Greetings Memorial School Community,

This Wednesday, March 3rd, district staff will have an early release day. The district will continue to have early release days on Wednesdays through the upcoming winter break at the end of February.

Additionally, the Sanborn Regional School District School Board has approved the continuation of early release days on Wednesday for the remainder of the school year.

Travel During February Break:

The school board approved making Monday, March 1st, following February break a remote learning day for students in all school. Please note that the CDC/DHHS guidance is still in effect and anyone students who travel outside of New England will be required to quarantine for 10 days when they return. There is not option to test out of this. We are asking families to contact their child's teacher if they have travel plans, so our staff can plan accordingly.

Memorial School PTO

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!

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.

What's Happening in the PTO Now:

Our food fundraiser through Otis Spunkmeye and Joyful Traditions has begun! Flyers have gone home. You can set up your student's online order site HERE. Orders will be here in time for Easter. 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. This is our 3rd fundraiser (membership and raffle baskets). We appreciate the support that everyone has offered!

In March we will be hosting a Memorial Spirit felting zoom class through Maker's Post. You can order your kit HERE. Maker's Post is also collecting donated kits for students in need. Please reach out to PTO or Nurse Cindy if you need financial assistance for this program.

Also coming this Spring there will be a Fairy/Gnome Garden class with Down to Earth Garden Center.

Please email memorialpto@sau17.net to volunteer as a room parent for your child's class.

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!

Additional School and Community Information

Winter Attire

We are now fully into the winter season. As we continue to try and give students outdoor mask and movement breaks (when possible), it is so important that students come to school with weather appropriate clothing. Students are strongly encouraged to wear layers, bring a coat, have appropriate footwear, as well as a hat and mittens (as needed). Thank you for your support.
