On Tuesday, May 20th the Science Club hosted an Invention Convention at the Mercer Public Library!
This is an event where students share creative ideas or inventions that solve problems or make things better. It’s important for students because it helps them think creatively, work with others, and practice presenting. It encourages them to be problem-solvers and forward-thinking leaders in their communities!
Students, Staff, and Community Members were invited to listen to pitches and judge each invention. We are so proud of all the students! The winners were: 1st place - The Bus Buddy, 2nd place - Insight X, Favorite Invention - The Sonic Striker!
A humorous turn of events....
Please help the Seniors locate their FLAMINGOS!

The weather was a bit slippery for beginning cross-country skiers, but that didn't prevent the 2-4 grade students from having a great time at MECCA. Thanks to Mrs. Syverson, Mrs. Powers, and the fantastic instructors and volunteers through MECCA and ICORE that ensured students had an enjoyable and educational experience walking the trails at MECCA and learning about this vital ecosystem.
The Mercer Senior Class of 2025 is having a Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser starting March 4th to raise money for their trip to South Padre Island, TX!
For this fundraiser, people can donate to have a group of pink plastic flamingos placed on someone else's lawn as a surprise, essentially "flocking" their yard. Those who have been “flocked” will then have the option to "flock" a new yard (within Iron County) by donating. Flamingos are moved each week on Tuesdays until Graduation. If you are “flocked” you will receive a flyer from the seniors giving you further information and instructions!
