Merrimac Community School Garden is pleased to be a part of the Sauk County Master Gardener Tour this year! New mulch from DelMor Nursery looks great in the paths! A big thank you to the Bourgeois, Meier, Scherbert, and Toberman families for raking and spreading the mulch!
The garden is really getting growing! Stop by and check it out! Pinch off some young lettuce or kale to take home. Look under the milkweed leaves for monarch caterpillars!
A last day hike and monarchs closed the circle of second grade. Enjoy the summer!
At the end of the year, 4-5's squeezed in s'more science with solar ovens!
Congratulations to the Class of 2031 as they move on from Merrimac! You are always welcome! We are proud of you!

Fame Day is a highlight each spring for one day of mini-classes with crafts, sports, and activities! A favorite for all!
MCS was on the move on Saturday, June 1st! On the heels of the race/walk in the morning, it was MCS night at the Mallards Game! To top it off 25 current and former students sang the National Anthem to a sold out stadium on the second home game of the season. Under the direction of music teacher, Miss Knitt, they made us proud! Linked below is a video of them singing from the field. Thanks to the Mallards for a fun school family night out! #madisonmallards #togetherwesoar #MCS

The Merrimac Swing Into Summer 5K Run & 1 Mile Walk was a soaring success! Our Girls Running Club members cheered each other on to the end. Lots of families enjoyed the walk as well. MCS doesn't let a little rain slow us down! #togetherwesoar

MCS 4K students went on a field trip to Circus World. For most of the children it was their first bus ride and there were many giggles on the drive. The Big Top show was fantastic and the final act they enjoyed was watching the Human Cannonball shoot through the air. Thank you to the MCS Home and School Association for helping pay for our school bus transportation!

We went back in time to 1885 at Old World Wisconsin! Grades 2 and 3 had an epic day with the living history of homesteads, apprenticeships, and pioneer power!

Mr. Adam, owner of Ferry Landing Concessions, treated the MCS 4K students to ice cream Thursday. Then they rode the ferry across Lake Wisconsin and played on the other side. It was an amazing day!
