May Newsletter
A Note From Our Principal
April was a busy month! We had such a wonderful time celebrating Week of the Young Child and Earth Day! Our students learned all about the lifecycle of ladybugs and ways to keep the Earth clean. As we move into May, we are looking forward to celebrating our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week and planning for a fun-filled summer.
Sincerely,
Darice Johnson
Teacher Appreciation Week
Please join us in celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week (May 2-6). Our enthusiastic and caring teachers make learning fun every day for our students.
In addition to the fun activities going on in our schools for Teacher Appreciation Week, we’d love if you would help us celebrate our teachers by thanking them with an online review. Keep an eye out for an email from us on how to do so!

Bring Out Your Child’s Best This Summer
This summer is your child’s time to shine, and we are here to help. Our counselors and specialists do what they enjoy most: inspiring campers to explore, reach for new heights, and expand their horizons. Your child will make new friends, master new skills, and engage in enriching activities – all while having fun in a safe and secure environment.
Preschool Camp
Our Links to Learning Curriculum is a year-long program, but we add in even more exciting activities and special events during the summer for campers ages 1 to 4. Themed activity blocks are sprinkled throughout each week, giving campers variety in their day. This year’s blocks include Art Adventures, Music Makers, Food Fun, Water Works, Let’s Go Garden, Messy Mixtures, and more.
Kindergarten Enrichment
Parents loved our Kindergarten Enrichment program last summer, so we are bringing it back again this year. Designed for preschool graduates starting kindergarten in the fall, we work on sharpening literacy and math skills, while also providing opportunities to practice kindergarten etiquette through authentic play and collaborative learning. Students have a blast engaging in inquiry-based, hands-on activities that build upon foundational skills, such as science and engineering.
School-Age Camp
We haven’t forgotten about school-age children. Many of our preschools also offer summer camps for students ages 5 to 12. Students jump into action as they explore science and nature, creative and performing arts, sports and games, and so much more. Our camp features a unique selection of indoor and outdoor activities and field trips that take advantage of resources in the local area. Just like our preschool camp, activity blocks add variety in the camp day.
Get ready to see your child shine! Learn more and register today at https://www.merryhillschool.com/elementary/san-jose/milpitas. We can’t wait to see you soon.
