Primary Pride Nov. 16, 2021

World Parade

The 2021 World Parade featured more than 300 students celebrating their cultures and heritage, cheered on by the entire campus!

Please enjoy this video of the parade.

Lost and Found

Our lost and found will be relocated to tables in the front lobby. Please come and claim items your child(ren) have misplaced. All items will either be donated or disposed of over Thanksgiving Break.

Scholastic Book Fair

Nov. 29–Dec. 3

The Scholastic Book Fair will be on campus the week after Thanksgiving. Students have the opportunity to preview on Monday and visit with their class for shopping on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, with open shopping on Friday. The book fair flyer coming home will have your child’s shopping day attached.

Consider setting up an e-wallet to allow your child to shop without having to bring cash to school. Teachers will also be setting up e-wallets in lieu of making wish lists. Consider contributing to your child’s teacher’s e-wallet to help them buy books for their classroom.

Want to shop with your child? We have shopping times available before school Tuesday–Friday and after school on Wednesday. Sign up to shop here. To manage the crowds in the book fair, please sign up for the number of slots equal to the number of people who will be coming with you to shop.

College shirt day Tomorrow

College shirt day is early this month because of Thanksgiving Break. We will wear our college shirts this Wednesday, November 17.

Change Your Socks … Change a Life!

Sale ends Dec. 3

Meridian is proud to partner again with We Help Two, a Texas organization that supports various efforts to make the world a better place.

We're bringing back our funky sock sales and new Meridian custom cups.

All proceeds help send students to school in Uganda. Over the past three years, we’ve been able to consistently support five students to attend school! Sales will go this week through December 3. The funky socks can be shipped directly to you or to the school (Ship to Host = free shipping) for distribution when they all arrive. The socks will arrive before winter break, but the custom cups will arrive after the holidays.

Please note: Include your child’s full name and grade in the Purchase Recipient box if choosing Ship to Host.

Theatre Performance

Save the Date! On November 30 at 6 pm and again at 7 pm the 9th Grade Theatre I classes will make theatre history!

They will perform The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). This exhibition of talent can be seen in The Meridian Black Box Theatre and is open to all. Admission is FREE. Masks are required. Let’s pack the audience and marvel at the boldness of these fine performers!
