Tide Pool Field Trip

Our field trip to the tide pools was a blast! The weather was perfect. We found some great sea creatures and learned a lot about ocean life.

In case you are unaware, this was Mr. Papadonis' last tide pool field trip with Memorial School due to him retiring in a few weeks! We will miss him dearly but we are very lucky to gain Ms. Pavlecik as the new Science Center Director. We wish you both the best in your new endeavors!
Thank you for ALL YOU DO and HAVE DONE!!

Planting Cucumbers & Rainforest Animals

We have been so busy in the 1st grade!
As you know, the students planted cucumber seeds and brought them home so you can plant them outside and enjoy yummy cukes this summer.

The rainforest projects came out fantastic!
Enjoy the pictures of both :)

Have you filled out a CORI form, yet?

We are going on our final field trip May 24th to the Marblehead Neck tidepools. We are able to take any parent who wants to come...however, you need to have filled out a CORI and it must come back clean before we can allow you to come. So, if you want to come with us, get to the high school ASAP as the process takes 2-3 weeks.

Drop Off & Dismissal

Student drop off time is 7:55-8:10. PLEASE be sure your child is on time. We begin our day promptly. If your child is not in the classroom by 8:10, he/she will be marked absent, and needs to be signed in by an adult at the office.
Dismissal time starts at 2:10. Please be sure your child knows what bus he/she is going on. If there is a change of plans, please send a note in with your child.
Here is a link to the Memorial bus schedule:

School Lunch

Lunch is $2.50 and milk, juice, or water is $.50. There are also various snacks available from $.25-$.50.
The cafeteria no longer accepts cash. The students have a lunch card that is kept in the classroom.

Here is a link to the menu:

Here is a link to add money to your child's lunch account and see what your child is choosing to eat:

As always, I encourage healthy food and snacks to be brought to school to eat. We have busy days ahead of us and the day is longer compared to Kindergarten. It is important that the students are able to maintain their energy and stay focused :)
