🍎🥪 Lunchtime Tip! 🥪🍎

Students who have their Student ID# memorized help keep the lunch line moving, giving everyone more time to enjoy their meal and get back to learning. 🍽️📚 MISD Families, practicing at home is a helpful way to support your child’s school day! 🐾✨ #StrongerTogether

From Jenga and board games to Uno and video games, our Mercedes High School Tigers are finding ways to connect, collaborate, and have fun during their lunch break, cell phone-free. 🌟

With purposeful activities in place by campus administrators, students are engaged, strengthening peer connections, and returning to class refreshed and ready to learn. Because at Mercedes ISD, we are #StrongerTogether. 🐾📚 #MISDpride
