Merryhill Preschool Students Donate Pet Supply Items to Local Shelter

Students at Merryhill Preschool in Lone Tree recently donated pet supply items to Denver Dumb Friends League, a local animal shelter. The donations were the result of a school-wide drive the students hosted to help animals and pets in need. They worked together to collect food, toys, and other supplies to benefit animals the organization serves. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of giving back in their community.

Merryhill Preschool instills a sense of social responsibility at an early age by implementing opportunities for students to learn about the importance of giving back to their communities and helping others in need. Its signature Links to Learning preschool curriculum emphasizes social-emotional learning as a stepping stone for kindergarten and beyond. Teachers work with children to help recognize and label emotions in themselves and others, while learning how they fit into their community and the larger world.
