Hello parents and guardians,
We are excited to share with you that as of April 15th, we will be accepting signups for our first ever Student Led Conference. This will occur via Signup Genius and an invitation will be sent from your child's classroom teacher.
This will replace our traditional spring conference. Students will take a leadership role in talking about and reflecting on their learning while sharing examples of their work that they feel show their learning and growth. Please support us and your child(ren) and join us for this event that we are confident will be a positive and meaningful experience for parent and child.
Your Student Led Conference will take a total time of approximately 15-20 minutes and will include a conversation led by your child as well as a stop at the classroom of one specialist classroom that has been designated to your child's grade.
Thank you so much for supporting your child's learning as well as Memorial Elementary School. We hope to see you on May 8th and that you are able to sign up for a Student Led Conference between the times of 1:30 - 6:00 p.m.
Have a great weekend,
Ryan McCluskey

IN THE SPOTLIGHT - 1st GRADE
|
|
April is an EGG-citing month in Grade 1! Our science standards have us explore inherited traits, life cycles and patterns. Each grade 1 class has an incubator full of chicken eggs. Classes are using their science skills of observation and finding evidence to make predictions about the developing embryos. We are learning facts about chickens, their life cycle and animal traits. The classes participate in candling (shining a light through the shell) and turning the eggs. After 21 days we will
share the excitement of our new arrivals. Stay tuned…..

Immunization Requirements for Fifth/Sixth grade students
:
In preparation for middle school please be advised that when your child is age 11 years or older, and it has been 5 years or longer since their last Tetanus toxoid-containing immunization, they must receive a booster dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine. If your child has a documented medical contraindication to pertussis vaccine, a Td booster is acceptable. In addition, every child entering grade 6 must have had (2) doses of Varicella vaccine (chicken pox).
If your child had the disease of chicken pox, this must be listed with the date of the disease on a recent physical history and exam form completed by your child’s health care provider.
If your
child is 11 years old, and has already received
these immunizations, please provide a copy of the latest physical exam and updated immunization record to the health office as soon as possible. This may be faxed to the school nurse at 603-382-1466. If your child has a well-child visit scheduled within this school year, please discuss these requirements with the doctor at the time of the visit, and provide a copy of this physical and updated immunization record to the school nurse. Thank you.
Thank you,
Cindy Cole RN
Memorial School Nurse

You may be wondering, what are some of our student's favorite meals? Brunch for Lunch is very popular at Memorial, with French Toast sticks being a top choice, especially when served with sausage and a hash brown patty. Waffles, pancakes and scrambled eggs are also very popular. Our second most popular meal is pizza, (the students love meatball as a topping), followed closely by Bosco sticks (Mozzarella stuffed breadsticks served with marinara sauce) and cheeseburgers. Chicken nuggets and chicken patty sandwiches are also top choices for lunch.
In our salad bar, the most popular continues to be our Lunchboxes. We offer a new lunchbox every week, with choices like the Nacho Lunchbox, the Pizza Lunchbox, the Ham and Cheese Lunchbox, the Pepperoni Stackers Lunchbox and the Better Cheddar Lunchbox. Chicken Caesar is our most popular salad choice, and Ham and Cheese and Egg Salad are top sandwich choices.
Recently, we added smoothies to our lunch menu, and they have been extremely popular! We offer strawberry banana and blueberry blast, and are available on Thursdays, along with our fruit and yogurt parfaits. Chocolate milk is the most popular beverage choice at lunch time.
Breakfast is offered daily, and "Donut Thursday" continues to bring in the most students! Mini Cinnamon buns and homemade muffins are also popular, and apple juice is the top choice in breakfast beverages.
We hope your children enjoy all of our menu choices here, and if you have any question or concerns, please contact JoAnne at Memorial (603) 382-3326.

The Memorial School Student Council is half way through its annual Penny Drive fundraiser, it will end on April 15th. The Penny Drive is a contest between all classrooms to see who can bring in the most change, dollars are also accepted. There will be a collection can in each classroom and the student council will empty the cans as needed and keep running records of the totals. Each year the members of the student council come up with ideas for organizations and charities to which we can donate the money. This year the student council voted for CHaD, Children's Hospital at Dartmouth to be the recipient of our donation. Please help our school to raise as much money as we can for such a wonderful cause, by bringing in any loose change or dollars from your couch cushions, cars, etc. The class who raises the most money will win a pizza party.
So send in your loose change and help support this great cause.
Thank you all for your continued support of the Memorial School Student Council.
