Coach Alaniz’s Senior Government class was asked to choose a famous person to write a letter to. Senior Melody Garcia chose Adam Sandler. Students were tasked with asking how their chosen person became successful and if they could go back to being 18 years old in high school, what advice they would give for life.”
While Mel didn’t receive a letter back, she did receive a autograph postcard from Adam Sandler in the mail! What an exciting and memorable surprise for her and a great reminder to take chances—you never know what might happen! 🎬✨

🌟 Meadow ISD Bronco Trailblazers! 🌟
This award recognizes students who go above and beyond — hardworking, respectful, and well-rounded role models on campus. Meadow teachers nominate students who are doing great things and showing what it means to be a GREAT BRONCO every day! 💜💛
🎉 Bronco Trailblazers:
Cyrus Garcia goes above and beyond as a manager for the varsity basketball team, always making sure the players and coaches are taken care of. He’s also a great student that always has a smile on his face. He’s also deserves to be recognized for his great work ethic and character as a person.
I am honored to nominate Melanie Calhoun for the Bronco Trailblazers award. I have known Melanie for several years, and throughout that time she has consistently maintained a positive attitude and strong work ethic. In class, she has often been my voice of reason—thoughtful, dependable, and always willing to support others. This semester, Melanie has truly stepped into a leadership role. She serves as an editor for the Bronco Roundup newsletter and has taken initiative by photographing games on the basketball court, helping showcase school spirit and student achievement. Her dedication and professionalism set her apart as a role model for her peers. Melanie is a student all others should strive to be like. She has clear goals and is already working toward them, with plans to attend Texas A&M University in the Fall of 2027. As a junior, she balances academics, leadership, and extracurricular responsibilities with grace, making even the busiest schedule look effortless. I am incredibly proud of Melanie and all she has accomplished. She embodies the qualities of determination, leadership, and positivity—she is truly the definition of a Bronco Trailblazers.
👏 Congratulations, Trailblazers! Keep shining and inspiring others every day!
A special Thank You to Bahama Bucks for donating incentives to our Bronco Trailblazer award! ✨

The first drop-off of the year can feel heavier than anticipated.
Coming off Christmas Break, with so many things happening around us, and after weeks of closeness, changed routines, and shared comfort, that separation can hit hard — for both children and parents.
This isn’t a setback or failure; it’s simply the nervous system readjusting to new demands.
We can’t wait to see all our Broncos tomorrow! 💜💛

🎉 This week’s Bronco Trailblazers:
Kamilah Flores has worked so hard this semester. She did amazing at her UIL competitions and has continuously grown as a student. In addition to her academic success, Kamilah works hard to make sure everyone around her has a friend and a smiling face to look for. She loves to include those around her and is always offering up a kind word!
Hannah Houchin is leading our school in AR. She sets goals for herself and works diligently to achieve them. Recently, she set the goal of 100 AR points before Christmas. This morning, Dec. 15, she officially surpassed 100. Just this quarter, she read 18 books, 730,205 words and earned 62 points! This is a tremendous achievement.
I believe that showing respect and kindness through actions—not just words—is an excellent reason to nominate Azakai Villegas. It begins with the small things that eventually grow into greater leadership for the future. Azakai consistently demonstrates respect and kindness to both peers and adults, which is a wonderful foundation for leadership. He spreads kindness wherever he goes and contributes thoughtful ideas during teamwork.
Great work, Azakai.
Erik Gonzalez is very studious. He is a leader by showing a commitment to getting his work completed in an efficient and accurate manner. Anytime he is asked to make changes, or even start over, he does it without complaint. He genuinely wants to show his best in all he sets out to accomplish.
👏 Congratulations, Trailblazers! Keep shining and inspiring others every day!
