Meridian’s National Honor Society is launching their first service project of the year, Operation Christmas Child, and we’d LOVE YOUR HELP! Operation Christmas Child’s goal is to assemble shoe boxes containing gifts of fun toys, school supplies, and personal care items—and then deliver them to children in need around the world. Each box will have a QR Code which can be used to track where the box is sent. You can help in one of two ways: Volunteer to fill a box OR Donate $10 to help offset shipping costs. Contact amy.boxey@merps.org if you'd like to fill a box. If you'd like to donate to shipping costs, visit: www.merps.org/efunds and look for the Operation Christmas Child link. Boxes and donations are due by November 8th. THANK YOU!!
Seniors & Senior Families, We hope you can make it! If not, the slides will be emailed to families upon completion of the event, and you can reach out to amy.boxey@merps.org with any questions you might have.

On Friday, September 15th, members of the senior class travelled to Mid Michigan College for Senior Focus Day. Students were able to tour Mid's welding and fabrication labs as well as speak with vendors from companies like Dow Chemical, Saint-Gobain and Merrill Technologies, among many others. Area college were also on hand to talk with students looking toward a collegiate degree. Here is what students had to say about the day:
“It was cool to see the fabrication shops. I didn’t know that colleges had those hands-on trade-type programs.”
“I liked how they had hands-on activities. I also learned that Mid has hunting/fishing [Outdoor Related ] programs.”
“My favorite thing was seeing the welding lab. I was able to do a virtual weld and was rated on how well I perfected the weld.”
