Anna Merritt
February 2020 Newsletter
Dear Parents / Guardians,
The Anna Merritt Kindness Club just completed a successful campaign raising donations to help animals impacted by the Australian Wildfires. Members motivated our Anna Merritt Community through morning announcements and video announcements. The Kindness Club asked every Anna Merritt student, teacher, and staff member to make a $1.00 donation during the week of January 27th. Totals are currently being calculated! We will make our big monetary reveal on Friday, February 14th! The Kindness Club has chosen to donate all proceeds to WIRES (Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Services, Inc), a reputable Australian organization committed to helping animals in Australia. Thank you to all our Anna Merritt Families that contributed to our campaign!
We will be having a 3rd and 4th grade musical this June. Look for more information about auditions coming soon.
Happy Valentine's Day on February 14!

One of the most important things you can do to prevent getting sick is to wash your hands. Make sure to wash your hands regularly and especially after using the bathroom and before eating. Coughing on the inside of your elbow instead of on your hands also helps prevent the spread of germs.
