May Days Are Busy Days
We kicked the month off by celebrating our teachers and school staff. The phrase "teachers are the only professionals who lose sleep over other people's children" is a popular sentiment highlighting the intense emotional, mental, and personal dedication educators feel regarding their students' well-being, safety, and academic success. While often cited, it underscores the deep, often invisible, care they carry outside of school hours. The Memorial Staff exemplifies this. They want only the best for your children and strive to give that to them everyday here at school and beyond.
A special thank you to the HSA for their organization and fundraising this year. Through family participation in the HSA fundraisers, the field trips, and many other activities are being fully funded by the monies raised. Way to go Memorial Community!
As the weather becomes warmer please dress your child accordingly. Sunscreen should be applied at home. We do not apply sunscreen here at school, please do not send it with your student. If you have concerns please call Nurse Lawrence. Hats are welcome for recess and outside time.
Please keep in mind the gym is not air-conditioned.
Enjoy every fun day that May brings.
PLEASE BE SAFE!
We have a lot more walkers with the arrival of better weather.
Please remember:
- Cross in the cross walks with crossing guards
- Watch your speed
- Obey the one ways
- Watch your children
- Clear campus
- Do not climb the trees
The safety of everyone is important. We appreciate you doing your part.
