Spread the Word - this year Merchantville's 8th Grade presents a safe Halloween experience for all little and big monsters in Monsterville - a Haunted Circus Train float parade! The parade will begin on Saturday, October 24, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. - map & parade route. The MES Haunted House has been a community staple since the 1990's and is usually the biggest graduation fundraiser of the year for MES 8th Graders. Please consider supporting them with a donation through Venmo: @Merchantville-EighthGrade or with cash donations at end of parade. Thank you! Please also "like" our new page, Merchantville 8th Grade for more information on ALL 8th Grade events and fundraisers this year! We know this isn't the year they envisioned, but we know with this community's support it will be awesome, nonetheless! Huge thanks to the Merchantville Police Department, Merchantville Fire Department & Niagra Fire Company, Pennsauken Police Department, Merchantville Public Events Committee, Mayor Ted Brennan and even New Jersey Transit for their help in making sure our parade route is safe for all! It takes a village, and (we're biased here) we're so thankful to be a part of the BEST village (or borough!) around!

We already know you’re doing superhero jobs with ALL of the school changes and at-home learning. if you have a little more to give - and we realize that may be asking a lot right now - the PTA's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee is wondering if you might consider sharing a bit of your smarts, and time, with another MES kiddo.

We hope to pair up students with parents who are knowledgeable in a variety of subject areas for free virtual tutoring sessions. Sessions will be scheduled according to student and tutor flexibility. If you can support one of our awesome MES kiddos as a parent tutor this fall, please click this link to register. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.
