We LOVE MECCA! Mrs. Powers' class enjoyed their celebratory hike at MECCA as students gathered to thank instructors and volunteers for providing cross-country ski lessons this winter. We are so lucky to have these resources and community connections at Mercer School! #SmallSchoolBigOpportunities

ADJOURNMENT
The weather was a bit slippery for beginning cross-country skiers, but that didn't prevent the 2-4 grade students from having a great time at MECCA. Thanks to Mrs. Syverson, Mrs. Powers, and the fantastic instructors and volunteers through MECCA and ICORE that ensured students had an enjoyable and educational experience walking the trails at MECCA and learning about this vital ecosystem.
The Mercer Senior Class of 2025 is having a Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser starting March 4th to raise money for their trip to South Padre Island, TX!
For this fundraiser, people can donate to have a group of pink plastic flamingos placed on someone else's lawn as a surprise, essentially "flocking" their yard. Those who have been “flocked” will then have the option to "flock" a new yard (within Iron County) by donating. Flamingos are moved each week on Tuesdays until Graduation. If you are “flocked” you will receive a flyer from the seniors giving you further information and instructions!
