MJH Quiz News: We finished up a GREAT Quiz Bowl Season Thursday night at the League Championship Meet in Protection (South Central). The JV squad finished the evening with a (10-2) record tied for first place with Spearville. Since we won over them in head-to-head competition, we took 1st place overall out of 12 teams! The Varsity team met up with some tough competition and finished the evening with a (7-5) record. Four of the 5 matches were decided by only one question! It was definitely someone else's night. This very same Buffalo team placed 1st in Minneola one week earlier against the same 12 league teams! The determination, teamwork, and talent was something to admire in these five as they finished with a run of four wins. It has been a wonderful privilege to work with all 15 quizzers this year. I so look forward to next season already! (submitted by Coach Gleason)

What a great start to our MHS tennis season! The team took 2nd place at the Liberal meet. Korben - 1st in 1S Vincent - 2nd in 2S Konner and Brian - 3rd in 1D Orvin and Zach - 1st in 2D Caleb and Kody - 2nd in 2D Way to work! #WeR226 #MeadeBuffaloes #MHSTennis

+++++Meade Gating Task Force Weekly Update+++++ The Task Force has recommended changes to the mask requirement based on the fact that Meade has had low or no active cases for two weeks and after looking at other data and information.
