Merrymount celebrated the upcoming Lunar New Year on Friday, January 20, 2023 with a school-wide parade and a lot of amazing artwork!

Kindergarten paraded through the hallways, showing off their masks and lanterns, while all other students lined the hallways with their Lunar New Year art projects.

Our students inspired hope and positivity as we head into the Year of the Rabbit!
