Memorial Memo!
News & Updates for our Little Devils Families
Week Ending 12/22/23
Dear MES Families!
We have survived all of the JOY that December brings to school each year! Our students have been amazing as they've balanced learning with the excitement of the impending holidays.
This week has been filled with fun from our Spirit Week to lots of classroom activities and treats.
We are all looking forward to the New Year and all that 2024 will bring us. I can't wait to tell you more about the new reading program we will be implementing starting in January- Wit & Wisdom! This will replace our current Wonders program which needed to be updated. Stay tuned for more details about Wit & Wisdom in January.
We wish all of you that celebrate a Wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
See you in 2024,
Mrs. French
Memorial Core Values
We've been working with our School Council & Staff as we move toward a 'rebranding' of Memorial that includes looking at our Core Values, re-writing our Mission & Vision, as well as choosing a new mascot.
We'd love you to be part of this process. Please take a moment to share your input on our Core Values.
Use this LINK to get to the Core Values survey where you can choose the top 3 values you'd like to see your student develop before leaving Memorial 🌎
Stay tuned for the mascot survey next week!

Notes from Nurse Mona
Students sometimes get messy and wet while playing hard at school. Please be prepared by having an extra set of clothes in a bag in the bottom of your child's backpack. This is will make it easy to find them in the event we need them for your child.
