Dear Memorial Families,
What a great week it's been so far! Thank you to our amazing PTO for making Read Across America week so much fun. The building looks amazing!
Don't forget that parent/teacher conferences begin next week. On Tuesday, March 8th, we will have an early dismissal for our extended day preschoolers and a.m./full day kindergarten students. There will be no p.m. preschool. We look forward to seeing you.
Read Across America Week at Memorial
On Tuesday we gathered as a school to kick off Read Across America week and to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. The following students each stood up in front of the whole school and read a special fact about Dr. Seuss. Awesome job boys and girls!

Mary-Clare Thorpe
Meigs Dorscheimer
Emma Gorham
Kiley Weafer
Ryan Healey
Jack Blake
Hadleigh Spears
To wrap up the assembly, we all recited the Reader's Oath and sang "Read Across America" led by Mr. Ruggerio.
Wednesday was our guest reader day. Thank you to all of our special guests who took time out of their day to visit the Memorial and share a story.
Thursday was crazy "Fox in Socks" day!
We can't wait for tomorrow! There will be a special visitor and everyone is encouraged to wear their Red and White.
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.

Last week a yellow flyer went home in your child's backpack outlining our needs for the Winter Carnival Baskets and Raffle. There are various ways that you can help: donating an item for a particular basket, contributing gift cards, or simply sending in a check to "Medfield Winter Carnival." With any contribution you receive a free raffle ticket for the GO PRO that is being raffled off at the carnival.
