MERIT Haunted Hayride<br />
Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 27<br />
Proceeds to benefit <strong>Millis</strong> Educational<br />
Resource Initiative Team (M.E.R.I.T.)<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Educational<br />
Resource Initiative Team<br />
(M.E.R.I.T.) will be hosting their<br />
Annual Haunted Hayride at<br />
Tangerini’s Spring Street Farm in<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> on Saturday, <strong>October</strong> 27st<br />
from 4:30 – 10 p.m.. For fifteen<br />
years, this annual family friendly<br />
event is MERIT’s top fundraiser<br />
of the year and helps provide the<br />
funds awarded to grant recipients<br />
from all three <strong>Millis</strong> public<br />
schools every year.<br />
Cost for the event is $10/person.<br />
The spooky meter will be<br />
low from 4:30 – 6:30 for families<br />
with young children looking to<br />
enjoy a fun hayride around the<br />
fields of Tangerini’s Farm. Please<br />
note, though lower on the spooky<br />
scale, characters will be dressed<br />
in costume, so please use parental<br />
discretion. After 6:30, the spooky<br />
meter is turned up a notch and<br />
a lot of scares and fun are to be<br />
found at all our Scary Stations.<br />
Refreshments will be available<br />
for purchase. Tickets will be on<br />
sale at Tangerini’s and Roche<br />
Bros. after the first of <strong>October</strong>.<br />
We will also have special ticket<br />
sale dates on Saturday, <strong>October</strong><br />
13th and 20th at the <strong>Millis</strong><br />
Public Library from 10 a.m. to 3<br />
p.m. For additional information<br />
on ticket sales, please check out<br />
our Facebook page at facebook.<br />
com/MERITmil. All ticket sales<br />
are final. There are no rain dates<br />
and tickets typically sell out, so be<br />
sure to get them before the event!<br />
“The MERIT Haunted Hayride<br />
at Tangerini’s Farm is a<br />
great school-community, familyoriented<br />
event that is our biggest<br />
fundraiser of the year. The<br />
field station volunteers are <strong>Millis</strong><br />
teachers, coaches, and parents<br />
that have a lot of fun scaring<br />
the Hayride participants while<br />
MERIT volunteers offer concessions<br />
for purchase in the greenhouse.<br />
It has been wonderful to<br />
work with the Tangerini’s year<br />
after year. It is the perfect location<br />
and we are very grateful for<br />
this partnership!” says Theresa<br />
Mahoney, MERIT President.<br />
The <strong>Millis</strong> Resource Initiatives<br />
Team is a non-profit, state<br />
chartered local education fund.<br />
Founded in 1991 and run by volunteers<br />
(<strong>Millis</strong> residents) MERIT<br />
solicits funds for innovative, curriculum-based<br />
programs not typically<br />
funded within the regular<br />
school budgets. Nearly $300,000<br />
has been granted to enhance the<br />
<strong>Millis</strong> School System curriculum<br />
since 1991. MERIT has additional<br />
fundraisers throughout<br />
the year and is always looking for<br />
personal donations, volunteers or<br />
corporate sponsors.<br />
During the 2017-<strong>2018</strong> school<br />
year we were able to fund over<br />
$45,000 to grant recipients and<br />
fund exciting initiatives such as<br />
robotics programs and digital<br />
learning tools for classrooms–<br />
including Osmo and Blue Bots,<br />
flexible seating, reading initiative<br />
programs, aquaponics labs, film<br />
equipment, the start of a virtual<br />
reality lab at all three schools and<br />
funds to begin the High School<br />
Engineering Program – just to<br />
name a few! We would not be<br />
able to do these things without<br />
community support.<br />
