What an exciting week at Memorial! For the first time ever, students in grade one participated in the Hour of Code along with millions of other students around the world. Led by Mrs. Groden, with assistance from Mrs. Redding, Mrs. Manuel and the classroom teachers, the kids used iPads to program their characters to walk, jump, and speak. It was amazing to watch their perseverance and excitement. Check out a few of the pictures from one of the classes.
Memorial School's Family Literacy night last spring accepted donations in lieu of an event fee for the Timothy's Toybox Program based out of Framingham. This program supplies toys and books to 60+ area children in need at the holidays. Last year's donations amounted to $158.00. First grade families in Mrs Paget's Class made additional, voluntary donations in lieu of teacher holiday gifts to the program or supported it via their Scholastic book orders. Bonus points earned from the class book orders were donated to the program in the form of free books. The children in Mrs Paget's class made suggestions of good books to purchase for the children in the program. Approximately 150 books were purchased with the funds which provided 1-3 new books for each child on the TTB list. Below are some pictures of the first graders in Mrs Paget's class assisting with the sorting and labeling of the books to prepare them for their December 3rd delivery to Sharon and Timothy Gilbert of Framingham, the mother-son team who run the program.
Pokemon Cards
Over the past several weeks, there have been a number of issues surrounding Pokemon cards. Instances of lost, misplaced and taken cards as well as trading are resulting in hurt feelings and classroom investigation time. As a result, we are asking that Pokemon cards be left at home. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
Have a wonderful weekend and as always, thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Missy Bilsborough
Memorial School Principal
