The A-M PTO poinsettias arrived early! Pickup will now be today & tomorrow (12/3 & 12/4) from 3:30 - 7:00 pm at the community center in Merna.
Anselmo Merna Families,

Complete Finn’s Mission. This is where you can watch your lifesaving skill videos: Hands-Only CPR & signs of a stroke. Thank you for making our community safer!
The program is free, and we’re hoping you will use it at home to review your own emergency response plan. Kids as young as 4 can help save a life by calling 9-1-1 or even counting compressions! We know many families can’t make a donation, but our goal is making sure every family receives the free lifesaving awareness and talks about emergency response at home (see Finn’s Mission after signing up!)
Don’t forget! Any student who completes Finn’s Mission will receive their own Lifesaver superhero cape, and we want to celebrate our healthy hearts with a superhero dress up day after we reach our 50% participation goal!!!
Thank you so much for making our school heart healthy and supporting the American Heart Association.
