🌟 Staff Spotlight: Teacher & Support Staff of the Year 🌟
Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Keiandra Stroud, and our Support Staff of the Year, Claudia Payan!

Both of these incredible educators consistently go above and beyond to support our scholars and the Meridian community.

Ms. Stroud’s 3rd Grade ELA data has consistently met and exceeded network expectations, and she has served as both the chair of the Family Engagement Committee and an unofficial mentor to many new Meridian staff members. She is a constant advocate for scholars and a leader among her peers.

Ms. Payan is truly a jack of all trades. From supporting our K–2 EB scholars with language development, to jumping in wherever needed, to creating balloon arches and decorations for every campus event—she does it all with care and excellence.

We are so grateful for the impact both of these amazing women make on our campus each and every day! 💛

Keep your scholar fueled this summer! ☀️🍎

The Texas Summer Meals program is here to keep your scholar fueled all summer break!

Free, healthy meals will be provided to children and teens ages 18 and under, as well as enrolled students with disabilities up to age 21.

Visit SummerFood.org or call 211 to find a location near you and the dates they will be serving meals.

📢 Field Day Update 📢

Due to the rainy weather, tomorrow’s Field Day (PreK - 1st grade) Field Day activities will now be moved indoors to the gym/cafe.

✅ All volunteers will report directly to Coach Key upon arrival.
🍿 VIP Concessions will be located in the main hallway near the gym/cafeteria.

Thank you for your flexibility and support as we continue to make Field Day fun and exciting for our scholars! 🎉
