Welcome Rising 6th Grade
ROARING INTO THE 2023 - 2024 SCHOOL YEAR
From the Principal's Desk
Welcome future Mountain Lion Families!
What an exciting time to be a Mercer Mountain Lion! My anticipation grows as we make our way into February and begin preparing all for the transition of our future Mountain Lions into 6th grade. As a parent of two LCPS students and having experienced transitions for my own children and as a classroom teacher, I fully understand the amount of questions that you may have in addition to the resources that will be beneficial in making this transition a seamless one.
This newsletter will serve as a sneak peak into preliminary dates, some remarkable staff and events that will support acclimating your student(s) to Mercer MS for the upcoming school year. Please READ CAREFULLY to ensure that you are getting all necessary information.
I look forward to meeting you all in February as we begin our partnership for the continued building of our legacy at Mercer.
Please be on the lookout for future emails as dates and events may shift.
Mrs. Diehl
Your 2023-2024 Principal
