Partnership with Medway Community Farm Continues
We are excited to announce that we will continue to partner with Medway Community Farm for our Spring Enrichment Programs! Fourth grade students will participate in a series of visits to Medway Community Farm as part of their year-end enrichment activities. Second and Third grade students will learn about planting, caring for and harvesting crops at our own school garden.
We recommend that families apply sunscreen to students on the morning of each farm experience. Please note that the grass can be damp in the morning hours and it is often helpful to tuck an extra pair of boots or shoes into backpacks. Students should wear closed toe shoes on planting and harvest days.
Please note that we are able to offer these unique experiences for our students as a result of extraordinary fundraising efforts by the Medway Elementary Parent Teacher Organization.
Farm Experience dates are found below:
Please note that students should wear class shirts or colors on the dates listed below.

Weekend Back Pack Program
We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Stop & Shop and the YMCA to provide weekend food to Memorial School students who might benefit from this support. The goal of the program is to help alleviate hunger by providing students with nutritious and easy-to-prepare foods on weekends. Each Friday, from March 29 to June 14, students participating in this program would bring home breakfast, lunch and snack items to be consumed on the weekend. Participation in this program is confidential and all students are eligible to participate. Names of participating families or students are not shared with outside sponsors or volunteers.
