New Outdoor Warning Siren being installed to replace the older siren located at Bowser Meat Processing at 513 S. Palmberg, in Meriden.

This Siren is a Model 2001-130 and will have a warning range of 1 1/2 miles and a broadcast of 120-130 DB. This will provide warnings to the football stadium and residents in the area for many years. The old siren was an ACA-Banshee with a range of 1/2 mile and was 40 to 60 years old.

Thank You to the Meriden City Council for upgrading the siren to help protect people and students.

The Celebration Assembly this morning was ROARING with fun!!! Mr. Sturgeon talked with the kids about setting and achieving big goals this year and being their Tiger BEST. The Weststeppers were able to attend and perform for our ES students. Then each grade got a shot at cheering the "WEST is BEST" chant the loudest. After a short deliberation with the Weststeppers and Mr. Sturgeon, it was determined that the 4th Grade was the loudest and won the spirit stick! To say they were VERY exited is an understatement (see photo!). What a fun way to start a Friday!

P.S. - Jr. Weststeppers sign up forms are going home in bookbags tonight so be on the lookout!
