For two weeks in June, Meridian Junior High hosted summer school where students focused on strengthening their skills in math, reading, and writing. In addition to those subjects, students had the opportunity to choose an elective, and several selected fishing with Mrs. Hoefle and Mr. Wissinger!
As part of their hands-on learning, the fishing elective students took a field trip to the Rochelle Wildlife Conservation Club. There, they learned about conservation, responsible fishing practices, and aquatic ecosystems from representatives of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), as well as current and former members of the SVHS Bass Fishing Team. Thank you to the Rochelle Wildlife Conservation Club, Levi C. and Bryce F. from the SVHS Bass Fishing team, Mrs. Hoefle, and Mr. Wissinger!
🎉 Huge congrats to Kennedy C.! 🎉
She placed 5th in the 200m dash at the IESA State Track Meet today with an impressive time of 27.54 seconds ⏱️ — and broke the school record she set just last week! 🔥🏃♀️💨
We’re so proud of you, Kennedy! Your hard work and determination are inspiring! 💪💙

We are using the last day of the school year to celebrate these students. I wish all of our 5th graders best wishes for a great summer and their entrance into Junior High. We had so much fun today with their class photo, surprising them with a building-wide clap out, making water balloons, sharpening their baseball arm with Mrs. Simpson and staff, and having some fun outside together. A day full of awards, celebrations, and a ton of laughter .

Meridian Jr. High Student Council Rocks Leadership Retreat!
In May, the Meridian Jr. High Student Council embarked on an unforgettable Leadership Retreat in Glen Haven, WI at the beautiful Log Cabin Retreat! The weekend was packed with team-building challenges, leadership activities, food prep, hiking, fishing, time with chickens, and plenty of fun and laughter along the way.
Our 8th-grade members took their leadership to the next level by completing a book study on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Each student led a chapter discussion and planned a hands-on activity to bring their habit to life.
We are incredibly proud of the growth, teamwork, and enthusiasm these students have shown throughout the year. This retreat was the perfect way to celebrate their hard work and leadership journey!

Thank you to all of those who made Monroe Center's Leadership Day a huge success. Our students did a fantastic job giving tours, enjoying dodgeball with their families, sharing their incredible leadership abilities, and simply being the incredible individuals we know they can be every day! The leadership they exhibited today made us all very proud. Enjoy a few of the many photos taken today. We're so appreciative of all those able to attend today. You made our event the best it's ever been!
