Meridian Community Unit School District #15

Weather changes:

Hi Hawk Nation!

Due to conditions outside of our control, the following adjustments have been made to Hawk Athletics for this week:

The Girls' CIC Tournament games scheduled for Monday have been moved to Wednesday in the HS gym (NO CIC games on Monday). Tuesday's Girls' CIC Tournament games WILL REMAIN the same. A fresh schedule reflecting these changes are attached.

The boys' game scheduled for Wednesday against Shelbyville has been adjusted to the MS gym and remains on Wednesday. Senior night will be moved to Friday night's game against Nokomis. This will allow our seniors the opportunity to have senior night in the HS gym.

The away games that are scheduled for our MS volleyball and Freshman boys are still being evaluated by all schools involved. Final communication about these games will come from respective coaches.

With the wind chill forecasted to be -25 in the morning, Meridian schools will be closed on Monday, January 26.

Here is this week's athletic schedule for the MS.

Our HS girls came back from being down by 11 at halftime to win their first game of the CIC Tournament 61 to 55 over CAM.

Great job girls!

Meridian is scheduled to play their 2nd game on Tuesday against Tuscola at 6:00.

The 8th grade boys' regional has adjusted their game time tomorrow to 10:15 at Hillsboro. Bus time will be 7:45.

Attached is the girls' adjusted game time for their CIC tournament tomorrow (at Meridian). We will be playing 2 hours earlier due to increased chances of snow in the evening.

Here is the schedule for the CIC boys' basketball tournament at Tuscola.

Our girls earned a quality conference win last night versus Tuscola.

Great job girls!

Hawk Nation, bundle up and head to the gym for tonight's "battle of the birds" matchup as we verse the Cardinals from WL.

Our JV game will begin at 6:00 with Varsity to follow.

The game is still ON....see you there!

Here is the weekly athletic schedule for the HS.

Here is the weekly athletic schedule for the MS.

Our HS boys picked up a win last night against St. T.

A few timely free-throws, tightened defense, and some quality rebounds late helped seal the deal in the close game.

We ended up winning 78-71.

Great job boys!

The district has an opening for a Student Services Coordinator. This position will primarily be at the elementary school. A bachelor's degree in human services or a related field is preferred.

Monday night is Meridian Youth League Night. If you have a son or daughter in Meridian youth league, please consider bringing them to the game. They can sit behind the bench and be a part of the run out before the game.

See you there!

Meridian athletics would like to thank Matt Roush with "Signature Sign and Lighting " and "Glenda Williamson," for his donation for our End of the Month Athletic Attendance Drawing.

If you are a Meridian student and come to a game, go the the concession stand, write your name on a ticket, and put it in the container. The more games you attend the better your chances. This month's winners are...
MES: Dewy G. & Kamden R.
MMS: Anna F. & Cali S.
MHS: Emily M. & Ava M.

This month's winners each received a $25 gift certificate to Krekels. Be sure to save room for the ice cream!

Thanks a bunch Matt Roush for your sponsorship!

Mark your calendars for our upcoming senior nights for both the girls and boys.

Hawk Nation, the lady in this picture is Jenny. She is the person you see in the halls during our HS sporting events keeping things clean and orderly so we can enjoy our beautiful facility. What many of you may not know, is that when all the noise and all the action is over after the game, the gym gets strangely quiet and empty. That is when she goes to work picking up many of our popcorn bags and water bottles. She gets the bleachers clean and the floor swept while the rest of the community makes our journey home reflecting on the game. She does a great job of making sure when the kids get back in the morning, the gym looks like it is brand new and it doesn't even look like we had a game in it the night before. We are so thankful for her. Again, her name is Jenny and please help her by reminding our students to pick up the concession items once they become trash. We can all work together to make our community stronger. THANK YOU, Jenny, for your quiet service. WE SEE YOU!

The MS volleyball team is just getting underway. They had an early morning game verses Taylorville on Saturday and was able to catch them in action. They are off to a strong start.

Come out on Tuesday the 13th to catch a game at the MS as they take on Sangamon Valley. It will be a 6th/7th/8th grade evening. Action starts at 5:00 for the 6th grade.

See you here!
