We need your help in keeping an eye on the kiddos as they enjoy their "Intermediate-Only" Semi-Formal!
WHY: This is our first year offering a separate "Intermediate-only" dance (per their request!) and we are expecting a GREAT attendance turn-out! There are 376 Intermediate kids at Merton who are eligible to come to this dance!!
We don't need a ton of adult eyes, but enough to make sure everyone is where they should be, and that they're being safe. We also need help setting up, cleaning up, and at the Snack Bar.
WHO: Any parent or NHS student.
We appreciate your help! Without your contribution to the team, we simply cannot offer fun events like this for the kids.
Our amazing school staff works tirelessly to create a wonderful learning environment for our children. You can show your appreciation by helping them stock their classrooms! We've compiled an Amazon wishlist with items they've requested. Please consider purchasing an item or two to support their efforts.

Comments: Help keep an eye on the kids at Youth Night
Youth Night is a super fun and easy way to connect with other parents and simultaneously hang out with your kids and their friends.
All we ask is that parents keep an eye on the gym, the commons (crafts/games), the little theater and the outdoor playground (weather permitting). There is also an opportunity to assist with the concessions area where students can purchase snacks and drinks for $1.
