Posting one day early today as I wanted to share some of the great photos from today's events and say a huge thank you to all who volunteered their time today! Field Day was a huge success and we would not have been able to do it without your help. I would also like to thank Mr. Grace and Mrs. Gelinas for all of their hard work and planning. The smiles on the kids' faces are a direct result of their
efforts.
Did you know that the Memorial School has its own Makerspace? We do! Thanks to MCPE grants, we have a variety of materials for our students to build, explore and create with and we hope to add more!
What's a Makerspace?
At a recent Curriculum Meeting, Memorial staff members explored our newest additions to the Makerspace. We had some great conversation as to ways to incorporate these materials into classroom instruction. Integrating play and exploration while addressing learning standards will be an ongoing conversation in months to come.

Principal for the Day
I'd like to introduce you to our newest staff member. On Friday, "Principal Aidan" joined me as Principal for the day. He did an outstanding job delivering birthday pencils to all of our students (83!) who celebrate their birthdays during the summer months. In addition, he decided that the students in his class deserved an extra recess making him a very popular principal. Thanks for working hard Aidan!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Sincerely,
Missy B.
