Happy Staff Appreciation Week to our fabulous staff at Memorial and New Albany Schools! We couldn't ask for a better staff to work alongside and we are truly appreciative of all that they do. Not only do they take excellent care of students, they are also amazing colleagues and friends.

We appreciate them so much!

We are grateful for our school Lunch heroes, Ms. Janet, Ms. Janice, and Ms. Linda, for all they do for our students. They are always so positive and friendly with students and make healthy, delicious lunches that students enjoy. Thank you for always leading with kindness!

This annual event provides an opportunity to raise awareness about hearing and speech problems, and to encourage people to think about their own hearing and get their hearing checked. Early identification and intervention for hearing loss is important. Many people live with unidentified hearing loss, often failing to realize that they are missing certain sounds and words. Checking one’s hearing is the first step toward addressing the issue.

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month recognizes, celebrates, and increases awareness of the rich history, contributions, and accomplishments of Asian Americans and Pacific Island Americans.

During AAPI Month, our Nation celebrates the diversity of cultures, breadth of achievement, and remarkable contributions of these communities; of brave immigrants who, motivated by the promise of possibilities, picked up their lives and found new homes here; of native peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial; and of community leaders shaping a brighter future for us all. Throughout our history, they have represented the bigger story of who we are as Americans and embodied the truth that our diversity is our strength as a Nation.

Join in paying tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America's history and are instrumental in its future success. To learn more about this commemorative month, click here: Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Fact Sheet

May is Mental health awareness month! This month was established in 1949 to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in our lives and also celebrate recovery from mental illness. It can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to taking care of our own well-being but here are three steps to help guide you.

Learn: how modern life affects mental health with new resources to navigate a changing world

Act: by building your coping skills toolbox so you can manage stress, difficult emotions, and challenging situations

Advocate: to improve mental health for yourself, your friends, and family.

Thank You

New Albany staff sends a huge "THANK YOU!" to CEHASA for the wonderful treats

all week long for Staff Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for all the many things to

make us feel special!

The LunchTime Portal also gives you the opportunity to track purchases, create reminders and set up automatic payments. Below is a guide to setting up your student’s account. If you do not want to pay online and would like to continue sending in cash or check with your student, you are still able to create a username and password to track your students’ purchases and see how much money is on the account.

Payments made online have NO FEES or other charges!

If you would like detailed information, use the “Parent Guide to School Payment Portal”. This document will assist new users with the most basic functionality of the School Payment Portal. Any questions or concerns with a student’s account should be directed to Lisa Friedrich, Food Service Director.
