Mr. Bates will be collecting needed pet supplies and food items for our 4-legged friends at the Humane Society of Decatur. Items can be dropped off in his room between March 17 - 31. A flyer was sent home and emailed to students on Friday with a list of the items that are needed the most. This is a great opportunity for students to help the homeless animals of the area while also earning some Hawk Bucks! Questions can be emailed to Mr. Bates at batesm@meridianhawks.net.

A regular attendance routine is important for your child's well-being and learning. We continue to make attendance a priority by celebrating those with perfect attendance each month. In February, we had 85 students in attendance each day. We hope that flu season is almost behind us and that number can continue to grow each month this spring!!
The phone is currently still down at the middle school. If you need to get ahold of Mrs. Comerford in the meantime, please email comerfordc@meridianhawks.net or call the MHS office.
We are looking forward to having Michael DeLeon return to Macon tomorrow to educate our students on some alarming challenges kids are faced with today. We will run an assembly bell schedule to ensure students visit all of their classes before the afternoon assembly.
It takes a village to raise our kids. If you are a part of this village, we invite you to check out the guest speaker's virtual parent academy video to learn about some of these challenges - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IPZ_pNYtueKXM4VV3rnP2Im7fi_iV-Q5/view
