Coffee Pond Photography
Retake Day is Tomorrow!!!
If you are not completely satisfied with your portrait and would like to try again, you have the opportunity for a free retake.
Memorial School’s Retake Day is Tomorrow. Please return the entire, undamaged portrait package to the photographer on Retake Day. Keep the class photo!
Write any suggestions for the photographer on a piece of paper so it shows through the envelope window. Retake Day is rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, the portraits will be taken indoors against a neutral backdrop. Retake Packages will be distributed by the school approximately 3 to 5 weeks after Retake Day.
The all school picture and the 4th grade class picture will also be taken tomorrow.

College and Career Day
Looking for presenters and students......
On December 20th, our third and fourth grade students will again participate in College and Career Day! This year we will again have visitors "teach" courses related to a variety of careers. Some of these careers may or may not require college degrees. Last year we had many parents and family members volunteer to "teach." We are looking for volunteers again this year. There are two sessions, 9-10:30 and 10:45-12:30. You are also welcome to join our students for lunch that day from 12:30-1:15.
We are also inviting siblings and close family friends who are in college or who attended a technical school to join us for lunch and talk to our students about the future. Please contact Mrs. Balboni if you have someone who would be able to join us for lunch.

Hello Memorial Families,
Please pack a healthy snack daily for your child. We have many students coming to school without a snack.
As the weather changes, children need to be dressed for the colder temperatures. Please send your children in with coats, hats, mittens, boots and long pants everyday. Also, now is a good time to replace your child’s extra set of clothes with a warmer option in case of any type of accidental soiling happens during school hours. An extra set of clothes is required for
all children
to have at school.
As you get together with family and friends over the upcoming holiday seasons it’s important to remember these times are a great opportunity for illness to spread. Please remind your children that hand washing is the best preventative measure and will help them to stay healthy. Adult supervision when washing can be helpful in achieving effective results.
We encourage getting the flu vaccine every year. The flu can make you feel extremely ill for several days, which means many absences from school and work. It is very important to keep your children home if they have:
- A fever over 99.5
- Nausea, Vomiting. Diarrhea
- A bad cough, cold, runny nose
- Undiagnosed rash
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- Scabies, Ringworm
If uncertain please call us for further guidance.
Please remember by following these guidelines we are decreasing the spread of illness in the school. We appreciate your help in keeping our Memorial kids healthy and safe!
Happy Holidays!!
Michelle LeBlanc, BSN, RN
