2024-2025 Volunteer Opportunities

​

Merrill PTA Supports the Teachers, Staff and Students in many ways...

  • From monthly Teacher & Staff Appreciation things to Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, we support all the wonderful people who contribute to our kids’ lives, 

  • We show school spirit with Mustang Apparel.

  • The Teacher Amazon Wishlist and Parent Volunteer Helpers play important roles in supporting our teachers and staff throughout the year. 

  • Parent committee driven initiatives like Fall & Spring Community Events, share our values of community, inclusivity, love of the environment, and contribute back to our neighborhood.

  • At Trivia Night, parents have fun while raising funds for clubs, activities, and sports. The Silent Auction during Trivia Night raises funds for general PTA needs. 

  • We celebrate 8th graders with the Rising Riders Celebration, planning begins in April.

  • And we welcome new Mustangs and their families at Rising Sixth Graders Night in May.​
