Welcome to this week's edition of the Magic Minutes! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

It has been such a joyful week here at Merrimac!

Our third grade students had a wonderful time on their field trip to PJ Cinemas to see The Pout-Pout Fish, which connected beautifully to both our SEL and literacy work—such a fun way to bring learning to life!

Our Pep Squad is back at it, rehearsing in preparation for our upcoming talent show. We can already feel the excitement building and can’t wait to see them shine!

Across the building, classrooms have been enjoying a variety of spring celebrations, filling our school with energy, laughter, and lots of smiles.

As a reminder, Spring Break begins tomorrow, and students will return to school on Monday, April 13. I hope you all enjoy a relaxing, fun, and well-deserved break with your families.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Spring Break—we look forward to seeing you back soon!
