It was a beautiful day for our Family Garden Clean-Up Day! Students, families, and staff came together to pull the last of the produce, tidy up the beds, and prepare our school garden for winter. 🌻🥕🍂
Thank you to everyone who pitched in — your hard work keeps our garden growing strong year after year! 💚 #MCSGarden #CommunityInAction #ManyHandsMakeLightWork #SPSD #togetherwesoar

🎭✨ MCS students in grades 3–5 enjoyed the Sauk County Schools Renaissance Faire Field Trip Day at Circus World! The experience, hosted by Shakespeare on the Edge, connects beautifully to our Amplify language arts curriculum and literally brings knowledge to life for our learners!🌟

Farm week was so much fun in 4K, it wore out the students! Grandpa Palmer brought a tractor and all the students climbed up to check it out. They also made very colorful cow puppets and enjoyed singing Old McDonald had a Farm.

In response to the high temps forecasted - and in order for the Marching Band to stay fresh for the game - there will not be a performance for the students preceding the Homecoming Parade as originally planned.

While reading a story during literacy about a Cuban-American family, the fifth graders made and enjoyed Cuban Carne Puerco over rice, just like the characters in the story. Our adventurous fifth grade gourmets learned new cooking skills and expanded their palates. Yum!

Serious salad! After growing salad greens in the school Tower Garden, the fifth graders harvested and prepared the greens for a salad. Then they invited the fourth graders over to learn how to make homemade Maple Vinaigrette and share this bountiful harvest.

🚨 Calling All Parents & Community Members! 🚨
The Merrimac Milers Running Club is off to a fantastic start, with 17 energetic young runners! 🏃♂️🏃♀️ But we need YOUR help to keep the momentum going! 🙌

📅 When: Tuesdays & Thursdays from 3:00-4:00 PM
📅 Dates: Now through October 23rd
🏁 Final Race: October 29th around the Merrimac community!
If you're interested in volunteering, please reach out to Matt Bell at matthew.bell@saukprairieschools.org
to get connected and set up as an official volunteer. 📨
Let’s make this a fun and safe experience for our young runners! 💪

Kindergarten had a taste of our Stone Soup that students made from our garden produce! Yum!
With some of the extra potatoes, fifth graders created a circuit to power a light and proved that plants store energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Learning isn't small potatoes around here! #AgInTheClassroom
