Last Thursday, 1st grade students attended a field trip to Rooftop Landing in Clare to visit some of Santa's best friends! The 1st grade students were amazed by the knowledge that the staff had about Santa's reindeer, and how they are taken care of! Mrs. Church, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Leddy and Mrs. Block would like to send a huge thank you to the Meridian Elementary School PTO for funding this magically fun and educational field trip to Rooftop Landing for their students! ❤️💚🦌 #ReachHigher #MeridianMustangs

Skyward Reminder 12/8/25
🎉🐴A Morning With Our Littlest Mustangs🐴🎉

Superintendent Glann spent the morning visiting our preschool classrooms at the Meridian Early Childhood Center and let’s just say our littlest Mustangs wasted no time inviting her into their classrooms. They even offered a little “style guidance,” which she happily accepted. 😄✨

Visits like this remind us how important early childhood education truly is. These classrooms are filled with imagination, language development, early problem-solving, and the social skills that set the stage for future success. Every day, our preschoolers are learning through play, and thriving because of it.

A huge thank-you to our amazing Meridian Early Childhood Center teachers for creating joyful, engaging, and nurturing spaces for our youngest learners. We are so proud of the strong start they’re giving every Mustang. 💙

“The Snow Day That Wasn’t — Mustang Edition”

❄️ Well… every Mustang in Meridian saw that snowstorm roll in and thought,
“Surely this is it. Surely THIS is my snow day moment.”

Mother Nature said, “Here’s 6 inches of snow,” and the Mustang spirit replied,
“Nice try… see you Monday!” 😄

So yes , Thanksgiving break is over, alarms are officially back on, and we cannot wait to welcome our Mustangs bright and early tomorrow!

Bundle up, grab those gloves you swear you didn’t lose in the hallway somewhere, and bring your very best post-Turkey-Day energy.

We’ll handle the heat, the smiles, and maybe even a sprinkle of hot-cocoa vibes. ☕️😉

Drive safe, and we will see you tomorrow, Mustang Nation! 💙🐴❄️

Our passionate teachers and staff who go above and beyond each day to help every learner thrive.

Our curious, inspiring students who bring energy, ideas, and spirit to every classroom and hallway.

Big news at Meridian Junior High School… our cafeteria just got a major glow-up! ✨🎉

The brand-new furniture has completely transformed the space, giving it a bright, modern, and welcoming feel. Our students are loving it — a few even said it feels like they’re “eating at a restaurant”! 🍽️💬

Even better, this upgrade was made possible through our Food Service Fund, which uses meal-claim revenue to reinvest directly into student spaces. 💙

We’re excited to celebrate this fresh new look and the positive energy it brings to our Mustangs every day. Go Mustangs! 🐴💫
