🦅 This Week at Meyer:

It was another busy week at Meyer! We held picture retakes on Wednesday for students who needed a new photo or another opportunity to capture their smiles. Thursday marked the deadline for grades for our 2nd Progress Report. Be sure to keep an eye on Skyward next week as progress reports are uploaded and become available for families to view.

Thank you for another wonderful week, Eagle families! We hope you have a relaxing weekend! ❤️💙
