Reading Garden Project Underway

Thanks to our amazing community, the reading garden construction is underway. Thanks to Filias Construction and Pallazola Landcsaping for pitching in to make this happen!  I'll keep you posted!  Oh, a friendly reminder to be sure to do your summer reading (20-30 mins a day). :)

Buddha Boards!

A student had a great idea for the art room...Buddah Boards!  She and I co-wrote a PTO grant that was approved and they arrived today!  Look for them next year in the art room, OT room, and other programs!

Principal For the Day

My name is Remsen Demeo and I am the Principal for the Day today.  I had a great day at the PTO meeting, observing my teacher, and making some really cool decisions.  One of the best parts was having a hot chocolate to kick off the workday.  Another thing that was cool was wearing a badge that got me in and out of the school building like the teachers!

One of the decisions I made was to have two fun dress up days next week.  Information is below…

Monday, June 16th will be SPORTS DAY!  Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite sports team jersey or t-shirt to school…even the teachers!

Wednesday, June 18th will be OPPOSITE DAY at school.  This means that the teachers will dress as students and the students will dress up as teachers!  

I hope to see all of the kids and staff dressed up next Monday and Wednesday!

Sincerely,

Remsen Demeo

MMES Read-a-thon!

On June 11th, Memorial School students and staff will dedicate the day to READING!  Every class will participate in the first ever MMES READ-A-THON!  This event has special meaning to our school community because funds raised by the Read-a-thon will support the "Memorial Reading Garden Fund" in memory of Joyce C. Swedberg, our friend and dedicated teacher. Currently, plans are being developed to create a "Reading Garden" for the entire school community to enjoy as a lasting memorial to Mrs. Swedberg's commitment and dedication to our children.

 

Look in backpack mail this week for Read-a-thon Information and Sponsor Sheet!

Ahoy!

Just some of our fourth-grade "skippers" out on the Ardelle today in Gloucester Harbor...no big deal!    Thank you to Gloucester Maritime for these great learning experiences for our students! 

"1-2-3...PULLLLLL!"
