Welcome to the 2025–26 school year at Meridian Elementary School! I am thrilled to begin another year with our incredible students, families, and staff. Together, we will continue building a learning community where every child grows, thrives, and feels valued.

This year marks my 13th year at Meridian and my 14th year in education. It remains one of the greatest privileges of my life to serve as principal of this amazing school. At Meridian, we believe in creating a warm, caring, and inclusive environment where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to be their very best selves.

We know that when families and schools work together, children achieve remarkable things. Your involvement in your child’s education makes a world of difference, and I look forward to partnering with you every step of the way.

With warm regards,
Addie Lee
