NEWSLETTER: 6/1/2025
Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members,
As the school year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Serving as the President of the Merton PTO has been a great honor and as this marks my final year in this role, I feel especially reflective and thankful.
In the last two years, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible strength, compassion, and dedication that define the Merton school community. Whether it was through volunteering your time, donating resources, attending events, or simply offering encouragement, your support has made all the difference—not just to the PTO, but to our students, teachers, and staff.
To our amazing parents: thank you for entrusting us with your partnership and for showing up time and time again. To our devoted staff: thank you for your unwavering commitment to our children and for working alongside us to create a welcoming and enriching learning environment. And to our broader community: thank you for being a vital part of the foundation that supports and uplifts our school.
Serving as PTO President has been more than just a position—it's been a journey filled with collaboration, growth, and several fun memories. I leave this role filled with pride and optimism, knowing that the heart of this community beats strong.
Although I will no longer serve as President, I look forward to supporting the PTO as the Vice President for the next two years. I am excited to see the continued impact we will all make together.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me the honor of serving alongside you.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Crystal Cresci
2023-2025, PTO President
