Merrimac K-3 Students All Aboard for Hands-On Train Experience

Students in grades K-3 at Merrimac Elementary recently took part in an immersive, in-school experience all about trains. The engaging event featured three rotating centers designed to educate and inspire curiosity through hands-on activities and interactive learning.

At the STEM center, students transformed recycled shipping boxes into creative components of a full train model, applying design and engineering skills. In the virtual field trip center, students explored the workings of a real steam train, discovered how trains communicate, and learned to interpret train-related signs. Meanwhile, at the train table center, students worked together to build train tracks and operated toy trains to simulate real-world rail interactions.

To tie the experience together, students built their own snack trains using an assortment of treats and a train-themed placemat. The day concluded with a real-world simulation: Students used play money to purchase train tickets and “board” the STEM train, bringing the entire learning journey full circle.

The event offered a rich blend of creativity, collaboration and critical thinking, making it a memorable learning day for Merrimac’s youngest learners.

In March, Merrimac Elementary School rolled out the red carpet for a star-studded celebration of reading during its annual PARP (Pick a Reading Partner) Week. This year’s theme, “Lights, Camera, Read!” turned the spotlight on books and made reading the main event.

An impressive 255 students joined the fun by diving into stories and completing engaging activities from their customized “READO” bingo boards. Whether reading with a partner or taking on creative reading challenges, students embraced the spirit of the week with enthusiasm and joy.

Led by school librarian Lisa Martinez-Sabella and classroom teacher Allison Dassau, the program brought reading to life in exciting new ways. To recognize their efforts, all participants were invited to a donut celebration sponsored by the Merrimac PTA, adding a sweet touch to a week full of literary excitement. The top four participating classes earned a special “Day at the Movies” in the Multi-Purpose Room, where students were treated to popcorn, treats and a screening of “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile,” all made possible by PTA support.

Merrimac is proud of its dedicated readers and grateful for the collaboration between students, families, staff and the PTA.
