Ms. Knapp's Kindergarten class became "Junior Engineers" on Friday! A parent volunteer, Ms. Sondra, brought in Legos for the class and the challenge was to design, build, and race custom-made cars down the ramp! The best part was the redesign phase—after every race, students headed back to the pits to tweak their creations for more speed. Everyone had a total blast!
The 100th Day of School is coming up on Thursday, February 12 (barring anymore snow days) and our Merritt Elementary students will be celebrating in style - 100 year old style!
🐾Character Trait of the Week: FORGIVENESS🐾
Forgiveness means letting go of hurt feelings or anger when someone makes a mistake or does something wrong. It’s about understanding that everyone makes mistakes and choosing to move past them with kindness.

On Friday night, we honored the 2000, 2010, and 2016 Final Four Girls Basketball teams. It was so wonderful to have Bobcat alumni in the house to celebrate their accomplishments and honor the legacy of great Bobcat basketball!
Each member of the team was also gifted a piece of the old gym floor that was replaced last year. Mr. Knapp's class took the pieces of wood and cut them into smaller pieces with the Final Four year engraved.
It was an awesome night at the Bobcat Den, and both boys and girls teams beat the Buchanan Bucks!

The Girls Basketball Cats for a Cure game a few weeks ago raised over $3,000 for Milano's Cancer Fund! The Cats for a Cure game is in its 17th year and has raised over $50k for local cancer funds. The fundraiser was started to make sure the team knew the importance of giving back to the community that supports them! Way to go, Bobcats and thank you to everyone that supported the cause!
In fourth grade's CKLA Inventor Unit this week, students were given a challenge to design an invention where they could throw trash away without leaving their seats. Students had to plan, design, build, test, and redesign their idea, if necessary. Inventions were considered successful if their design worked 75% of the time. All teams accomplished that goal! Way to go, fourth graders!
