MERIDIAN FOOD DRIVE STARTS TODAY!
It's time to come together and make a difference in our community! Our annual food drive officially kicks off TODAY!
Each student received a grocery bag today with a list of the most-needed items attached. We encourage students and families to fill those bags and help us support families in need!
The class on each campus that brings in the most donations will win a PRIZE!
Every can, box, and donation makes a difference. Let's show what it means to be a Meridian Jacket and come together to help others!
Meridian ISD invites our community to join us as we come together to honor the brave men and women who have served our country!
Our Veterans Day Assembly will be held on Wednesday, November 11th, at 10:20 AM in the Meridian High School Gym.
As part of our program, we will be putting together a special slideshow recognizing the veterans in our families and community.
We need your help! If you have a veteran you would like included in our slideshow, please email the following information to gkrueger@meridianisd.org:
Veteran's name
Branch of service
Years served (if known)
A photo of the veteran
Please help us recognize and celebrate those who have sacrificed and served our country.
Following the assembly, we invite all veterans and their families to join us in the library for snacks and drinks as a small thank-you for their service.
We look forward to honoring our heroes!
All eyes ahead as they prepare for their upcoming performance at the AutoZone Liberty Bowl! #WinTheDay

What a week it has been for our Meridian FFA LDE teams! Over the past five days, our students have competed at three different contests, stepped outside their comfort zones, and represented Meridian FFA incredibly well!
We are SO proud of the hard work, dedication, and growth these students have shown. For many of them, this is their first year competing in Leadership Development Events (LDEs), and they are already proving that Meridian FFA is a chapter to watch!

But these results are about so much more than placings and banners.
These students have spent countless hours memorizing speeches, studying FFA knowledge, practicing interviews, perfecting scripts, and learning to work together as teams. They have pushed themselves to try something new, built confidence, and represented our school with pride.
As we continue working to build and grow our FFA program, weeks like this remind us exactly why we do what we do. We are building more than competitive teams. We are building leaders, confidence, friendships, and a program our students and community can be proud of.
A huge thank you to our parents, teachers, administration, and community for supporting these students and giving them the opportunity to succeed.
We are incredibly proud of our Meridian FFA members, and we cannot wait to see what they accomplish next!
Join us bright and early this Saturday at 7:00AM to send off our Band of Gold! The band will be performing at UIL Area at 11:45AM in Bastrop. #WinTheDay
