Fundraiser for Merrill School Student Facing Tragic Loss
Please help the Merrill Middle School Soccer Program support one our players and his family. The mother of one of our eighth grade student athletes died in an auto accident on Thanksgiving morning. The entire Merrill community is saddened by this loss and mourns with his family. This boy, along with his brother and sister, are alone without a mother or father. On Saturday, January 16th, the players from the boy’s and girl’s Merrill soccer teams will make a unique and delicious swirled pizza inspired fresh baked product. These delicious “loaves of pizza” called Pizzrollos are being pre-sold now at the Great Harvest Bread Co. of Denver at 765 South Colorado Boulevard where the event will take place.
