Dear Parents,
WELCOME BACK TO A NEW YEAR – 2017! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season! On behalf of the entire Merryhill School staff, Ms. Shirley and I would like to extend a special thank you to our families for your heartfelt holiday wishes and lovely gifts! Your thoughtfulness and generosity are much appreciated.
Our Share the Warmth Blanket Drive was a success! We collected and donated 106 blankets for local families in need through local mattress retailer Sleep Experts’ Share the Warmth campaign, which benefits CitySquare. Students from Merryhill Preschool’s after school program visited Sleep Experts to deliver the blankets, which will help local families sleep warm this winter. CitySquare’s mission is to fight the causes and effects of poverty through service, advocacy and friendship.
Now that the holidays are behind us, teachers will place strict focus on preparing their students for what lies ahead. Utilizing student observation records and assessments as a guide, teachers will hone in on each of their student’s individual needs and provide varied learning experiences, which will strengthen and challenge cognitive, social and emotional growth. Our goal is to ensure each child is confident in his or her ability and prepared with the necessary tools for a successful start in the next level of education.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Angel Ahlbrandt, Principal
Shirley Gent, Assistant Principal
