Meridian Middle School

Continued....more 7th grade state pictures...

This past weekend Meridian hosted the state series for class 2A 7th grade boys' basketball. It was a jam packed Saturday with lots of great visitors and many community members coming together to make the day a success. We were not able to catch everyone who helped, but the event would not have been possible without many members from Hawk Nation helping along the way. For that we are grateful and thankful!!

Hosting this event makes us extremely proud of our school. As visitors walked through there were many complements about our facilities and people. It is a great reminder for me to NOT take our school for granted. This is an awesome place with awesome people!

Students worked on becoming proficient (80% or higher) on IXL during the 1st semester of the year and are now working towards mastery (100%) during the 2nd semester. These two classes really kicked it in and were up for the challenge to gain possession of our IXL trophies for the month! Congratulations to Mrs. Moyer's 1st hour English class! They earned the ELA IXL trophy by mastering, on average, 7.7 skills per student in January. Congratulations to Mrs. Houser's 4th hour math class on earning the trophy for back-to-back months (December & January)! On average, they mastered 4.9 skills per student in January. Keep mastering those skills, Hawks!

We had 95 students with Perfect Attendance at MMS during the month of January! These students will receive either a sweet or salty treat during the lunch period today. Keep making attendance a priority, Hawks!

Wednesday, February 4 is a 1:30 p.m. dismissal for school improvement. It's hard to believe that Friday is midterm for the 3rd quarter!

Looking ahead - The Student Council Valentine dance will take place on Friday, February 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the MMS gym. Good luck to our volleyball and Scholastic Bowl teams when they compete this week! Go Hawks!

Students participated in a school-wide Nitroball tournament at the conclusion of the PE unit during study hall. Individual classes competed each period to see which teams qualified for the school-wide tournament (qualified teams pictured below). Nitroball, an inverted version of volleyball with unique rules similar to 4 square, is a highly anticipated unit that is a student favorite! Congratulations to this year's 25-26 MMS Nitroball Champions - Ruby M, Ryleigh F, Mila W, and Beau G!

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.

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

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