato word problems, and in science, the students measured the height and weight of their potatoes. The 5th graders even created introduction videos in design class using Chatterpix.

Needless to say, everyone had a blast at the Meyer Prep Potato Olympics, and one student from each grade was awarded a bronze, silver, or gold medal. Our winners:

• Gold - Hudson H. (3rd Grade)
• Silver - Eleora H. (5th Grade)
• Bronze - Leon D. (4th Grade)

Congratulations to the winners and everyone who participated in creating a strong Lower School community! Click here for more Potato Olympics photos.
