🌟 Happy School Custodian Day! 🌟 Today, we take a moment to celebrate the unsung heroes of our school district—our amazing custodians! Their hard work, dedication, and attention to detail keep our classrooms, hallways, and common areas clean and safe. From early mornings to late evenings, you ensure that our school environment is welcoming for both students and staff. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, your friendly smiles, and for going above and beyond every day! #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride

Our 4th graders had a fantastic field trip to Oakley, organized by the Mid Michigan Old Gas Tractor Association. The trip aimed to teach students about life in the past. Throughout the day, they explored 24 different stations, learning about the tools, skills, and methods that rural families used to secure food, clothing, and shelter in the early 20th century. It was an exciting way for them to connect with history and understand how people lived back then! #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride
