Principal's Message
The grade 5 play is a rite of passage at Memorial School where we are able to see the students grow right before our eyes. Seeing the students step outside of their comfort zone and show off talents that we don't often see is a wonderful part of the Memorial experience!
Great job grade 5 students, staff, and parents! Good luck tonight and tomorrow night!
Best,
John
