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!

The Meridian School District would like to thank Blackland Transport and Kraft Family Grain for sponsoring our September athletic attendance event drawing. We also want to thank all students (and the rest of Hawk Nation) who showed support this month.
Students who attended any Meridian home game had an opportunity to write their name on a ticket and turn it in for a chance to win at the end of September. Every game attended meant more chances.
We were able to draw 4 winners from each school. Each winner won a $25 Amazon gift card.
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.
