Reading Month Continues...............
Spring parties / Egg hunts
All students will participate in egg hunts and parties next Thursday, April 18th. Please sign up for a food item for the party and send your child with 12 filled plastic eggs. Please make sure that any candy items in the eggs are individually wrapped and do not contain nuts, and please tape each egg closed. The specific time of the hunt is noted on your child's classroom door with the party sign up sheet.
Ribbon Cutting
We will host a light brunch for any guests that are here, immediately following the ribbon cutting. Thank you for supporting our school.

ERB Standardized Testing
April 15-17: Kindergarten and 1st Grade testing
April 22-25: 2nd-6th Grade testing
We will ask any Pre-Kindergarten students arriving after 8:15 on testing days to enter the preschool, where they will remain until after each day's testing session is over. Any elementary students arriving late will be kept in the office until the testing session is complete. It is critical that we keep our hallways completely quiet during the testing.
Referral Program
As a reminder, when you refer a family, you earn a free week of tuition for one child after the new student has been enrolled for 3 months!! In addition, we will be doing a raffle drawing from all of our family referrals between March 15th and April 15th for great Merryhill gear and prizes, as well as a $50 Chili's gift card! We will announce our winner on April 15th!
