Welcome to the 3rd Merrill Middle School Annual Giving Campaign!

Just like the campaigns you’re used to in elementary school, the Merrill Middle School Annual Giving Campaign raises funds from Merrill families and the local community in order to support Merrill’s programming, update our classrooms, and provide enrichment and academic support that falls outside the standard district budget.  

Last year's campaign was our most successful yet! Your support has funded (or will fund) new newline boards for every classroom, seat cushions and fidget bands for our students, 6th grade science tables, STEM enrichment, community events and departmental support.

Our goal this year is to raise $70,000!

Your support will help fund:

• Refurnishing classrooms, flexible spaces and improving outside areas.  Continuing our multi-year project of updating our students' learning environment, your support will go to alternative desks and seating for each of Merrill's 34 classrooms and science tables for the 7th and 8th grade classrooms next year!  We also hope to add more shade trees and a permanent shade structure to create more outside learning areas.
• Departmental Resource Support. Instruments for band kids in need, Spanish games and apps, sports team gear and uniforms, support for enrichment class offerings, additional math resources, classroom supplies. These are all examples of items that are not covered by the district, but that contribute to a more dynamic, engaging, fun learning experience. 
• Learning Experiences and Community Engagement.  Think field trips to art museums, musical concerts, guest speakers, cultural celebrations and experiences, as well as family picnics, Color Runs, student socials and more! These are the events that open minds, bring our community together and give heart and soul to Merrill.  All is made possible with your support!

Please give!  We ask that you give as generously as you can until December 17th (before winter break)! Together, we can reach our goal!
