Final Culver's Night of the school year!

Wednesday, June 5th is our final Culver's Night of the school year. This is a fundraiser for our wonderful Merton PTO who gets a percentage of the receipts from 4:00 until 8:00. You might even be served by some of our very own Merton staff. I hope to see you there!

Merton Theater Company Camp

Hello Future Campers!

If you are looking for a fun way to explore theater with your friends this summer, this is the camp for you! Throughout the 2 weeks of Merton Theater Company Camp, students will experience all aspects of musical theater. Campers will learn songs, pick up choreography, exercise their acting skills, and participate in backstage activities such as prop creation. Any student that will be in 4th-8th grade for the 2019/20 school year is encouraged to register for theater camp!

Please see this link for additional information.

Please use this sign up form to register for camp!

Merton School is excited to welcome an all-new Camp Invention® program, Supercharged, (July 29 – Aug. 2) where children transform their wild imaginations into epic creations. As part of Summer School the cost of the program is $40 for the week. Campers in grades K-6 will code robots and use collaboration and creative problem solving during hands-on, STEM activities. We are also looking for Counselors in Training (7th & 8th graders) to participate in our program. Register by calling Camp Invention directly at (800) 968-4332. This is a great week each summer! Hope to see you there.
