If you have children in multiple grade levels, you can pick one of the times and pick up for each child at that time. Our drive thru pick up will be at our north doors. Please just pull through and remember to stay in your vehicle and we will come to you. Most grade level teachers will be present during their grade level pick up times. Please remember to bring any school books you have at home to return - this includes any hard back school books and library books. We don’t need workbooks returned. Thank you in advance for your patience with this as we will try to do it as quickly and safely as possible.

Greetings from Mrs. Cocagne!! I miss you all and hope you are all staying healthy and safe!! ❤
Weeks ago I had changed out the bulletin board with new beautiful art work in hopes that we would be returning to see the awesome job 5th grade had done on their latest art project. I had no idea it would be their last project with me. So in honor of these wonderful students graduating on to the middle school next year I would love to share their zentangle watercolor salt wash projects. 💚 Mrs. Hadowsky

5th grade art
Today 5th grade will be the final grade of MES art show work. They have worked very hard this year learning how to use value and shading in their art to create depth and space. First they learned how to use the special shading tools to shade a sphere. Next they used those skills with colored pencils to blend colors. The final project was to use those skills to create a perspective landscape in a similar style to the American artist Grant Wood.
Good afternoon Meridian Hawks! Today, Governor Pritzger reported that he will extend the mandated school closure through April 30th with remote learning in place. Mr. Pygott sent an email earlier today with a Q&A letter in regards to remote learning and our current situation. If you did not receive this, please let me know. For MES, remote learning will not look different from what you have been experiencing since March 17th. Your child's teacher will be sending out updated remote learning plans for the weeks ahead and we will continue to provide points for completion. Plans will also be posted on each teachers website through Meridianhawks.net. As we are all getting used to a new reality, I understand that each family is facing a variety of challenges and that remote learning is just one of those challenges at this time.. While your child may struggle with less guidance from the teachers, I believe they will still learn and grow from this experience. I told this to our teachers the other day, it is OK to not have all the answers. We don't either at this time, and that is just fine. Please email or dojo the teacher and/or myself with any questions or concerns through this process. Our primary goal is to maintain our positive relationships and connections with students and families, along with keeping everyone safe. We are hopeful that students will continue to learn through this time as well. We are going to be flexible and understanding with all students and families, and we are grateful for your flexibility and understanding as well. Together, we will get through this!!
A tessellation is a continuous pattern with no gaps or spaces. The 4th grade students created their own pattern and used their imagination to change the shape into a person, object or animal.
After looking at Vincent Van Gogh's paintings "Bedroom at Arles" and "The Chair" students completed a 3d pop out room.
Today will be the posting of the 4th grade artshow. The fourth grade students spent most of the year learning how use one point perspective in their landscapes. We learned about the art of Vincent Van gogh and also created a tessellation.
Show us your Meridian Hawks spirit!
Change in meal distribution -
Beginning Monday, March 30th we will be adjusting our grab and go meal pick up schedule to fewer days in an effort to reduce the number of times people have to get out. Our new pick up days will be on Mondays and Wednesdays. We will give out multiple days at each pick up day. The distribution sites will remain the same and the times will remain from 11:15-12:30. The pick-up sites are MES, MMS, Boody Post Office, and Hyde Park office. Meals are available to all students at any of the locations and are FREE for all students.
