Meridian ISD

Homecoming week kicked off with cowboy and country club gear. Wear your best rhyme for Tuesday.

Here are just a few of the gold stars handed out today at MES. Staff honor each other for their hard work and care with gold stars.

Juniors who were on campus during lunch today received their raffle tickets for the cooler of meats raffle! Tickets are $10 a piece. If enough tickets are sold by the golf tournament on November 7th, we will draw a winner then! Get with a member of the Class of 2028 or Coach Sterling for tickets!

Students from 5th, 6th, & 8th grade enjoyed a special performance of The Diary of Anne Frank at the Lake Whitney Arts Center. The cast took time off of work to put on a special production for our Yellow Jackets! Their president shared: It was so very cool to look out from the stage and see every single kid leaning forward in their seat, engrossed in the story. Our Yellow Jackets are thankful for this opportunity.

Students in Mrs. DeBorde's class, read excerpts from Lydia Gil’s novel, Letters from Heaven. In the story, the main character, Celeste, honors family traditions, connects with her heritage, and preserves cherished memories by cooking her family's favorite dishes. To bring this powerful theme to life in her classroom, Mrs. DeBorde hosted a "Letters from Heaven" Family Food & Traditions Celebration on October 16th, in which, students brought dishes from home.

We are so proud of our Yellow Jackets who have been recognized for showing responsibility! Our character trait focus this 6 weeks is responsibility and these Jackets are shining!

We ended our Big Kahuna fundraiser with a big hit! Thanks for all of the support that made it happen! Students enjoyed the party bus and Simple Simon's to celebrate.

Happy Boss’s Day to an amazing principal! Thank you for your leadership, support, and all you do for our school. We are so grateful to have someone who leads with heart and makes a difference every day! ❤️🍎
