Please click here to view the special bell schedule for Tuesday, November 26. Enjoy a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Food Drive
The Thanksgiving Food Drive was a huge success! Through the generosity of the school community (students, faculty, and staff), 30 families were provided with Thanksgiving baskets along with Shop Rite Gift Cards for their Thanksgiving dinner. Many thanks to all who participated!
A group of MMA students will deliver the collected food items and gift cards on Monday, November 25.
Lunch Accounts
Please take a moment to review your daughter's food lunch account and be sure to keep money on the account, so she can enjoy the many delicious options in the Servery. Click here for the link to the Dining Services. You can access it to replenish the account. If you have not done so already, please indicate with myschoolaccount.com that you want to be notified when the account reaches a certain level (e.g. $10 or $15) so that you can replenish before the account reaches zero. Bon appétit!

Shop for your Merion gear every school day in December through Friday, December 20.
