You are in total control of your entry
- The only required fields are name, relationship to student, and student's teacher
- You decide - share your phone numbers, email addresses and/or street address
- Make changes at any time
- You can share your family entry with your child's other parent
Google Translate is available in the top left corner, for those who would like to access the site in another language.
You can also access the directory on your phone via the

Turkey Bingo is a smashing success
Special thanks to Darlene Seitz and Lisa Lux, our Bingo Co-Chairs!
This past Friday night we gathered several hundred people from the Stillmeadow Community for a fantastic Bingo, Raffle and Silent Auction. We raised $3,800 for Stillmeadow and had a fun time doing it!
Thank you to the teachers, faculty and parents who donated their time, energy and shrink-wrapped goodies to this fun event. Ms. DeCarlo held court during Bingo and delighted the kids, who got to pick the winning raffle tickets (forever may she reign).
Thank you also to our community partners:
