Appropriate Fall Clothing
As the fall weather continues to cool, please remind your students of the following:
  1. We will continue to have outdoor P.E. classes through the fall.
  2. Recess will continue to be outdoors (weather permitting) through the fall and winter.

Appropriate clothing choices are important so that your child can engage and enjoy these two experiences during their school week.
SAVE THE DATE!!!
We have set our dates for Parent Teacher Conferences, which will be held on Tuesday, December 7th, and Thursday, December 9th. You should have received an invitation (through SignUp Genius) to reserve a time for your child's conference this past Friday from your child's homeroom teacher. Please contact your child's homeroom teacher or the school if you did not receive an invitation.
Memorial School Happenings and Updates
Red Ribbon Week 2021!
The students and staff did a great job honoring Red Ribbon Week from October 25th through October 29th. This year's theme was 'Drug Free Looks Like Me!' Students shared their after school activities by filling out nightly raffle tickets and the building was filled with red shirts and sweaters on Wear Red day.

At the CARES assembly raffle ticket winners were announced winning t-shirts and grab bags. Mr. LaPorte's classroom had the most participation during the raffle, which earned them a pizza party. A big thank you to Charlotte Scott at SoRock Coalition for their stickers, ribbons, and t-shirt contributions and for their donation for the upcoming pizza party!

A Message from Memorial PTO
PTO’s membership drive is going strong! Thank you to everyone who has joined! Remember the first 20 families to sign up at the bronze, silver or gold level will receive a memorial swag package and the class with the highest participation will have an ice cream party! Join HERE.

Thanksgiving Centerpieces
This event will take place on Wednesday, November 17th, at Memorial School. Come work with Green Griffin to make a centerpiece for Thanksgiving/fall! $25 per centerpiece, this is a great parent & student class! Please let PTO or Mr. McCluskey know if you need financial assistance for this program. You can buy your centerpiece by clicking HERE.

Thank you to everyone who participated in last year’s virtual book fair! In addition to buying books for students in need and classrooms, we are finishing off the profits and buying $800 in books for the school library!

When you are at the school, take a minute to admire the hard work of Mrs. Branch and students leading to the gym door. PTO was able to provide funds for some gardening work.

We are looking for volunteers to help chair/co-chair events. Each year parents graduate and take their experience with them. Now is the time to jump in and be ready to keep PTO going! If you are interested, please email: memorialpto@sau17.net
Thank You
As always, thank you for your support, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
