Dear Memorial Families,
Today feels like a steamy summer day. The children and staff have been troopers dealing with very warm classrooms. We have a very busy week next week and are looking forward to seeing you at Open House on Wednesday, September 14th. Please remember there is plenty of parking at the church across the street.

Guidance Message
Week of September 6:
September 7: Peacemaker Challenge: Greet people quietly in the hallways, out at recess, or in the cafe. When we see people throughout our day, it is polite and respectful to acknowledge their presence by greeting them.
September 9: Your Peacemaker Challenge for today and every day is to have good manners at the table, whether at school, home, a friend’s house or out in the community. Good table manners are another way to show respect toward others. When we practice good manners every day, we get into the habit of having good manners always. If you would like to know more about teaching manners to kids, visit: http://www.parents.com/kids/
Thank You!
Thank you to all the families that have been parking at the church once the spaces are full on our lot. I know it is not the most convenient parking but sincerely appreciate you helping to make our parent pick-up safer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
