Friend of Merrill
Becoming a Friend of Merrill means donating money to support all of the things the PTA does throughout the year to enrich life at Merrill. Money raised through Friends of Merrill will go toward:
- Providing dinner at the Fall and Spring Community Nights
- Teacher Appreciation initiatives year-round
- Supporting a special experience/ field trip for each grade level
- A celebration for our 8th graders at the end of their time at Merrill
- Books for the library
- A t-shirt for every incoming 6th grader
- Other needs as identified
All of this is only possible with the financial support of our community, and any donation amount is appreciated!

Box Tops for Education
Download the new Box Tops app, shop as you normally do, then scan your store receipts to find participating products. The app will automatically credit your school’s Box Tops earnings online. Then twice a year, Merrill will receive a check and can use that cash to buy whatever it needs.
