Happy Holidays! I love the Holiday Season. The laughter and expectations of the children, the smell of holiday baking, the bright lights and colorful decorations and most important a time for family gatherings. Here at Merryhill, we celebrate all the beauty of the season. The wonder of the babe in the manger, the flickering of lights in the Menorah, the “ho, ho, ho” of everyone’s favorite jolly old elf, and all the traditions that make the holidays fun, festive and special. December is full of wonderful activities for the children with hands on learning and special events throughout the month. I wish each of you a great holiday season and prosperous New Year. Thank you for being part of the “Family” here at Merryhill!
Sincerely, Stephanie Gill/Principal

Sacramento Children’s Home Donations- This Holiday Season we have partnered with the Sacramento Children’s Home to “Adopt” 5 families with the hope of making their holiday a little brighter. Starting Wednesday, December 4th we will be collecting items on the families Wish Lists and will deliver them to the Sacramento Children’s Home on Friday, December 13th. On our Holiday Giving Wall you will find 5 trees with ornaments representing what is on the families wish list. If you are able, please take an ornament tag and bring the item to the school – a collection box will be placed up front. No need to wrap the items, but they are requesting that the items be new (not used). Please write your family’s name on the tree under the ornament tag you take.
Holiday Pajama Day- Send your children to school wearing their favorite holiday pajamas on Wednesday December 11th. We will be serving hot cocoa and candy canes for all the children on this day!
