Merrill Head Start is ready for the door decorating contest!🎄#DoorDecoratingContest

Our Merrill Head Start classroom was blessed to have been adopted by Community Friends for Christmas. They stopped by during Parent Club to give the children their presents.
We are thankful to have been given this opportunity this year. The children enjoyed opening their gifts with their families. 🥰♥️
