There was a misprint on the April calendar — the Senior CPR class will be this Friday, NOT Thursday!

North Mercer Track & Field Day Shirts are now available to order!

Students do NOT need to order a shirt — one shirt for each student has already been purchased and will be provided to them.

This order form is for parents, grandparents, siblings, or any community members who would like a North Mercer Track & Field Day shirt.

Order forms are due by April 10.

Our littlest Cardinals are ready to play! 🏀
Come out and support our Preschool–3rd grade students at the Diaper Derby on April 10th. It’s always a fun night you won’t want to miss!

Just a reminder that there will be no school this Friday in observance of Good Friday and no school on Monday due to Teacher In-Service. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and we look forward to seeing our students back on Tuesday refreshed and ready to go!

Hello North Mercer Families!!! Our annual Book Blast has begun, and once again we're excited to partner with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program to grow our students' home libraries and encourage more reading over screen time! Tonight, we're asking you to take 7 minutes to support your Student Home Library initiative.

Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative.

Get started here: https://app.booksarefun.com/NMercerSch64661

How it works:

Click the link and register your student(s).
Invite at least 10 friends or family to support your student(s). (Info is secure and only used for this program.)

Win a trip to Disney!

Each supporter who clicks your student's link earns an entry for a chance to win a Disney trip. More clicks = more entries! For example, if five different people click the link, your family gets five entries into the drawing!
Pro Tip: After sending invitations, follow up with a phone call to make sure they received the message.
Why I love this program:

Every student gets new, age-appropriate books.
100% of contributions go to books and classroom supplies.
Takes less than 10 minutes and NO financial requirement from you.
Check out the attached book list—it's amazing!
More books at home = more reading! We're aiming for 100% participation this year!! See Book Blast in action at Fulton Elementary: Fulton Elementary News Clip Thank you for helping our school and community.
