Principal's Message
Dear Memorial Families,
The staff, students, and I were greeted at school this week by some really great fall decorations at the school courtesy of the PTO Beautification Committee. As one of the students said (and I agreed), "those pumpkins in front of the school make me happy!" The support that our school gets from our PTO is multifaceted and so appreciated! Please join us at the first PTO meeting Thursday, Sept 15th at 8:30am in the MMES Cafeteria. For more information, check them out on www.mmpto.org!
Enjoy the weekend!
John

School Photo Day...Thursday, September 15th!
All students in grades PK-5 will have their portrait professionally taken indoors along with a class photo with their classmates and teacher. Please be on the lookout for the ordering forms that are coming home in backpacks.
To make this a successful event, we need the help of 6 parent volunteers. If we have an over abundance of volunteers, we will select names from a hat. Three volunteers are needed from 8:30-11:15, and another three are needed from 11:15-2:00. Parent volunteers will receive a free Basic Package from Lifetouch for one of their children. The Basic Package includes 4-3x5 pictures, 8-2x3 pictures, and a class photo.
Any interested volunteers should contact Sue Kent at sdd_davenport@yahoo.com or (617)512-4201. She will be in touch with you to provide details if you were selected to be one of our volunteers. Thank you in advance!
