Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

As a proud member of this incredible school community for many years, I am excited to welcome everyone as we begin the second half of the school year at Memorial School.

While we have already shared many successes together, there is still so much to look forward to. The energy in our building continues to shine; through engaged conversations in classrooms, smiling faces each morning, and a shared excitement for learning and growth. Whether you have been with us since September or joined us along the way, please know that you are a valued part of our Memorial family.

To our students: We are so proud of all you have accomplished so far and can’t wait to see what you achieve in the months ahead. You inspire us every day with your effort, kindness, and determination, and we believe in your ability to make this part of the year truly meaningful.

To our families: Thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership. Our strong sense of community is what makes Memorial School such a special place, and we are grateful to continue this journey together.

As we move forward, let’s focus on positivity, progress, and celebrating growth; big and small. I am excited for what lies ahead and look forward to making the rest of this school year a great one together!
