Fourth grade parents! Please don’t forget about your student’s Every Kid Outdoors pass they received from the National Parks rep earlier this year. The Ross family was able to take advantage and got in to Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park for free over Spring Break. Where have you used your pass? (Remember, you can still use it through August!)

💙 Neurodiversity Awareness Spirit Week is coming up right after Spring Break!
At Meridian, we celebrate that every brain works in its own unique and amazing way. Throughout the week, students and staff will participate in fun spirit days that promote understanding, inclusion, and appreciation for the many ways people think, learn, and experience the world.
We can’t wait to celebrate the strengths that make our school community so special! 💙🧠✨

🍀 Mrs. Kaz’s class set off on a fun Leprechaun Hunt around the school, searching for sneaky clues and signs that a little green visitor might have been nearby. The students had a blast exploring, working together, and keeping their eyes peeled for a bit of St. Patrick’s Day magic! 🌈✨
Congratulations to Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Dewitt (“Ms. Amber”) for being our staff Certified and Classified award winners for Q3!
The 3-6 grade awards assembly ended with a Minute to Win It game as well. Students tried to rally, but you can’t keep our competitive teachers down!!
Things got a little messy and a lot of fun in our K–2 Minute to Win It Challenge! 😄
Students and teachers faced off to see who could grab the most gummy worms from a plate of whipped cream using only their mouths—no hands allowed! The crowd cheered, the whipped cream flew, and the laughter was nonstop.
🏆 Congratulations to Mrs. Chilton, who came out on top as our champion!
Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make it such a memorable moment for our K–2 students. Sweet, silly fun at its best! 🍬🐛

We want to give a special Mustang “Thank You” to the teachers who put on last week’s talent show. Between auditions, rehearsals, dress rehearsal, and the shows, they put in HOURS and HOURS of extra work. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Ms. Caffall, Ms. Smith, Mrs. Birch, Mrs. Noel, Mrs. Cosper, and Ms. Rhode.
It’s Spring Break!! How are we feeling?
