Kids Helping Kids
Every summer our students chose an organization to help that supports children. This summer we chose the “Feed the Kiddos Organization” (Feedthekiddos.org) through the Second Harvest Food Bank because they feed children in the summer months when schools are closed. Our students raised $150 for the Second Harvest Food Bank.
We wanted to share the coverage this week for Merryhill School’s donation in the Mercury News: https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/09/24/milpitas-community-briefs-for-the-week-of-sept-25/.

Just a friendly reminder that our medication policy states that we can only administer medicine that has been prescribed by a doctor. We cannot administer over the counter medication without a doctor’s note with explicit instructions on how to administer it.
Regarding sunscreen, if you would like your child’s teacher to apply sunscreen throughout the summer months, please complete the “Sunscreen Authorization Form” located in the front office. We ask that you bring your child in their own sunscreen and apply a coat of sunscreen before they come to school. All sunscreen will be applied after nap unless noted differently by a parent.
