Principal's Message
Hi Memorial Families,
This past week was full of amazing experiences that reminds me of the fantastic community that we are a part of. From the Spooktacular Family Night, to the Parents v. Students Kickball Monthly Activity and everything in between. We should be proud of what we are doing for the students of Memorial Elementary.
-Dr. Lawrence
