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.

Our 3rd graders worked so hard this week on the Ohio State ELA Assessment, and we are so proud of their effort and determination! They put their best foot forward and showed all that they have learned. A big thank-you to our families for helping ensure students came to school rested, prepared, and ready to do their best. Your support makes a difference! Assessment results are expected to be available sometime in December.

We had a HUGE turnout for our Halloween themed Family Night in our "Spooky Schoolhouse!" We had so much fun and hope you did, too! We'd love to hear your feedback from the event! Please fill out the quick survey below!

We are thrilled to welcome children's author Jonathan Miller for a special visit with our K-2 students on Thursday, November 5th! Get ready for the assembly by watching the animated version of his story, Sammy on Safari Opens in a new window .

If you would like to purchase a book, please check out the attached poster and order form. Order forms are due on November 5th, but students will also be given a second chance to order on the day of the visit!

For the month of November we are adding a mini activity students can earn just before the Cavs Assembly. Students of winning houses can opt to tattoo themselves or a participating staff member with temporary tattoos.

If you would like to volunteer fill out the sign up genius Here. Time commitment is 11/19 from 12:00 - 3pm during student recess.

Congrats to our students of the week showing PRIDE in the classroom. Our focus continues to be on showing PRIDE between transitioning of tasks. That means we are looking for focused learners.

Once a month we pick a few students who embodied component of our Journey of a Blue Devil: Communicate Effectively, Show Empathy, Think Critically, Demonstrate Adaptability, Live Responsibly. We are currently looking for our November Winners.

Our Next Event will be the Tattoo Yourself or Staff Member on 11/19. This will be a great opportunity for them to build excitement for our Cavs Assembly on 11/20. We are aiming for houses to earn 350 Blue Devil Bucks.

Here are the Tentative Events & Dates:

1. 11/19- Tattoo a teacher or self (volunteer opportunity coming soon)
2. 12/16- Movie, Hot Chocolate & Cookies
3. 1/29- Silly String the Staff
4. 2/26- Dance Party
5. 3/25- Pie in the Face
6. 4/30- Slime the Staff

Thank you to our Parent Volunteers for their role in supporting students for the Kickball Monthly Activity. Students were extremely competitive and appreciative of the opportunity. These moments are important as we help show students what it looks like when we all come together for a positive community experience.
