Our food service staff started a four day scratch cooking training today with the Sustainable Food Institute. They did a phenomenal job with the first day's menu! Spaghetti with scratch made meat sauce, house made alfredo, roasted zucchini and green beans, fruit, salad with house made dressings, and a peach crisp that was to die for. As we are rolling this out, our goal is to transition from frozen heat and serve foods to locally sourced scratch made fresh foods.
Below is a message from Coach Johnson in regards to MS Softball.

As girls middle school basketball summer sessions come to a close, the excitement builds for our upcoming season. With an average of 17 girls per session, the girls worked hard to refine skills and build team chemistry. Great work girls! Meridian girls basketball has a bright future!

With the retirement of Greg Streeval, MHS has a coaching opportunity for next year.
Hawk Nation,
As we continue through the Summer, please be mindful of scheduling your sports physicals.
If you are still in need of a physical, the next walk-in opportunity will be held at CAM HS on July 14th from 2:00–4:00 PM.
Reminder: Sports physicals are valid for most middle school and high school students. However, students entering 6th grade and students entering their Freshman year must have a school physical completed through their primary healthcare provider.
Please plan accordingly as we get closer to the start of the fall season.
Go Hawks!

With last night's devastating event, I can't say enough about this community! In less than 24 hours, we were able to clean up a large portion of the debris outside and the water inside. Damage to the school is significant, but efforts are currently underway to make the building water tight so there is no further damage. Moving forward we are working with the architect and insurance company to determine the scope of work that will be necessary to bring back all of the building systems that have been affected. Once we have the full scope of work required, we will be able to plan for what the start of the school year looks like. Meridian (and surrounding communities) thank you for your help with this devastating event.
MESSAGE FOR TOMORROW (THURSDAY, JUNE 18TH).
Here is a message from the MS girls basketball coaching staff about tonight's open gym.

Our Hawks worked hard and finished the year strong. Congratulations to all of the students who made the Academic Honors listing for 4th quarter!
Well...the incredible ride of this softball season has come to an end.
Tonight, our girls battled in a hard-fought game, falling 2-0 to a very talented Gardner team. At this stage of the postseason, every opponent is strong, and our girls proved they belong among them.
To our players, thank you for the unforgettable moments this season. Your competitive spirit helped shape and strengthen the Meridian softball culture. You have set a new standard of excellence by accomplishing something no previous softball team has done, winning a sectional and advancing to the Super-Sectional. Future Meridian players were watching, and they will remember this run.
Hawk Nation, thank you for showing up in full force. Your support throughout the postseason, and especially tonight, brought incredible energy, pride, and unity to our community.
Coach Streeval, thank you for everything you have given to Meridian softball. Over 28 years, you have taught us that determination, preparation, and consistency are the foundations of success. More importantly, you have built a program and culture that will last well beyond your time on the field. We are grateful for the impact you have made and will continue striving to uphold the standard you have set.
Enjoy your retirement, Coach. You have earned it and Meridian is better because of you.
The standard has been raised AND the future is bright!
It's a great day to be a Hawk!
