Although I didn't get to speak with all of you, it sure was great to see all of you back at school for Open House. I was really excited to see our kids. They are the reason we do what we do every day, and we thank you for sharing them with us. School starts on Tuesday morning and we are ready to have the kids back. Here's to a great 2019-2020 school year!

In order to try to introduce our staff to you, we have shared a little bit about ourselves in 30-second increments in the flipgrid video found below. This will also be a link on my webpage and will be shared again next week as well as the first week of school. If the link below doesn't work for you, please click on this link.

Welcome back 5th-8th grade students! Merton Student Senate is looking for enthusiastic leaders to join our ranks this year.

Our first meeting will be Friday morning September 6that 8:10AM in Mrs. Niemczyk's room on the second floor of the Intermediate School. Please contact Mrs Niemczyk or Mrs Krajewski if you have questions.

7th and 8th grade students are invited to the first all area 7th and 8th grade dance at Merton Intermediate School on Friday, September 20th from 7:00-9:00PM. Admission is $5 at the door. We will have a DJ and concessions will be available for purchase. We hope to see you there!

Looking for a lifetime activity for your child? Check out the opportunity that Sussex Bowl is offering coming up in September in the flyer below.

The last couple of weeks I shared an article that I had found on Twitter. This week I am sharing an article that I found in The Washington Post that speaks to helping students smoothly transition to middle school. Here is the link. I promise to do my best to share articles like this with you throughout the school year.

Please see the flyer below. The family meeting occurred in May, but the rest of the information is correct. Contact information for Mr. Werni is included in the flyer in case you have questions.

If you are a 5th-8th grade girl interested in playing 3 on 3 basketball this fall, this opportunity is for you. Please check this link for further information from Coach Witte from Arrowhead High School. Please contact me if you have any questions.
