The Meridian Public School District is hosting a Parent University from 4-7 p.m., Thursday, March 21, at Uptown Meridian.

“The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for parents to have access to community resources that can benefit their families,” said Adrian Phillips, parent and community engagement specialist for Meridian Public School District. “We want our parents to know that MPSD is invested in their families, and we work together as a team to ensure their children are successful.”

The event will feature information about the Leader In Me program, student performances, cooking demonstrations, a personal finance workshop, fitness demonstrations, community resources and information on all MPSD schools.

During the event, the district will also celebrate the Meridian High School boy’s basketball team, winners of the 2024 MHSAA Class 7A state championship.

Parent University is free and will take place at the end of the mall by the Pretzel Twister and children’s play area near Belk. The event is open to all MPSD families and the community.

Uptown Meridian is located at 1210 Bonita Lakes Circle in Meridian. For more information about Parent University, contact Phillips at 601-484-5557.
