Moments with Merritt – March 2024

Gallimore Elementary School is a great example of the wonderful teaching and learning that is happening throughout the district.  This past fall, Gallimore staff and students had two significant recognitions to celebrate.  First, the school was named a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School for the second time, making it one of the country’s highest performing schools.  The honors didn’t end there as Gallimore was ranked the number one elementary school in Michigan by U.S. News and World Report.  P-CCS Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Monica Merritt, spoke with Gallimore Principal, Aimee Bell and student, Ava Beauford.

This interview will air on 88.1 the Park on Tuesday March 5, 12, 19 and April 2 at 5:40 p.m.
