Hello, Meadow Park families! My name is Mrs. Elek, and I'm excited to be your principal. I grew up here in Charlotte County and even attended Meadow Park for a bit in Elementary School. After getting my bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida (GO KNIGHTS!) I returned to Charlotte County and taught at the elementary level for 10 years. My favorite subjects are Math and Writing. After getting my master's degree from Florida Gulf Coast University (Go Eagles!), I was named the Assistant Principal at Sallie Jones in Punta Gorda. In 2017, I transferred to Meadow Park, where I've loved serving as your Assistant Principal for the past 6 years.

I'm married to a wonderful man who is also an educator, and we have 3 children currently attending Charlotte County schools. I stay busy by chauffeuring my kiddos around to dance, soccer, and piano lessons. When I have free time, I usually spend it with my family or friends. I love a good game night or a fun day at the pool!

My name is Meridith Meerman and I am the Lead Teacher at Meadow Park Elementary. This is my first year here at Meadow Park Elementary School but I have been in the county for ten years. My professional background is in the intermediate grades (3rd-5th).  However, I have two of my own children, which has me invested in primary elementary as well.  I love to teach science and come from a Montessori background. I believe that as humans we learn by doing, and love to be hands on and do projects. I run the Solar Cooking Club. 

I have lived a little bit here and a little bit there. My family is Dutch, but I was born in Ohio. I have lived in Kansas and North Carolina too. My husband and I have two beautiful children, Michael and Faith. We have four German Shorthaired Pointers, two cats, two Sulcata Tortoises and a bunch of chickens and turkeys! I enjoy being outdoors and staying active.
