It has been a very exciting week here at Memorial! Thank you to all who helped plan and execute our daily fun in honor of Read Across America week. Smiling faces and enthusiastic readers could be found in every classroom!
North Street Parking Lot
Parents dropping off or picking up their children via the North Street parking lot are asked to pull to the right upon entering the lot and circling around to an open parking space. There have been a couple of close calls lately as cars entering are pulling to the left and directly into a parking space. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Read Across America Fun!
On Tuesday, we kicked-off Read Across America week with two assemblies. We sang songs, learned some interesting facts about Dr. Seuss, and recited the Reader's Oath as a school. Thank you to the CSA for decorating the Memorial School in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday!
Our kindergarten and first graders have been practicing the "Read Across America" song and performed it along with "Teaching Peace" wonderfully. Thank you to Mr. Ruggerio for all of his help and guidance!
Thank you to the following first grade students for sharing Dr. Seuss facts at our assemblies. They all did an outstanding job!

Dr. Seuss’ real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel.
Dr. Seuss was born on March 2, 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Dr. Seuss once said the character of the Grinch is based on himself!
Dr. Seuss has written and illustrated 44 children’s books.
The very first book that Dr. Seuss wrote was And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street.
Did you know there is a Theodore Seuss Geisel award given each year to an American book written for beginning readers?
On Wednesday, we were so lucky to have special readers from the community take time out of their busy schedules to come and read. Thank you to all of the volunteers. We loved hearing the stories that you read!
Thursday was "Crazy Fox in Socks Day"!!!
We can't wait for tomorrow's special visitor! Don't forget to wear your red and white!
