Mr. merrifield's classroom

CARE & CONNECT is the class in which your son will spend the first 30 minutes of his day. During this time, through small groups, we focus on CONNECTing with one another, providing a time to show CARE, and CREATING the community we desire. Some activities your son might engage in include: small group discussion, FUTURE STORY PREP, team building, service opportunities, and celebrating each other's successes. This year we will continue to strengthen our tribe and work on the WE over ME narrative. Everyone in Merrifield’s Pride is a CAREtaker for their brothers and will continue to have each other’s backs.

This class is for upperclassmen students who have a desire to act as mentors to freshmen students at Thomas Nelson High School. This class focuses heavily on LEADERship dynamics with an emphasis on coaching, community service, and aiding peers behaviorally and academically. Mentors must be intrinsically motivated, be in good standing academically, and willing to engage in meaningful conversations. All freshmen students will have TNHS 101 embedded within they're daily schedule on Fridays in place of Health & PE.
