Greetings Memorial Families,

Tomorrow is Digital Learning Day.  Please note that there will be no school for students.  Currently there are 85 sessions, 130 presenters, 50 parents signed up to attend and 40 student volunteers.  We are excited to learn about technology tools that can help support the learning of Memorial students. A HUGE thank you to Kim Cave, Debby Fromen, Neal Sonnenberg, and Diane Horvath for their amazing efforts in planning this day.  Follow #dldmedfield for updates throughout the day.

Pajama Day!
Next Friday, February 12th will be Pajama Day at Memorial.  We are having this special day to celebrate the outstanding success of the PTO Box Top collection thus far this year.   Three lucky students have won gift certificates this year courtesy of the PTO and there are more drawings to come.  We are 50% of the way towards of goal!  As you know. we are planning to use the earnings to purchase a Buddy Bench for the playground.  Please keep the Box Tops coming!

Don't forget...the Boston Bruins/Cradles to Crayons PJ drive is happening now.

Medfield Girl Scouts Troop #74900 is joining with the Boston Bruins and Cradles to Crayons for the 9th annual PJ Drive. The Boston Bruins and Cradles to Crayons are coming together to collect new pajamas for local children living in homelessness and poverty. Troop #74900 has placed a collection box in the Memorial office and will deliver all PJ's to the Bruins at the close of the drive. For every pair of pajamas our school donates, the Boston Bruins will also donate a pair of PJs. This event will run from February 1st through March 15th.

Please note that pajamas must be new and sizes 4T-18.
Thank you in advance!

Next week we are looking forward to the Star Lab visit in Kindergarten.  Be on the look out for some photos of this amazing presentation.

Valentine's Day Parties will be held on Friday, February 12th.  Teachers will be sending information directly to parents regarding classroom specifics.

Thank you for reading.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,

Missy Bilsborough
