Meridian Community Unit School District #15

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week our golf team competed in the Regional at the Moweaqua Golf Course.

Special Shout out to Wyatt Martin for shooting a 77 which was good for 3rd place out of 87 golfers!

Wyatt will move on to the Sectional and play in Jacksonville on Monday.

Congrats Wyatt and good luck on Monday. Hawk Nation is behind you!!

Last night our gym was filled with loyal and supportive fans cheering on our MMS girls' basketball team. The 7th and 8th grade both won hard fought games against Pana. We are so proud of them!

Special shout out to our rowdy MS and HS boys as they let our girls' team know they could be counted on as loud voices of support. Keep it up boys!

Another special shout out to Shelby Renfro and Julia Meisenhelter for being the refs for our 6th grade team. They are great role models for our younger players as they demonstrated acts of service and leadership for our program. Thank you girls!

The Meridian School District would like to thank Blackland Transport and Kraft Family Grain for sponsoring our September athletic attendance event drawing. We also want to thank all students (and the rest of Hawk Nation) who showed support this month.

Students who attended any Meridian home game had an opportunity to write their name on a ticket and turn it in for a chance to win at the end of September. Every game attended meant more chances.

We were able to draw 4 winners from each school. Each winner won a $25 Amazon gift card.

This Month's winners are: Adaline M., Azaylea J., Mack G., Macklin W., Hudson N., McKenna J., Bella D., Javen A., Jordin O., Bella D., Lucas R., and Hanna S.

We will continue our athletic attendance drawing for October. Stay tuned for our new sponsor.

Remember the more you attend games....the better your chances. Good luck and go Hawks!

Our girls' basketball team had back to back wins last night vs AO. The 7th grade won 18-13 and our 8th grade won 25 to 17.

Be sure to come out tonight for the home opener vs Pana. The 6th grade game starts at 5:00. 7th and 8th grade will follow.

Keep it up girls!

The City of Macon is applying for a federal Safe Routes to Schools grant worth up to $250,000. If successful, grant funds will be used for upgrades to sidewalks throughout Macon. We need your help to gather the necessary information to include with the grant submission. All are encouraged to complete the survey as sidewalks are used for more than just getting to and from school. At times staff members take students off campus for various reasons, so ultimately all of our students will most likely benefit from the City successfully receiving this grant.

Please take a few moments to complete this survey. If you have more than one child, a submission for each student is encouraged.

Coach Wells is back! After a brief time away from Meridian, Coach Wells is making her return as a girls' basketball coach.

The team's first game is tonight at AO. Their first home game is tomorrow night vs Pana.

Let's cheer on Coach Wells and our MMS girls' basketball team!

The MMS athletic calendar ramps back up this week with Girls' Basketball! Good luck this year girls!

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

Our golf team finished their regular season schedule tonight verses CAM.

With it being the last regular season contest we were able to recognize our 3 senior golf members; Cierra Bliesner, Ashton Hawbaker, and Wade Julius.

They each had a great season and we wish them luck next week in the regional.

Our Bass Fishing team spent some time on Clinton Lake yesterday catching some Large Mouths.

Meridian was represented by Austin Merritt, Seth Ralston, Will Parton, Josh Pritchard, Joe Strohkirch, and Keaton Arndt.

The boys brought in 18.83 lbs. worth of fish into their boats.

Keep it up boys!

Planning on going to the Hawks football game on Saturday? Swing by the stand next to concessions to grab some dinner. They will be selling pork burgers for $4 or a burger and chips for $5. Thank you in advance for supporting the Music Boosters!

Here is this week's athletic calendar for HS.

Pink Night was created as a way to honor and celebrate the heroic fight against breast cancer. Tomorrow's match is dedicated to all the men and women who have been touched by breast cancer with the hopes that this devastating disease will one day be cured. The volleyball teams from Meridian and Central A&M have worked together to bring you this event. Hope to see you tomorrow night!

There was a mistake on the weekly calendar for this week. There is not a soccer game on Wednesday, instead the soccer game is on Thursday @ Athens.

This schedule has been corrected and updated.

We have a job vacancy for a high school special education teacher for this school year. Please contact us if you are interested in the position or would like more information.

Our MMS Softball and Baseball teams wrapped up their post season play this past week.

Now we move on to girls' basketball. Tryouts and practice begin tomorrow. Our MS game schedule will pick back up at the end of September!

Go Hawks!
