Memorial Elementary Newsletter

The sun, warmer weather, and longer days of June are here. Together we celebrate our year of growth in learning and friendship. A full year as a school community is ending and, as we count down the final days are bittersweet.

Our first graders end a chapter of their early elementary careers and begin new as 2nd graders. We are so proud of all they have brought to Memorial as students, friends, and citizens of Pitman. We cannot wait to see all they achieve. To our first graders, "Open your heart and mind like the wings of a butterfly and see then how high you can fly.” — Zeenat Aman

As this year wraps up we also have a retiring staff member, Nurse Barbara Hess. Her commitment to the Pitman School District is beyond measurable. To all of us at Memorial, she has touched our lives with talent, time, and memories we cherish. We wish her a well-deserved new journey full of joy and contentment.

To all our families, thank you all for a memorable year. Your support during this year of much change has not wavered. The relationships we have built are the foundation for our success as a school community and a district. We wish you all a restful summer and look forward to the next year to come.

Have a wonderful summer season.

Please be aware that we are outside alot in the final days of school.

• If you would like your student to wear sunscreen please apply at home in the morning before leaving. Additionally water bottles are a must.
• We have refilling stations so just be sure your child come with a waterbottle in the morning and we will keep it filled for them all day.
• Flip flops and sandels do not go well with the blacktop and playground mulch. Please wear approprate footwear like sneakers or other hard sole shoes.

Our goals is to be safe and have fun.
