Dear Memorial Families,
The weather has finally cooled off and we are all thankful for the change. It seems like every week is busy at Memorial School. In addition to the great things that go on every day, Sigmund Brouwer was here today talking to our students about reading and writing. It was great to see so many of our Memorial Families at our open house on Wednesday. I hope you and your family enjoy the weekend.

This is a great way to donate/recycle old clothes, while helping raise funds for our teams who advance to Global Finals each year. You can put any kind of fabrics in these bins, towels and stuffed animals too. Ripped shirts and pants with holes are fine, as well as well worn shoes. Bedford DI greatly appreciates your continued participation in this program.

Memorial School is happy to announce that we have joined the Crayola ColorCycle program! Through this program, used markers (ANY plastic marker - Crayola, dry erase, highlighters, etc) are collected and shipped to Crayola to be re-purposed into many different items. And it's free! Crayola even pays for the shipping!
Our Crayola dropbox is located just outside the main office - please feel free to drop off any and all dried out markers. Questions? See Mrs. Schmitt for more information.
