Merriam was full of a little extra joy this past Friday as students and staff showed off some imaginative looks for Wild Hat and Hair Day!  It was wonderful to see everyone join in the fun and bring so many smiles to our community.  




Thank you to all of our Merriam families who have given feedback on the AB Forward reorganization options.    Coming up this Tuesday 11/4 at 12:00pm, Peter Light will be holding a virtual meeting with Merriam Families.  Please join as your schedule allows.

The AB Forward survey is still open, and all families are strongly encouraged to complete it, even if you have provided feedback in another way.  --> Link to Survey.  

In addition to the survey, you may also submit a written comment to the Steering Committee (here), submit a comment or question to the School Committee by email (at abrsc@abschools.org), or attend an AB Forward Steering Committee Meeting or a School Committee Meeting to share a public comment.  You may find meeting information, updates on AB Forward, and more on the district's dedicated page at: https://www.abschools.org/read-the-plan. You may also view the recording of the 10.30.25 virtual community forum linked here.


I hope you and your family had a lovely weekend and have been taking time to enjoy these autumn days.   As always, please reach out if you have any questions, if you need anything, or we can help in any way.


Best,

Christina Gavin

Merriam Principal
