    Thanks to a generous donation from the Timmons family, Meristem was able to purchase a new van for our students! This is going to give our programs so much more flexibility in transporting students to classes, activities, and even the grocery store. We are so thankful!

    Meristem | Awaken the Possible!

    Hey Everyone reminder we have our move conference coming up in a month. The theme is “moving with moments of opportunity.” We will be exploring this them through a variety of movement experiences. I'll be dusting off my orienteering coaching hat and teaching two sessions on the basics of orienteering and how those skills transfer and apply to other areas of life. If you don't know what orienteering is drop by my sessions! Its going to be a great weekend with some world renowned teachers. Its for anyone who wants to learn and grow using movement as a means. Its the basis of what we do at Meristem. Especially if your a teacher, home school parent, like the outdoors, do therapeutic work, the workshops will have really good nuggets to take away. As always you get to spend three days on the beautiful Meristem campus and eat delicious food made by our cafe! For more info reach. #meristem #meristemmoveconfrence

    Meristem's Theatre Arts program has received a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to produce an adaptation of The Giving Tree next year! NEA support is extremely competitive and the program is thrilled to have been selected. Thank you NEA!! We plan to have multiple performances in Spring of 2025 and invite the community, especially children and families, to the show. More info coming soon! For now, enjoy this clip from our performance of Mary Poppins from last year!
