Last night the
sounds of the season filled the auditorium as the MERHS Band, Chorus and
Soundwaves performed its annual Winter Concert. Displays of student artwork
lined the hallways, and Caroline Epp welcomed this year’s inductees in into
National Art Honor Society. It was a wonderful evening, and it was a nice way
to honor the musical and artistic achievements of our students and the work of
our gifted staff in developing this young talent.
At MERSD, we take
pride in showcasing the talent of all of our students, from the classroom to the
athletic fields to the concert halls. Last evening's events provided clear
evidence as to the importance of the performing and creative arts in the
education of the whole child.

Principal Raucci, which highlights the importance of arts education in the
development of creative thinking, a key standard in both the Whole Child
Initiative and the 21st Century Skills framework.
