Mr. Pfitzer Keeps His Promise

Merced reached it's goal again in the Annual Jogathon and as promised, Mr. Pfitzer danced gangnam style for the school.  He had a dance off with other students and even though Mr. Pfitzer didn't win, he was sure a good sport!

2012 Career Day

Merced had it's annual Career Day and we had some fabulous people come and speak to our students.  We had a nurse, nutritionists, electrician, LAFD Fire Captain, K-9 police, a SWAT officer, our own West Covina motorcycle police officers, along with LAPD, and medical transport.  We also had former MLB baseball player, David Palmer, along with West Covina High's football coach and Track/Cross Country Coach too.  We had a deaf/hard of hearing teacher who taught the students some sign language.  A martial arts athlete shared about his career along with pastry chefs who brought yummy treats!  There was such a variety of careers represented that it really helped our students to see some of the possibilities that are out there.  If they stay focused and embrace their education, they can be anything they want to be.
