🎓 Leadership in Action. Learning in Motion.
At the Michigan Association of School Administrators Mid-Winter Conference, Superintendent Glann exemplified what it means to lead as a learner. While continuing her own professional learning, she also shared her expertise in school finance with fellow superintendents through her session:
“Fiscal Oversight Matters: Key Look-for’s in School Finance & Operations.”
At every level, Mustangs Are Learners 🐎—growing, leading, and lifting others along the way. 👏📊

Well, it appears that someone must have been watching the movies Frozen 1 & 2, and summoned Elsa to cast a wintery spell upon Michigan and plunge us into a blanket of iciness. ❄️ When it gets this cold outside, don't lick the basketball hoop pole. Your tongue will freeze to it. Don't ask us how we know... 🥶😂 Stay safe and warm tomorrow, Mustangs, but don't step in a puddle, Olaf will be watching! ☃️ We will see you all back in the hallways on Monday! A decision on evening events will be made around noon tomorrow and will be posted on social media and our website. The NHS blood drive scheduled for tomorrow has been CANCELLED. #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs #SnowDay

From all of us at Meridian Public Schools, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Mustangs! #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs #MerryChristmas
’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the school,
Not a creature was stirring—no students or staff in sight.
The lockers stood silent, the hallways were clear,
No bells were a-ringing, no backpacks were near.
The classrooms lay waiting, lights dimmed nice and low,
With visions of Christmas and cocoa to go.
Whiteboards were spotless, the Chromebooks asleep,
Even homework took a much-needed sleep.
The Mustangs all rested, the school staff at ease,
After weeks full of learning and holiday cheer.
Bus drivers had parked for a well-earned break,
No routes to be driven till the new year's mornings awake.
Food service had cleaned every pan, tray, and plate,
No trays to carry, no lunch line to stand—see you in January, just as planned!
Custodians shined every floor, hall, and stair,
So the school gleamed with pride and care.
Secretaries typed their last email just right,
While tech staff repaired devices just right.
The superintendent checked calendars twice,
And wished everyone rest—and weather quite nice.
So here’s to the Mustangs, calm, quiet, and bright,
As they dream of returning when the time is just right.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Merry Christmas Eve, Mustangs! 💚❤️🎄 #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs
