Our elementary students added a little extra Meloneer spirit to Homecoming! ❤️💛

Before last Friday’s game, they covered the sidewalk leading to Melon Field with colorful chalk drawings and messages to cheer on our football team as they headed to the field. Take a look at their masterpieces and the students who created them!

Meloneer Pride at its best!

🍉 A Huge Shout-Out to Artist Zack Gardner! 🍉

We’d like to give a huge shout-out to local artist Zack Gardner for transforming a tree stump on our campus into our beloved mascot, Melon Man!

What was once an ordinary tree stump is now a special piece of Meloneer pride that our students can enjoy for years to come!

Pictured are a few of our kindergarten students with Zack Gardner and Melon Man. We are so grateful for the creativity and talent that went into bringing our mascot to life! ❤️💛
