Memorial Mustangs

Dear Memorial Families and Caregivers:

We have had a superb start to the school year! The energy from our students and staff has been amazing. Classroom teachers spent the first few days establishing routines and expectations while also prioritizing community-building activities. While visiting all of our classrooms over the last few days, Mr. Marra and I were excited to see the level of student engagement and classroom cultures being established. Our scholars are connecting again with old friends while making our new friends feel very welcomed. It is a true testament of what Memorial is all about.

Over the weekend, please take some time to ask your children how things are going. Your feedback and continued support is always appreciated. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the school year. Please note, that our newsletter will now be bi-weekly. Should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.

Brennan Greer and Cora Chiaruttini report for duty as Memorial's new 4th grade Standard Bearers. They have the honor of representing us every day and proudly assume the task of hanging our flags. We are so proud!
