This year my daughter is new to Merrimack valley middle school. We moved here from Nashua NH. Since starting here my daughter has been doing very well and has made plenty of friends. Last week the principal called and told me that my daughter has gotten a positive write-up because all the teachers love her and said she is such a good addition to their school and she brings very positive energy to the classrooms and the school! (yes, I cried) I have never heard of any school participating in such a thing! I believe this is a successful way to keep students engaged and love school! Not only was I proud, but my daughter is also and was so happy to receive this news! MVMS keep on rocking!
