- Merrimac students hold building's first 'Souper Bowl'. Students were encouraged to donate cans of soup and designate their donation toward the Eagles or Chiefs. They then tallied the cans and the Chiefs came out on top. Nearly 400 cans of soup were collected and donated to the Lighthouse Mission. The organization helps those less fortunate on the island.
