Start of the New School Year

It's hard to believe that September is nearly over and October is right around the corner.  In spite of the delay to the official start of school, we have had a wonderful beginning to the new year.  Our staff and students were clearly excited to return to school and as I walk through the building, our classrooms are buzzing.

This year we will continue incorporating technology into the classroom and promoting creative problem solving as we prepare our students for the 21st Century.  We thank the Memorial School PTO for their continued support in the area of technology, as well as the many innovative programs they bring to our students through the Cultural Arts.

During the summer, the Parks and Recreation Department began working on the fields behind the school.  Although this will ultimately lead to a wonderful space for our students, we have faced some challenges related to our inability to utilize the field during recess.  As a result, the students are limited to the tennis court, basketball court, and playground area for recess.  To promote safety in these limited spaces, the staff has worked together to develop a number of activities for our children to participate in.  Our goal is to provide the students with a fun game/activity while keeping everyone safe.
