Science experiment Friday in Kindergarten today! We did soda science using pop and mentos! We have been learning many science terms the last couple of weeks! We have used words like Hypothesis, Outcome, and materials!
Questions to ask: When doing a science experiment what is our first guess called?
What do we call what happens in the experiment when it’s over?
Special thanks for Mrs. Swanson's class for helping out with painting the numbers for tonight's home football game!

Congratulations to the 2024 Turtle Lake-Mercer Homecoming Court! Students in grades 7 through 12 were given the opportunity to vote for four young men and women to represent Turtle Lake-Mercer School. The candidates for Queen are: McKenna Faulkner, Irie Irwin, Mya Kittler, and Sadie O'Shea. The candidates for King are: Andrew Eichhorst, Morgan Maxwell, Karson Rust, and Wyatt Wagner. Two first grade students were randomly drawn to be the crown bearers. Olivia Berndt and James Schwalk are the lucky students chosen. The students will vote for King and Queen later this week. Homecoming Coronation will take place at 2:15 PM on September 16th in the Ed Rath Auditorium at Turtle Lake-Mercer School. All are welcome to attend.
Just a reminder for student drop-off (8:00-8:30) and pick-up (3:15) all vehicles dropping off and picking up students should be using the front row of the student parking lot and then following the sidewalk to enter through door 2. We ask that all vehicles follow this same procedure regardless of the presence of a school bus. Thank you for your cooperation!
