Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,
I want to address an important safety concern affecting our entire Merino community. Numerous complaints have been brought to our attention by homeowners, other parents, and staff about instances of reckless and fast driving around the school drop-off areas and surrounding streets. This behavior endangers students, staff, and everyone in the community.
We urge all drivers to exercise caution, slow down, and remain vigilant, especially near school zones. Please adhere to all traffic regulations, stop at crosswalks, and be mindful of pedestrians. By working together, we can ensure a safer environment for everyone.
Thank you for helping us prioritize the safety and well-being of our Merino community.
Mr. B

🌾🚜 Merino FFA's Unforgettable Journey to the National FFA Convention! 🌾🚜
Our members had an amazing adventure filled with unique tours, learning, and celebrations during our trip to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis! Along the way, we:
Toured Sjette Feedyard, which will eventually hold 150,000 head of cattle, featuring pens with rolled concrete – a rare sight!
Experienced the excitement of a rodeo 🤠
Explored Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City 🏈
Visited the Louisville Slugger Bat Factory to see how the iconic bats are made! 🪓
Enjoyed a day at an apple orchard, where we learned about apple growing, tasted fresh cider, and had a blast shooting apple cannons! 🍎🚀
At the convention, we connected with ag professionals at the Career Fair and Expo, attended inspiring sessions at Lucas Oil Stadium, and listened to impactful keynote speakers. A true highlight was celebrating Cooper Dewitt and Baylie Erickson as they received their prestigious American FFA Degrees with their families by their side!
Attendees included Abby Baughman, Brenda Tomas, Luke Kautz, Parker Spielmann, Tyler Everhart, Kacey Erickson, Ms. McSwain, and Mr. Everhart.
✨ FFA’s Mission: FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. ✨
