The Mercer volleyball team fought hard but was unable to hold off Solon Springs on Thursday in a 2-3 nail biter. Seniors Anya, Ava, and Riley were celebrated for their leadership and dedication to the team.
Thanks to Action Floor Systems for presenting career information during Manufacturing Month!
Ms. Amy invited us to her house to pick pumpkins! We saw her chickens and her dogs! She feed us a yummy lunch! We each got a pumpkin! Thank you to Ms. Amy and her husband and thank you to Josh for driving us on the bus!
During Fire Safety week, some of the Mercer Fire Fighters brought fire trucks to school and taught us about fire safety and about all the equipment they use to fight fires and help people!
Can you accurately guess the weight of the pumpkin? The Senior Class of 2025 is hosting a pumpkin weight raffle to support funds for their trip. Stop by the office at Mercer School to guess!!
The Middle School Students participated in a Iron County Tour put on by the Iron County Land & Water Conservation Dept.
They went to Corrigan’s lookout, hiking up to the bluff, discussing tree
identification/composition, invasive species impacts and prevention steps and a history of George Corrigan. They also spook with Iron County Forest Administrator Eric Peterson to discuss Iron County forest management.
They then went to Saxon Harbor to explore Indigenous connections to Lake Superior, the significance of Saxon Harbor, the Flambeau Trail, some Lake Superior facts & ecology.
They ended the trip at Montreal River to preform health assessments (water sampling, chemistry analysis, aquatic macroinvertebrate identification) of the river with County Conservationist Health Palmquist.

The new Outdoor Education class is under way! This course not only takes full advantage of the outdoor recreation opportunities in the Northwoods, but also fosters teamwork, problem-solving, and a deeper appreciation for the environment!!
Already, students have been hard at work learning essential survival skills such as building campfires, constructing emergency shelters, practicing knot tying, and learning about tree identification and natural medicines. The next unit focuses on camping which will prepare them for their first camping trip later this fall!

Mercer School Families;
We’re excited to share that our school will now be using Rooms as our main two-way communication tool! This will help simplify communication by keeping messages from teachers, coaches, and the school all in one place.
The great news is that Rooms is part of the app you already know and use, so there’s no need to download anything new. You’ll be able to receive updates, ask questions, and stay connected to your child’s learning and activities more easily than ever.
Our goal is to ensure clear, consistent, and convenient communication for families. We’re looking forward to connecting with you through Rooms!
Forest's dad works for Xcel Energy. He couldn't make it but some of his co-workers came to the school and taught us about safety if a power line is on the ground... we don't touch it and we tell a grown up so Xcel can come fix it! They showed us their equipment and how they use the buckets on their trucks to fix the power lines. They gave us coloring sheets and maze games! A big THANK YOU to Xcel Energy! Xcel Energy helps our community!
Tucker's dad and Ryder's dad came to school and told us how they do their jobs as EMTs! They showed us their equipment and how they help people who are hurt. We got to go inside the ambulance! They help our community!
Isabelle's mom came into our classroom and talked to us about being a nurse. She showed us her stethoscope and helped us to make nurse hats. She helps our community!
Officer Shilts came into our classroom and talked to us about being a State Trooper. He showed us all the equipment he wears and he showed us his police vehicle. He helps our community!
During our unit on Community Helpers, we had a field trip to Around the Corner Pub where Lylah's mom works as a waitress and bartender. She told us about how she helps people order food and drinks. We took turns looking at the kitchen where the food is cooked, we had pizza for lunch and Lylah's dad let each student use the claw machine to get a ducky! A big thank you to the couple at the Pub who paid for our pizza!
The 4K and Kindergarten classes collected fall leaves from around the school. We found red, orange and yellow leaves. Earlier we read books about how trees stop making chlorophyll when there is not as much sunshine and the leaves loose their green color.
Middle School Boys Basketball is looking for a coach. Please see attached post for details.

Forest brought in a caterpillar in a chrysalis and it came out into a beautiful monarch butterfly! We let it go so it could fly to Mexico!
First Graders were searching through newspapers to find some letters. They got to practice both reading and their fine motor skills.
