From the Principal’s Office
The month of November reminds me of all the things in my life that I am truly thankful for and for those people I hold close to my heart. At Merryhill, we feel especially thankful for our families who entrust us with their most treasured possession, their child. For that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Take time this month to tell your loved ones how very important they are to you and how much you love them.
Special thanks to our families that joined us and volunteered at our annual Trick or Trunk! The event was Spooktacular!
We will celebrate Thanksgiving with our annual Friendship Feast for our Beginners – Pre-K2 classes. This year our Pre-K2 class will hold their event on Thursday, November 15th at 11:00 am, and our Beginners – Pre-K will be on Friday, November 16th at 11:00 am. Please make sure that you mark your calendar for this very special event. Sign-up sheets will be available in your child’s classroom for potluck. And our children will be providing entertainment that you won’t want to miss.
Our Infants and Toddlers will celebrate Thanksgiving with their annual Pumpkin Pie Social on Wednesday, November 14th at 3:30 pm. We hope to see you there!
Save the evening of Tuesday, December 4th! We will have a visit from Santa! This will be your opportunity to take your holiday photo right here at Merryhill. The children will enjoy letter writing and cookie decorating.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Lisa Norris – Principal
