March 10, 2016

Dear Memorial Families,

It was a pleasure to see so many of you in attendance for parent/teacher conferences.  We looking forward to meeting with those individuals scheduled for conferences on Wednesday, March 16th. The relationship between school and home is one that we greatly value.  Thank you all for your partnership.



In preparation for the 2016-2017 school year, I would like to welcome you to attend one of the upcoming Principal's Coffees regarding the student placement process.  At the coffee, I will review the process that we use to place students into classrooms.  I will also review the parent input letter including the due date and information that should be included in the letter.

Please join me on Monday, March 21st at 9:30 a.m. in the Memorial Library.
Unable to attend on the 21st?  Come join me at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 23rd and stay for the Memorial PTO meeting at 7:00 p.m.


Mark Your Calendars...
Parent/Teacher Conferences continue next week.  Please keep in mind that March 16th is a half day. Children will be released early.

Melissa Stewart Visit


We are very excited to announce that Melissa Stewart, an award-winning author of more than 150 science books for children, will be visiting our school April 5 and 6. She has always been fascinated by the natural world and is passionate about sharing its beauty and wonder with readers of all ages. Melissa will be presenting to all Memorial students during her two day visit. We are grateful to our PTO for sponsoring this literacy event.

If you would like autographed copies of her books, please see the order form. All orders are due, with payment, by March 16.






Don't Forget! 
The Winter Carnival is this weekend (March 12th).  If you haven't been before, this is an amazing day filled with crafts, games, raffles, yummy treats and so much more! If you have attended in previous years, come and check out the new and exciting rooms and special guests.  The carnival will be open 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.  Hope to see you there!




Memorial Site Council
The Memorial Site Council will be meeting next Thursday, March 17th to finalize the 2016 Memorial survey. Please be on the look out for the link to the survey (coming soon).  Information gleaned from the survey will help to inform the 2016-2017 Memorial School Improvement Plan.



Thank you for reading.  Have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Missy Bilsborough
Memorial Principal
