Principal's Note...
The Memorial School Building Committee has been hard at work and some of the vision is coming into focus. Check out the progress via the link below. I included a few photos below of how the potential building is shaping up. It is very exciting to think about what the academic and social experience could be like for our students in a state-of-the-art building!

Wondering About Fifth Grade? By Whitney T. (GRADE 5)
This year, Memorial Fifth Graders have taken on a One Grade, One Book challenge. The entire grade has been tackling a book project based on R.J. Palacio’s novel, Wonder. After reading the book, fifth graders chose one of three projects to complete throughout the school year. Whether it’s a life size astronaut helmet modeled off the main character, Auggie’s, own helmet, a creative poster displaying one of Wonder’s many wise and witty precepts, or a one-page essay giving their own views on Auggie’s appearance, the fifth graders have certainly had their work cut out for them this year. The book’s theme of being kind and accepting everyone goes along with our school’s H.E.A.R.T. core values. This all-year challenge has allowed students to combine their creativity with their strong work ethic and love of reading that undoubtedly shines through in their stellar work.
