Message from Tiffany Fiting:
OUR LADY VANDALS ARE HEADING TO STATES!! They hit districts and regionals by storm 🌪️We couldn't have made it this far without a great school and community behind us! But we are looking for help from our community once more.
#1 We are having a parade!! Friday at 11 am we will be having a send-off parade for our ladies. The map is pictured below. We ask you to line the streets of the parade route to show these girls just how much support our great town has for them! We will start at the school high school parking lot and end at Greta's parking lot.
#2 - Help us paint the town orange and black!! Wednesday between 9-11 am we will be on the parade route hanging decorations and painting windows. If you are on the parade route and would like your windows painted please comment here or text/call Coach Fiting at 989-326-3261.
#3 - Can't make it to the State finals to cheer the girls on? No problem!! We are collecting well wishes from community members and businesses. We will be compiling all of them and making booklets for the girls to open on Thursday night. It will be another great way to show how much community support their truly is. Letters of encouragement can be sent to Coach Fiting at hhkitchens48614@gmail.com or via Facebook Messenger.
A wise man (Tom Mayan Sr. ) Once said; "Without a great school, we cannot have a great community. And without a great community, we cannot have a great school! Merrill is blessed with both! Thank you for all the support for a Lady Vandals Competitive Cheer Team!


The Middle School and High School are getting Ready for March is Reading Month! Please consider supporting our Book Exchange.
