Summer Learning Spotlight!

Mercer County Schools wants to see how our students are continuing to learn and grow over the summer! Whether you’re exploring a museum, hiking in a state or national park, discovering history on vacation, reading at the local library, or even learning a new skill at home—we want to celebrate your curiosity!

Here are some great ideas for learning moments to share:

  • Visiting a museum or historical site

  • Exploring a local, state, or national park

  • Attending a summer camp or workshop

  • Reading books from your local library

  • Touring a college campus or learning about careers

  • Trying a new recipe, building something, or learning a craft

  • Exploring science, art, or music at home

  • Visiting a zoo, aquarium, or planetarium

  • Volunteering or helping in your community

To be featured, send us a picture of your summer learning moment along with:

✅ Student’s name
