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
