A Message From the Principal:
Dear Parents,
We are having a great time this summer at Merryhill School – Keller!
Please check our July Activity Calendar for all the amazing activities we have planned (click on link below). Our “In-House Field Trips” have been a blast this summer! This month our classes will get to experience going to a “Drive In Movie”, attending a Super Hero Camp, and exploring the Rainforest! Hope you get a chance to go on these fantastic journeys with us throughout the summer. Above and beyond fun summer plans, our Links to Learning curriculum will continue to offer skill based lessons that are unique, age-appropriate and brought to life in fun imaginative ways.
