📢 Preschool Registration & Early Childhood Screenings! 🎒✨
Exciting opportunities for our youngest learners! 📚 Register your child for preschool and schedule an early childhood screening. Give them a strong start on their learning journey!
📚✨ Exciting School-Wide Reading Event! ✨📚
Our school is about to take part in a special community-wide shared reading event, and we can’t wait for your family to join us! 🎉
Every family will receive a copy of the same book and will be encouraged to read it together at home over the next few weeks. Reading aloud at home is a powerful way to support your child’s literacy skills and foster a love for books! ❤️
📖 Here’s what to expect:
✅ Your child will have the chance to answer fun trivia questions to encourage attentive listening.
✅ In class, students will engage in activities and discussions to dive deeper into the story.
✅ Most importantly, you’ll create cherished reading moments as a family!
With your support, we can build a strong community of readers at our school. Let’s read together and make this an unforgettable experience! 📚✨

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
🎸🌟 January Mercer Rockstar: Mr. Martin! 🌟🎸
We are thrilled to announce that our Mercer Rockstar for January is Mr. Martin! 🎉👏
Mr. Martin was nominated by fellow staff members for his dedication, hard work, and positive impact on our school. Here’s what several staff members had to say about him:
💬"I have witnessed him multiple times go out of his way to provide for his students and even students who are not ever in his classroom. He has given money out of his own pocket anonymously to keep students from feeling left out when it comes to Valentine's treats, school supplies, lunch money, etc. There aren't many people who would do that."
💬"I have noticed how well Mr. Martin has done this year in the elementary. For someone who has only been in the elementary for one year, it doesn't show. He has gone above and beyond to learn how elementary differs from JH/HS. "
💬"The students love his class and have learned a lot. He incorporates project-based learning into his lessons and the students look forward to learning. "
💬"Earlier in the year, several students didn't have snacks for a class party they were attending. He took it upon himself to purchase snacks for each of them. I believe that shows a lot about his character and who he is as a person. "
Mr. Martin said he wanted students in the picture because: "You can't be a Rockstar teacher without Rockstar Students!"
Thank you, Mr. Martin, for going above and beyond for our students and staff. Your commitment does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate all that you do! 🎶✨
