To our Meridian CUSD 223 families,
We're very excited about our upcoming Read-A-Thon fundraiser and want to share an amazing opportunity for local businesses. If you own, manage, or know of a business that would like to support our school libraries, consider becoming a Read-A-Thon sponsor. By becoming a sponsor, a business will gain exposure to thousands of individuals who are all passionate about supporting literacy and our community.
Hurry, as there are only a limited number of digital and printed sponsorship spots available, including an exclusive Literacy Champion sponsorship. Reserve sponsorship spots today by clicking here. As always, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your support of our school community.
Warm regards,
Meridian CUSD 223 Libraries

A huge thank you to our students for their cooperation and our dedicated transportation team for their diligence, professionalism, and commitment to keeping our Cardinals safe every day—both on and off the bus! ❤️🖤
