’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

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
