Back to School Fall Picnic 
When - Wednesday, Sept 26, 5-7 pm
Where - Merion Elementary School Field
Merion families are invited for an evening of fun to celebrate the new school year. Bring your picnic blanket and enjoy pizza slices, pretzels, plenty of drinks, baked goods, and music.

Volunteers Still Needed 
This event wouldn't be possible without the help of our parent volunteers who make the Fall Picnic a family favorite! Help is still needed at the food, drink and dessert tables. Please consider signing up for a 30-minute shift during the evening - it's a great opportunity to meet other Merion parents and support our school!

Food Orders 
Families can either pre-order dinner from Tony Roni's, buy slices of pizza (regular or gluten free) at the picnic, or bring your own dinner. There will be a limited amount of pizza slices and plenty of drinks, baked goods, and Merion merchandise for sale at the picnic.
We strongly encourage you to pre-order dinner by completing the attached order form and returning it with your payment to school by Friday, Sept 21. We will not accept any orders received after this date.
Please contact Ursula Yau at ursyau99@gmail.com or 215-805-0837, or Jonathan Oler at joler71@yahoo.com or 215-512-4061 with any questions.
All proceeds benefit the Merion HSA.

HSA Dues 
As a parent/guardian of a Merion student, you are a member of the school's HSA. We ask for your support by contributing $15 per family for annual dues. These dues go a long way to support the Merion School and Community with:
  • Enrichment Activities, such as assemblies and the Artist/Scholar In Residence program.
  • Community Building Events such as Cultural Heritage Night and Fall Picnic.
  • Information, such as the school directory and the Thursday Envelopes.
Included with your dues payment, you will receive one Merion directory per family. The directory is full of useful information such as school guidelines, a calendar of HSA events and meetings, a list of this year's committee chairs, a staff directory, and a directory of students organized by class. Any family that cannot pay dues, but would like to receive a directory, please contact Ms. Heffron. This information will remain confidential.
Pay Dues Via PayPal
