We're thrilled to share some exciting news! Thanks to the generous support of our PTO, we've purchased locker magnets to honor our monthly role models. Starting this month, these magnets will proudly adorn the lockers of our outstanding students selected as Mustang role models. Teachers select students who consistently embody positive school behaviors, follow school-wide expectations, and demonstrate qualities of being safe, kind, responsible, and respectful. This program celebrates the outstanding efforts of our students in creating a positive learning environment. One of Meridian Elementary's ways of recognizing and applauding these exemplary Mustangs throughout the year!
A big thank you to everyone who contributes to making our school a positive and supportive environment. Let's continue celebrating and encouraging the fantastic achievements of our students!
