News from Manchester Memorial Elementary School!

Principal's Note...
On Monday, April 10th Memorial Elementary School started their fundraising efforts for Pennies for Patients. They joined 29,000 schools nationwide in the fight against blood cancer. This fundraiser will conclude on May 12th and the Memorial School has set the high goal of raising $4000. With the warm weather finally making its appearance, students have been out and about setting up lemonade stands and raising money while having fun with their classmates. If you see our students around town fundraising please contribute what you can because with every penny, nickel, dime, quarter, or dollar you donated, you helped save the lives of cancer patients!
It makes us so proud to see our students growing to understand that we can make a difference in the world if we really set our mind to it!
Have a great weekend!
Best,
John
LAST CALL...YEARBOOKS!
All orders for yearbooks have to be in by the end of April Vacation. Make sure to take a moment to visit the Lifetouch website over the next week, so your child doesn't miss out. The yearbook is 80 pages of color photos of the entire student body.
Orders should be made online at http://ybpay.lifetouch.com and our personal school yearbook ID code is 12301017. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems ordering. I will be around all week.
Thank you SO much for supporting our school. Creating the yearbook has been a labor of love for the yearbook team and we are very please with how it has turned out.
Happy April Vacation!
Best,
April Johnson
