Here is a newsletter from Ms. Banks. Have a great summer.

It has been a fun filled week at Merrill Park! First and foremost we want to give a H U G E Husky shout out to the Bridge the Gap program and Tia's Soul for providing food, activities and entertainment between our lower and upper elementary field day. The kids loved dancing with their teachers, hoopin' it with the Officers Bady, blowing bubbles, and getting wagon rides. We appreciate the food and fun!

Merrill Park Field Day is tomorrow, Friday!

Merrill Park PreK Celebration is tomorrow. Students need to arrive by 9:30.

Monday and Tuesday were extremely exciting days in the 3rd grade Kato Crew classroom. They have been researching and learning info about chickens and ducks. The class has been waiting 28 days for the ducks and 21 days for the chicks to hatch. During this time the students became experts in animals that lay eggs, life cycles, and egg anatomy through egg dissection. As they watched the eggs hatch live, they learned about basic care and handling of the baby chicks. They are excited give each chick a name, take care of them and share them with the rest of the school. Currently they have 7 chicks that have hatched so far. The Kato crew is still waiting and hopeful their duck eggs with hatch soon.
