Staying Connected
Join Dr. Muri on his 2016-17 Campus Visit Tour
Connected @Memorial Middle (10/20)
Be Brave
- During September, a group of eighth-graders sponsored special events to support the Go Gold! Foundation focused on pediatric cancer research and awareness. Campus trees were wrapped in gold and a Turn It Gold! Football game was held. Students donated wristband sale profits to the foundation, created a “What does Bravery Mean to You?” signed banner, and sponsored a door-decorating contest with the same theme.
Be Proud
- Memorial Middle’s Fine Arts Dept. achieves continuous program excellence. Since August, the school has featured an outdoor band concert and a lip sync concert lead by theater and choir students. Memorial Middle Orchestra is celebrating 37 students who made Region Orchestra, as well as 15 students who were named to Top 10 chairs. Music to our ears!
Be a Leaner
- The library is encouraging students to be lifelong readers. A variety of special reading options help expand young minds – a September book sale, a visit by Tapestry series writer Henry Neff, and a Spooky Book Swap. Information literacy skills are also being evaluated.
Principal Daniel Bauer's reflections on the district’s Core Values:
Every Child
Parent-staff collaboration is an incredibly important aspect of the Memorial Middle campus. Because our staff works tirelessly with our community we are able to serve every child in a personalized manner.
Collective Greatness
Our school has great support from our community. Both the parents and staff have an incredible sense of school pride that is not paralleled in any other school in our nation. This sense of pride drives us to do work that goes above and beyond expectations.
Collaborative Spirit
Show me another staff that exemplifies the song, “We Are Family” better. The MMS staff collaborates at a high level whether that is to meet the academic or social-emotional needs of a child, if it’s to throw a baby shower for expecting parents, or if it is to work together to solve campus problems.
Limitless Curiosity
Our staff has incredibly high expectations for each other and the students. As a result, achievement and curiosity is pushed to unmatched levels within SBISD and even the state of Texas.
Moral Compass
The Memorial Middle campus is both compassionate and generous. These ideas inform our moral compass when making tough choices of what is best for kids even when it is inconvenient for the adult staff. Our moral compass also informs how we analyze multiple sets of data as we begin to dream of the next iteration of Memorial Middle.
