Meridian Early College's Relay For Life team and National Honor Society hosted the Someone Special Dance this past Friday night. This year's theme was a masquerade ball. The night was filled with laughter, dancing, crafts, and special moments that will be cherished for years to come.

Proceeds from the event will support the American Cancer Society as well as NHS service projects. This year's NHS projects included the Toni & Trish House bake sale, Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection, Christmas gifts for Meridian Acres residents, a Super Bowl raffle to support the Humane Society of Midland County, making Valentines for Vets, and the Stamp Out Hunger USPS Food Drive.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make a difference in our community and beyond! 💙 #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs
