Memorial Mustangs

Dear Families and Caregivers,

As we near the end of the school year, the excitement continues with a variety of meaningful and memorable experiences for our students.

Last week, our 2nd graders enjoyed an adventurous visit to the Franklin Park Zoo, while 3rd graders explored Natick’s local history at the Bacon Free Library. These enriching field trips offered students a chance to connect their classroom learning with real-world experiences.

This week, we celebrated Field Day, a beloved Memorial tradition! A huge thank you to Ms. Pascarelli for organizing another fun-filled event, and to our amazing parent volunteers and 4th grade helpers who made it all possible.

In the classroom, our 4th graders are hard at work finalizing their biography projects. Each student is researching a significant historical figure and will soon present their findings to peers and staff starting on Tuesday. We’re so proud of their effort and enthusiasm!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Pat

On Thursday May 29th we were happy to have former Memorial School students come back for a visit! Natick High School seniors and even students who moved on to other high schools were here to open the time capsule they filled and sealed at the end of their 4th grade year.

There were lots of laughs, reminiscing, memories shared and maybe even a few tears. Many of our teachers and staff were able to say a quick hello and even a retired teacher came back to join the festivities.

Their whole Natick Public Schools career came full circle when some of the students came back to take pictures at Memorial on Friday in their caps and gowns. We were so happy to be a part of their graduation celebrations. Congratulations to the 2025 NHS graduates!
