Meridian Community Unit School District #15

Meridian Middle School would like to thank Krekel's Macon for their support of Meridian Athletics.

In a generous effort to support the Meridian Volleyball team, Krekel's donated an ice-cream cone to each student who rode the fan bus over to Sullivan to watch the Sectional Championship. The kids thought this was pretty cool.

Next time you are at Krekel's buying one of their famous cheeseburgers, be sure to say thanks for their support.

Thank you Krekel's!

HAWK NATION Continued...

Our student body showed up BIG tonight and did a fantastic job of cheering our team to victory. They did a great job of encouraging, being loud, and were unified behind our girls. We had the louder side of the gym by far and the girls knew it.

Thank you HAWK NATION for brining the support.

Words aren't enough to express the gratitude.
