October at Merryhill
Welcome Autumn!
Wrapping Up September
We have a full month of school under our belts. During the month of September we started clubs, PTO hosted grandparents, began taking the first of many field trips, celebrated Patriot Day, and rallied together to welcome Coach Paul back! October will be just as great! Please review this newsletter for October news and "Save the Dates".

Please Observe Parking Regulations
This is another reminder to save our handicapped parking spaces for our Merryhill families who need them. It is both unkind AND unlawful to use these spaces if you do not possess a valid placard or license plate. Stockton PD will be conducting random checks for parking violations. The minimum fine is currently $250. DO NOT USE THESE SPACES unless you can legally use them. This includes the space with the diagonal white lines, designed for vehicles with wheelchair access.
