Excellent group of parents, educators, board members, municipalities, and students came together and spent their weekend strategic planning for the district. We examined strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the district to identify what the next steps for #223 will be. Thank you to everyone who participated and for continuing the conversation.

Fifth graders just wrapped up their ocean unit and turned their entire hallway into an aquarium with all their writing, research, and creativity in the writing process. Well done 5th graders! Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us next!

Family game night was a hit at Monroe Center this week. Families and staff family came together to enjoy all different kinds of board games along with an ice cream social, and of course we wrapped up the evening with a trivia game. Thank you to all of those that helped in the planning and preparation, those who donated for the delicious treats, and of course to all the families who attended!

Mr. Jaxon was an incredible Principal for the Day! He worked with Mrs. Simpson, Officer Aaron, students, and many staff. He helped with supervision, took notes throughout the day, and did rounds with Mrs. Simpson and Officer Kingham. Luckily, he gave great feedback regarding the staff and students during our wrap up meeting at the end of the day. Thank you to the Elementary PTO for this wonderful opportunity. It was an honor to work with this young man all day!

It was a great day for this young lady this weekend. She received 1st place and had two pins on the mat. Way to go, Julia. We had several others from Monroe Center who also won 1st place in their weight divisions. Feel free to share here or if there is a group picture, we can post. Congratulations to all of those students.

Meridian CUSD 223’s Monroe Center School Library has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading, and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.

Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday, March 2, 2026.

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts, we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you can view and record their progress.

We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323332323936/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.

We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read, and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.

We hope EVERYONE participates.

Thanks so much,

Meridian CUSD 223 Libraries
