Counselors Corner: Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Our students this week have been busy spreading kindness. Students have been asked to write kind notes. They can choose to leave them around the campus or put them on our bulletin board in the Flag Hallway. It has been wonderful to see the random acts of kindness spread throughout the Middle School Campus.

The month culminates with Meridian hosting a speaker from NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) for parents and guardians called, "Let's Talk," via Zoom webinar tonight at 6 pm.

Donate now to our Meridian Annual Fund

The Meridian Annual Fund officially kicked off this week! You can help us reach our goal of $300,000 and make a donation or pledge today. Your donation of any size adds up – it's the power of all of our families participating that makes this so successful!

PS. Did you know you can give monthly? A recurring payment of $21 per month adds up to $252 in a year!

Annual Fund donations go toward student-centric needs, like new computers, library upgrades, and the new rain garden that will mitigate flooding in the primary building.

It's your chance to make an immediate impact on your child's education!
