You have not seen your kids' jacket in a while? Come check out our lost and found. It is getting full. Clothes that do not get picked up will be donated. We will be cleaning it out every quarter. The students know where it is come look through it. Please come and look it is overflowing with clothes.

Clubhouse is in full swing at Meridian Elementary! Clubhouse is an opportunity for students to come play board games with their grade level peers during lunch recess while being supervised by our School Counselor, Mr. Snell. Each grade level has one day per week that is their Clubhouse day. Kinders and 2nd Graders are on Mondays, 4th and 5th Graders are on Wednesdays, and 1st and 3rd Graders are on Fridays. Clubhouse is a great way for students to make new friends and practice social skills with their peers!

Having good hygiene habits involves more than just hand-washing. Teaching your kids to have a healthy hygiene routine when they’re young can create habits that last throughout their lives. We are also entering cold and flu season so its extra important to follow good hygiene habits.

• Have your student(s) wash their hands as soon as they get home
• wash hair two or three times per week
  
• Bath or shower daily
• Use a washcloth and soap to wash
• Brush teeth twice a day
• Wash hands before and after meals

Parents, please make sure your student is coming to school with jacket or warm clothes. It is really cold in the mornings, and afternoons are not warming up as much. We are seeing many students outside that are too cold to play. If you need assistance getting warm clothes check in with our community school.

Did you know that Fridays are spirit days? This is your chance to wear spirit wear like school t-shirts or school colors. Our colors are blue and yellow. Let's show our trailblazer pride.

Our district has partnered with tutor.com. This is a free online tutoring service offered by the district for students in grades 3-12. This service has individualized help for tutoring and homework. Visit the districts website for more information.
