Don't forget that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 13 for Columbus Day. Enjoy the long weekend!
We are looking forward to our 1st annual "Operation Spirit Stick" activities at MMS tomorrow! Students will enjoy an obstacle course, decorate their own Homecoming shirt, and participate in some friendly competitions to get pumped up for the district Homecoming assembly! This day is made possible thanks to our Fall Raffle Fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who has already purchased a ticket to support MMS. Still need a ticket? Contact any Meridian Middle School student (or the office) by the end of the month! Go Hawks!
The MMS Student Council walked some of the route during study hall today to help clean up after yesterday's parade as a community service project. Thank you to Mrs. Moyer, Mr. & Mrs. Cutler, and Officer Matt for helping to escort the students on this beautiful afternoon!
MHS is still seeking a qualified candidate for a special education teaching position that will begin October 27!
MMS would like to introduce our new cheerleading coach! Mrs. Comerford is super excited to begin this new season of cheerleading. We are super excited to have her on board!
Please wish her luck as she kicks off her first year!

Our fall raffle fundraiser started off strong last week! Ticket sales will continue through the month of October. Extra tickets to sell can be requested each morning before school from the concession stand window. If your child does not plan to sell the assigned tickets sent home for fundraiser kick off, please return them as soon as possible so we can get them reassigned! Thank you in advance for support the fundraiser that provides so much extra for our students each year!

Meridian Proud!!
Here is a photo dump from just the past few days at our school. These are extra-curricular moments that are just fun and makes one proud to be in this community. These are your kids Hawk Nation!
We had 8 MS girls sing the National Anthem together and it was a powerfully awesome rendition that moved the whole gym.
We had 2 HS girls' basketball members ref MS girls' basketball games. What an awesome example!
We had a whole host of MS and HS students cheering on the MS basketball team.
We had several HS students dress up in camo to cheer on the VB Team. (Didn't get a picture, sorry)
Our football team and cheer team went to the elementary school this morning to give high-fives to our younger students. You know that had to brighten their day!
We had a practice time dedicated to helping the powder puff players get ready for their big game at next week's homecoming. They practiced running routes and learned some football plays from some of our football team members.
There was just a lot going on around here this week.
It would be awesome to see our community gather around our students next week to help support them during homecoming. If you are a former Meridian grad, from out of town, please consider coming back to attend our parade or any of our home events. Hope to see you here!

Our students have started the year strong by working on both math and ELA skills through personalized learning plans on IXL. Each month, the students are challenged to increase their diagnostic score by 10 points in both subjects. The data has been collected for August and September, and we are thrilled to see so many students meet or exceed that goal in both math and ELA! 97 students will receive a treat in class for meeting their goal!
Congratulations to our TOP 3 proficiency leaders on the August/September IXL Leaderboard -
Math: Kynleigh G, McKenna J, & Beau G
ELA: Natalie V, Kyleigh W, & Noah H
New this year - The class that becomes proficient in the most skills will receive the "bragging rights" IXL trophy to display in class for the month. Mrs. Houser's 1st hour 7th grade pre-algebra math class received the IXL Math Trophy (an average of 6.9 skills/student) and Mrs. Rhoades' 7th hour 6th grade literature class earned the IXL ELA Trophy (an average of 12.9 skills/student).
Way to grow!

This week's Hawk Proud SHOUT OUT goes to Elizabeth N for demonstrating helpfulness by picking up someone else's belongings. Her actions and willingness to help others, even in small moments, doesn't go unnoticed! Way to go!
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!

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!

We had 83 students get "perfect attendance" in August & September. That is 23 more students than last year at this time! These students will be treated to cookies during lunch today... just for showing up!
Daily attendance at school is so important. In fact, alarming statistics can really add up!! We will be treating students with perfect attendance each month and hope to see that attendance percentage continue to grow!

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.
