Memorial Mustangs

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It is hard to believe that June is finally upon us. As I finish up this first year at Memorial, I would like to thank the many parents who have come to see me throughout this first year at Memorial. I look forward to continuing to build relationships and supporting such an amazing school community . To have a good understanding of our parent body is very important to enable the school to meet the needs and aspirations of our families and students.

Most importantly our students have enjoyed another fabulous year. It has been great to be able to bring back so many of our school traditions and events throughout the year. With the support of this amazing Memorial staff, our students have excelled academically and grown social emotionally. As we finish up the last few weeks of school, our academics continue alongside all of the end of the year events and celebrations. Let's finish the year strong!

Respectfully,

Troy

The Class of 2015 alumni return to Memorial to open up their time capsule. As these Natick High School seniors prepare for their graduation, they returned to Memorial this past week for a nostalgic moment to reflect on their elementary school years at Memorial Elementary. Congratulations to all of them in their future endeavors. We continue to be proud of all their accomplishments.
