We are thrilled to welcome our new Music Teacher & Band Director to the Merrill Community Schools family! A recent graduate of Saginaw Valley State University, Mr. Brandon Elliott has a strong belief in building positive relationships and creating an environment where students can flourish. Coming from a small town himself, Mr. Elliott understands the deep connection our band program has to the community and he is excited to continue our established traditions—and maybe even add a few new ones along the way!

*Updated Spirit Days*
Due to 9/11 falling on what was originally our "Neon/Tiedye" day for spirit week, we have ultimately decided to flip Wednesday and Thursday. Please wear your red, white, and blue tomorrow. We can't wait to see all of the amazing Neon/Tiedye colors at our school-wide assembly on the football field on Thursday!
Our kindergarten campers had a wonderful experience today! They got to do a trial run of what their first BIG day of school will be like! We are so excited to welcome our newest Vandals!
