The Merrimac PTO will be hosting a silent auction on Friday, March 16th at Zorino Vineyards. They are looking for donations to help raise funds to support school programs, field trips, and cultural arts. If you wish to donate an auction item or volunteer to help, contact the PTO ( jmarden@merrimacpto.org). This should be a fun night out for parents and friends!
One of the items up for bids will be "Principal for the Day." This was a very popular item at my previous school. Students got a kick out of seeing a classmate dress up and help me run the school. The "Principal" helped greet visitors, supervise the cafeteria, check in on classrooms, and even made a few rules (teachers were forewarned there might be no homework and extra recess time). I look forward to having just as much fun with a Sweetsir student as Principal.
