Banking Comes to Memorial School

I'm pleased to announce that Memorial School has partnered with the Charles River Bank to bring their School Savings Program to our students.  Beginning Tuesday November 8th, students in first through fourth grade will have the opportunity to make deposits to their very own savings account each Tuesday morning.  It is our hope that our students will learn money management skills and develop strong math skills by filling out their own deposit receipt and maintaining their transaction registry.  In addition, the Charles River Bank will make an initial deposit of $5.00 to open each students' account.  Throughout the program, there will be gifts, games, and contests to make saving fun.  Additional information will be send home with students during the week of October 24th.

Learning With Cranberries

The second grade students at Memorial School have spent the last couple of weeks learning their reading, writing, and arithemetic through their study of cranberries.  Through the use of hands on learning centers, second graders have honed their skills in measuring, estimating, and describing.  They have also learned about dry harvest vs. wet harvest and will have the opportunity to see first hand what each looks like when they visit Bog Hollow on Tuesday October 18th.  Upon their return to school, the students will send post cards (created with cranberries) describing their adventure. 

Principal's Pride

Each week teachers are asked to choose a student to participate in the Principal's Pride program.  Once chosen, the students are asked to identify a piece of work that they are most proud of.  The work is then submitted to me to be displayed on the Principal's Pride Bulletin Board during the following week.  Students also receive a signed certificate acknowledging their "BEST EFFORT". 

When visiting Memorial School, pleast stop by the lobby to view the fine work of our Principal's Pride recipients.
