The Merrill Community Schools Summer Feeding Program has been a delicious and nutritious bonus for the Merrill Community. No one has to go hungry with this program in place! Children 0-18 or persons 19-26 who are enrolled in a program for the mentally or physically disabled can eat breakfast and lunch for FREE Monday - Friday. Adults can purchase a complete breakfast for $2.00 or a complete lunch for $3.00. You do not need to be affiliated with Merrill Community Schools to participate in this program! We believe that every individual should have access to healthy and filling food to fill the hunger gap. A special shout out to Cassie Mueller who has spent her summer cooking and serving yummy meals to all who visit us at the Merrill Elementary Café for Meet Up and Eat Up! #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride

Their next match will be next Thursday against Alma/Carson City and Breckenridge at the one and only Block House of Alma.

Students have been organizing their lives with the help of 3D printing. Students brainstormed ideas of an area of need they need help with in their personal lives. The students pictured measured their school locker and other items to make a “just right” object for themselves. #designthinking #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride
