The winning concept? A school mural! Mrs. Rippentrop and our talented 8th-grade Art students took that vision and brought it to life. We can’t wait to have this masterpiece on display for everyone to enjoy.

Today was a special day of connection and inspiration! Our Lighthouse Team at Meridian Junior High had the wonderful opportunity to visit Highland Elementary School for Drop Everything and Read Day. 📚✨
Our students loved sharing their time and stories with the younger readers, helping spark imagination and a love for books. It was incredible to see leadership, kindness, and confidence shine through.
We’re so proud of our Lighthouse Team for being role models and making a positive impact in our school community. And a big thank you to Highland Elementary for welcoming us! We can’t wait to do it again!
