A Special Lunch with Superintendent Meyer

OEF recently had the pleasure of hosting three very special guests for a memorable Lunch with Superintendent Todd Meyer! Oak Creek Elementary first graders Vera L., Kairi K., and Morgan G. joined Mr. Meyer for lunch in his office, along with Vera’s mother, Charlotte, and little brother, Julian.

Charlotte won the special lunch experience at OEF’s annual fundraiser, ZOOlentangy, on August 14. During their visit, the students chatted with Mr. Meyer about their favorite parts of school—including recess and math—and shared what they hope to be when they grow up: an artist, a banker, and a teacher!

OEF extends a special thank you to Superintendent Meyer and OLSD Chief Communications Officer Krista Davis for helping make this a fun and memorable experience for our young guests.

Experiences like this are one of the many ways ZOOlentangy brings our community together while raising important funds to support innovative learning opportunities throughout Olentangy Schools.
