MVP PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Hello Merit Families! I have met so many wonderful parents at Merit while taking on the role of Merit Volunteer Parent (MVP) president. Thank you to all who have sacrificed your time, resources, and talents to support all the special things we do at Merit. I love the values of Merit: Lead. Learn. Serve. Teaching our children the importance of service is vital to each of our children living a happy life. As parents, it is most often best to lead by example. In this spirit, I'm offering you all a challenge, to please serve at Merit this year. If we had all the Merit parents volunteer to help at least at one thing this year, we would be fully staffed for our volunteer needs. Again, thank you to all of you that help make Merit a special place! Hope to see you soon! Sarah Jones |
