Merryhill Preschoolers Donate Books and School Supplies

Students at Merryhill Preschool in Rocklin recently donated 192 books, 120 school supply items and four new backpacks to Mustard Seed School and KidsFirst Counseling and Family Resource Center in Roseville. Throughout the summer, students worked together to collect new and gently used children’s books and school supplies to benefit students in need. Throughout this initiative, students learned the importance of helping other children in their community.
