Dear Merrill Community School District Families,

                                                                 Thank you!
We recognized our cafeteria staff at our regular board of

education meeting on Wednesday night. It was nice to have

them and their families there to acknowledge their impact on

our District and community. Our food services department

really stepped up to become our hunger heroes throughout

the pandemic and beyond! They ensured throughout

shutdowns, summers, and shifts in modes of learning that all

children in our school and community were fed!! Thank you for

your hard work and dedication to our youth - Beth Monk, Shelly

Burdick, Cassie Mueller, Jan Miller, Cindy Hodges, Lisa Wale,

Beth Miller, Julie Colpean, Kathy Moulton, Meredith DeCaire,

and Tara LaClair! If you know these ladies please let them

know that you appreciate their hard work as well!

                                               FIREHOUSE VISITS
                                               Our Vandal students were able to go visit the
                                           Jonesfield/Lakefield fire department this week for Fire
                                         Prevention week. This has been a tradition for many years
                                        now. Students learned fire safety tips like knowing your exit
                                          routes, having a family meeting location, and they get to
                                                        experience the smoke room.
