This summer, we're saying a heartfelt goodbye to some incredible individuals who have dedicated their careers to our students and community. After years of unwavering commitment, several beloved members of our district are retiring. From the classrooms to our administrative offices, and in every corner of our district where support and guidance were needed, their impact has been profound. We're so grateful for their passion, their tireless efforts, and the countless lives they've touched. While they'll be dearly missed, we wish them a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and new adventures! #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride

Mrs. Good's Graphic Art class participated in pancake art, creating designs on a griddle using pancake batter. Watching the students flip their pancakes and seeing their designs was an exciting experience! #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride

What an amazing and memorable day for our 1st graders! Thanks to Travis Krueger and Sue Roe, our unsung heroes, they work tirelessly behind the scenes keeping our grounds looking great and our buildings functioning smoothly. They hosted a fantastic event where every student built their own mini golf or soccer game with Home Depot kits. It was great to see the students creativity. A huge shout-out also goes to our wonderful bus drivers, Janet, Carla, and Lisa, who taught us all about bus safety and helped with the kits. #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride
