Our 4th and 5th grade LEGO Robotics team is doing a Penny Drive fundraiser to raise money in support of their community project.

Merrill's Health Resource Advocate was able to spend a couple of hours at our middle school last week and commented how awesome it was! She said our students were very polite & they are crushing the BWell program. Ms. Robinson has been an integral part of getting it up and running in Merrill.
We wanted to recognize for several students for their outstanding participation in the StepUp & BWell program for the month of September.
The top 3 Merrill movers for September were.:
Lexi Monk, Seth McFadden, and Jacob Matilla-Gonzalez and we wanted to recognize the entire 6th, 7th, and8th grade girls weight training class!
Congratulations to everyone on a job well done!

Hello from your local art teacher, asking for your trash again!
6th grade is collecting clear plastic water bottles from now until Oct. 9th. We are hoping to collect around 200. If you are a bottled water drinker, we would love to recycle those bottles for you!
I am also still collecting T-shirts if anyone still has some lying around.
Thank you!
Mrs. Good
