Memorial School News

Our students had a great day dressing up today. Grade 4 paraded their scarecrows through the school and Kindergarten showed off their costumes to their schoolmates. Grade 3 took pumpkins and joy to the people at the Laurel Center this afternoon. It was a beautiful day. Please click here to see some of the pictures from today.  Special thanks to all of the parent volunteers that took time to help out today and to all the ones who helped decorate our school.

Memorial School has used the area in front of the school, adjacent to the road, for the past few years for parking though it has never been an official parking area. The town will be putting a curb there and ultimately a sidewalk. The town began hydro-seeding the area this morning.  The good news is that it will provide a safe area for people to walk. The BAD news is that as of today, Tuesday, October 13th, we will no longer be able to park adjacent to the road.  We will keep most of the marked spaces out in the front open for parents to park and look at parent pick-up at the end of the day to determine what alternatives we have.

Just a quick reminder that chorus is on Thursdays and it ends at 3:00

Some of the most needed items at the shelter include: ·         Plain chicken or turkey baby food (for kittens) ·         Kitten food (both canned and dry) ·         Adult dog food canned and dry (Iams, Purina One, Pedigree, etc.) ·         Clay cat litter ·         Laundry detergent, high efficiency ·         Hand Sanitizer ·         Toilet Paper ·         Disposable Non-Latex Gloves ·         Gift cards to any pet store We will also be displaying pictures, stories, and drawings of students and t
