Ms. Ackerman's class spent some class time reading and writing yesterday. They read about a little kid named Kit who had the mumps and wasn't feeling so good!

Last week Merritt students explored tower building in STEM class with the goal of 'showing off their best apples'. Thank you to Shelton's Farm Market for the "Apple a Month" certifications for our students!





To get in the Apple Fest spirit, Ms. Coleman's first grade students did many activities with apples last week. They wrapped it up by making applesauce on Friday. 🍎🍏

September 16th is Maroon & Gold Day! GO CATS!!


We've had a few questions about why we had several police cars at Merritt this morning. Dep. McGaffigan was showing a few deputies around our building and introducing them to our staff. On days that she is at a training other deputies fill in so our kids are always safe!

September 15th is Crazy Hair Day!
