NH SAS State Test - Grade Five
All grade five students will take the NH SAS Science test on May 13th and May 14th of this week. Each year, the New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System (NH SAS) assesses students at multiple grade levels to provide information about what students know in core academic areas. It is currently used for English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. All students in grades 4, 5, and 6 will take the assessment in ELA and Mathematics in May. Thank you.

Teacher Appreciation week is fast approaching! Here is the link to sign up to help make this the best teacher appreciation week yet- the teachers deserve it more than ever!

School is in person, but PTO is still virtual at this point, so please make sure your students join the Google Classroom: ibqcfon. This is where all our events will be. Also, don't forget to buy some swag for the 2020-2021 year at Memorial SWAG!

Our next meeting is Thursday, May 13th at 7:30pm via zoom (check out our Facebook page for the link). Come join us to see what we have planned!

Membership

Our PTO Membership is drive is on and we need members to help us reach our goals and provide all the support we give to our teachers, school and students. Some of the things we do each year is provide classroom supplies, plan social events for students and families and in a normal year we pay for buses for field trips. So far this year we have provided lunch as well as breakfast and snacks for our teachers and for our students we have a scavenger hunt, kindness rocks, the opportunity to interview staff, and most recently make your own pizza kits and decorate your own apron kits! There is so much more fun on the way! Join the PTO today! Membership prices are as low as $1 due to covid. If you have any questions email memorialpto@sau17.net. Joining the Memorial School PTO is ongoing throughout the year.

Another way to help out Memorial PTO is to find us on smile.amazon.com. When you shop through Amazon Smile a percentage of all your eligible Amazon purchases will be donated to Memorial PTO at no extra cost to you!

What's Happening in the PTO Now:

Also coming this Spring there will be a Fairy/Gnome Garden class with Down to Earth Garden Center. Memorial PTO has made it a point to offer each of our events at cost this year, while still offering financial assistance to those in need as we want all students to be able to access our events. We appreciate the support that everyone has offered!

ONGOING ACTIVITIES: Kindness Rocks - students are encouraged to paint and hide kindness rocks around our communities in Newton and Kingston. They can post pictures and hints on Google Classroom.

Thanks from all of us on the PTO, we couldn't do this without your support!
