We are incredibly grateful to State Representative Dan Howell and Community Foundation Ocoee Region Director Lisa Geren for stopping by to present a generous donation of $24,900 to Meigs North Elementary School!

Director of Schools Clint Baker and Principal Justin Jennings were honored to accept this gift, which was made possible by the Eastern Hemlock Fund. These funds will be used directly to install a much-needed awning at the bus drop-off area, ensuring our students and teachers remain dry and safe during inclement weather.

Thank you to Representative Howell and Lisa Geren for facilitating this gift and supporting our schools. What a wonderful way to kick off 2026!

Reminder: Meigs County Schools have inservice for teachers tomorrow. Students return on Tuesday. Thanks. JJ

The third grade classes proudly wrapped up their narrative writing unit by publishing their very own books. After weeks of planning, drafting, revising, and strengthening their storytelling skills, students selected their best pieces to be included in a class story. Each one is a collection of imaginative stories that showcased their hard work, creativity, and growth as writers. We celebrated them becoming published authors today!
