Moments with Merritt – March 2017

One of the things that makes the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools stand out is the incredible number of opportunities in athletics and activities for our students at the high school level.

These programs provide our students with hands on learning opportunities that develop responsible, hard-working, and dedicated students.  They help students learn the value of teamwork and commitment to a cause that is bigger than themselves.

For this edition of Moments with Merrit, Superintendent Monica Merrit, talks with the Assistant Principals of Athletics and Activities at Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, Vernon Crump, Brian Samulski and Luke Swanson.

The show will air live on 88.1 the Park on March 14, 21, and 28, at 5:45 p.m.
