Fall brings us many upcoming activities, fundraisers, and special events here at Merryhill Harbour Point. We are looking forward to all Fall has to offer. It is our primary goal to provide the children with the very best educational opportunities. We love to offer fun and exciting new ways to learn and enjoy the learning process. The past couple of months we have made new friends, participated in classroom projects, celebrated Johnny Appleseed day and so much more. This month we will learn all about the importance of books, introduce new math skills, discuss weather changes, and learn about all the upcoming holidays that will be here shorty. We will also be participating in National Book month the entire month of October. Please remember as the weather turns slightly cooler, please provide a sweatshirt or light jacket for your child with their name on it.
Happy Fall! Stephanie Gill/Principal

Read for the Record-Read for the Record Day is on October 26th, 2023. This year, we are SHARING THE LOVE and reading With Lots of Love by Jenny Torres Sanchez, illustrated by André Ceolin.
Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience. It celebrates early language and social-emotional development and builds an intergenerational community through reading while raising awareness about the importance of early literacy. Participation in Read for the Record provides access to inclusive literature that fosters belonging and connection through a child’s own experiences and the experiences of others. We are joining the thousands of schools, libraries, organizations, and communities celebrating early literacy by reading the story, With Lots of Love. It is a beautiful story about family, finding ways to stay connected, and sharing love across distances.
Order yours today!
