Greetings Memorial Families,
Sunshine and melting snow!   Does it get better than that? Well...when you add a Curious Creatures presentation, lots of exciting learning and wrap up the week with the Winter Carnival, it sure does!  

On Wednesday, our first graders got a visit from some very curious creatures.  Thank you to the CSA for providing our students with this great program.  We got to see a rabbit, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, tree frogs, turtles, a dragon lizard, a boa constrictor, and even an alligator!  The kids got to touch a few of the animals and ask some great questions.  We were all very excited!

Messages from the CSA...

Dear Parents- This Saturday, March 14th, the Winter Carnival will be held at Memorial School from 10-3.  Thank you to all the parents and teen volunteers who have signed up to help run a booth for a portion of the day.  Between games, bouncy houses, treats, prizes, raffles and crafts, the day promises to have something fun for everyone. We are still accepting donations for our basket raffles, as well as gently used toys for the treasure hunt game. For those who prefer to skip the ticket line on Saturday, we are offering advanced ticket sales. This and all other important information can be found at our website: www.medfieldwintercarnival.com. Remember, all the money raised at this event goes directly back into our schools to enrich the education of our children. Come be part of this fantastic event!

Wheelock School

There are still LOTS of opportunities to get involved at Wheelock . We are actively looking to fill the 2nd Grade Co-President and the Vice President positions. These positions are two-year commitments and are ideally filled by incoming 2nd grade parents. If you have an incoming 2nd grader please consider volunteering on the CSA board. It is not a huge time commitment and it allows you to be directly be involved in the school CSA decisions for funding to the school, town-wide CSA meetings, meeting other involved parents and getting to know the lovely school principal, Mrs. Olson! Both positions will have a direct hand-off and appropriate training. 

Memorial Security Reminder...
Please remember that all visitors to Memorial must enter and exit through the main door at the front of the building and need to sign in and out in the main office. In addition, please be mindful about letting others in to the building if they have not been buzzed in by a member of the office staff. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Mark Your Calendars!

On Tuesday, March 17th, there will be an early dismissal for students due to staff professional development.  There will be no p.m. kindergarten.

Enjoy the remainder of the week and I hope to see you at the Winter Carnival!

Sincerely,
Missy Bilsborough
Memorial Principal
