Dear Memorial Families and Caregivers:

As we come to the end of a remarkable school year, I sincerely thank each of you for your support and collaboration. Your involvement has played a crucial role in making this year both meaningful and memorable.

I’m incredibly proud of the growth, effort, and enthusiasm your children have shown. Together, we’ve fostered a caring and dynamic learning environment that I feel truly fortunate to be a part of.

As summer begins, I hope you find time to unwind, enjoy quality moments with family, and dive into new adventures. Don’t forget to read, explore, laugh, and make lasting memories.

Thank you for trusting us with your children each day—it’s an honor to be part of their learning journey. Wishing you a joyful, restful, and safe summer. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

All my best,
Pat

POINT OF PRIDE - Congratulations 4th Grade Scholars...We will miss you!

Dear 4th graders,

Congratulations on a fantastic year! You have grown so much—learning new skills, making friends, showing kindness, and working hard every step of the way. Your hard work and dedication have made this year truly special, and I am proud of every one of you.

As you move forward, remember that learning never stops. Keep asking questions, exploring new ideas, and believing in yourself. Whether in the classroom or at home, always show respect and kindness.

I hope you reflect on all the wonderful memories you’ve made at Memorial School and carry them with you as you continue to grow and achieve great things.

Thank you for making Memorial a special place with your smiles and enthusiasm. Keep dreaming big and working hard—I know you will do incredible things!

Best wishes on a successful transition to middle school!

Sincerely,

Mr. Marra
