Alumni Recognition Day: Have you RSVP'd?

Last chance to register before the semester ends! This is the week we return to campus.
Every year, Meridian hosts an Alumni Recognition Day where Meridian alumni return to campus for visits to the high school classrooms, focus groups with current Meridian parents and guardians, and lunch with their former teachers. It is always one of our favorite events of the year!

Important Safety Reminder
When dropping off your students in carline, wait to pull out until ALL students being let out of their cars cross to the school's sidewalk (and, of course, for the vehicle in front of you to begin driving).
Do not immediately pull into the middle between the two lanes. There is no middle lane. This creates a very dangerous situation for our students.
Instead, take two to three deep breaths and enjoy a minute of quiet before the lanes move.

Choir Opportunity
Songs: "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and "It's Time"
For the second year in a row, Meridian students (grades 1-12), staff, and alumni have the opportunity to join a choir in celebration of Black History Month.
This year, the choir will perform two songs live in late February. "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and composed by his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, in 1905. "It's Time" was released in 1990 by The Winans, an American gospel quartet from Detroit, Michigan.
All Meridian students in grades 1-12, staff, and alumni are invited to participate. Submit one interest form per person. The choir is led by Sal Stow and Monique Swain. Sign up by Jan. 10.
