From the Principal’s Office
Dear Merryhill Families,
What a wonderful summer we had! I cannot believe that it is over already! I would like to thank all of our families for participating in all of the dress up days and family events. We are looking forward to fall and the family fun it will bring.
We are going to have a very busy September. Grandparents Day is coming up and once again we would love to have our Merryhill grandparents come and read to the students. If your family members would like to volunteer, please speak to Ms. Jande or myself. We hope all of you can make it to our Grandparents Ice Cream Social on Sept. 11th at 3:30 p.m.
This month we will also be celebrating Johnny Appleseed with great apple activities and classroom cooking projects. Thank you to the Hamilton family for the wonderful produce donation and support for our young learners! National Occupation Week is from Sept. 21st to 25th. We would love to have parent presentations each day that week. This is a 15-20 minute talk about your career and what you do at work. Please speak to Ms. Jande or myself if you are interested in presenting.
Hope you all enjoy a Stupendous September!
