We had our CKH Traction visit with Misti Kilgore from CkH. During our visit, we had the opportunity to hear from a panel of elementary students about how CKH is going from their perspectives. Students also took away tools to share back in the classroom. We are proud of the leadership on display!

🚨 BIG NEWS: The "All-In" Era starts TODAY! 🐝 Meridian, we’re doing something that’s never been done before. We believe that every single Yellow Jacket—from our littlest learners in Pre-K to our graduating Seniors—deserves to own a piece of their history. This year, we are on a mission to provide the 2026 Yearbook to every student and staff member for FREE. But we can't do it alone. We are calling on our local business leaders and neighbors to join the "All-In Era" as Legacy Partners. When you partner with us, you aren't just buying an ad—you are personally putting a book into the hands of our students. How you can help: ✅ Partner: Check out our Sponsorship Menu ✅ Share: Help us spread the word across Bosque County! ✅ Legacy: Secure your place in Meridian history. Let’s show the world how Meridian takes care of its own. 💛🖤 Contact Mr. Dagley for more details on how we can get a yearbook in every students hand this year! bdagley@meridianisd.org #MeridianISD #AllInEra #YellowJacketPride #MeridianTexas #Yearbook2026
