You and your family have made it more than halfway through the school year and it's time for a celebration. Merchantville a School celebrated the 100th day of school on Thursday, 2/13.  Students dressed as 100 year old people and wore 100 items on their shirts to show they are 100 days smarter. Many schools have started throwing 100 Days of School parties to mark the occasion, especially in kindergarten, when kids are learning how to count to 100. The day celebrates the number 100 with an art or math project showcasing the collection of 100 items.

The Merchantville Knights are well on their way to the championships. Coach Andrew Korn, Jerry Bennett, and Regina Lovelidge led the girls to the amazing win against the Brooklawn Bears. In the first quarter the Knights were up by 6 or 8. As the game progressed, the other team had catches up. It was now a pretty close game and everyone was playing like a team. The Lady Knights soon had the attitude that they were going to win, and they did! The final score of the game was 33-26 Knights. The other team had many great players. They fought hard against the Lady Knights, but the Knights were too powerful. All of the players did an amazing job, but a couple of standouts were eighth graders Sami Askari and Azariah Ivory - who was all over the boards and shooting great shots. Equally phenomenal was Bryce Westervelt who dribbled up the court with so much confidence it made everyone stare in awe. The Lady Knights will be facing the Somerdale Cavilers in the championships this Saturday. They are excited and can’t wait for the next match!
