From the Head of School
Dear Mead Hall Families,

The days leading up to Christmas break are always a meaningful and joyful time at school. Our children make many wonderful memories at this time of the year and I am thankful that Mead Hall may bless them with good memories of their childhood at school. 

The most prominent of the many moments of this season for us are the Christmas Lessons and Carols services last week for grades 1-4 and 5-12, and the Christmas Programs this week at the St. Thaddeus Campus. Our Lessons and Carols services featured the scriptures narrating the advent and nativity of Jesus, the carols celebrating his birth, prayers to prepare our hearts for Christmas, and our middle and upper school bands that shared the music of this joyous season. Last week the bands also offered a Christmas Concert on the field of the Aiken Prep Campus. The two Lower School Christmas programs, "Lessons, Carols, and Drums on a Starry Evening", featured our Fourth Grade Students, lighting up a beautiful night under the moon on the field of the St. Thaddeus Campus.

As we head out for Christmas vacation, I am grateful that we have had a successful semester of learning at Mead Hall and for the faith and community life we have as a school. Although life has been tough at times as the pandemic continues to hurt and disrupt us and those we love, it is my hope that God will continue to bless us all on our journey.
 
May the peace of the Lord be with you all this Christmas and in the year to come,

Frank Sawyer

“Thank You”
We would like to thank our Mead Hall Community for your support in helping us raise $40,823.27 so far this year for our Annual Fund! Of this amount, $18,620.55 was donated in celebration of Giving Tuesday! 
This is a great beginning as we build towards this year’s Annual Fund goal of $200,000!
We could not have done this without you, our wonderful community, as we strive to provide
an excellent and inspiring educational environment for each student so they can
be successful and continue to flourish academically and socially.
 
 Thank you again and we appreciate your continued support throughout the year! 
Wishing you and your family a blessed Holiday Season!
