Holiday Help

I wish to thank all of you who have signed up to support our 2017 Adopt-A-Family Program. The generosity in this community is outstanding.   Almost every item is spoken for.  We have just a few left.  The link below brings you to our Adopt-A-Family Website.

Thank you all

Hour of Code

Hour of Code continues with select classes this week.  It is an annual worldwide event that allows students to try out coding for an hour and to show that everyone can learn the basics of computer coding. Each class in Memorial, from K-4, has taken part in this experience at some point over the past 2 weeks.

If you'd like to try an Hour of Code at home you can go to https://hourofcode.com/us/learn to choose an activity.

Grade 4 Ellis Island Reenactment

As mentioned last week Mrs. Schmitt and our fourth grade teachers provided an Ellis Island experience for our fourth graders. We have a few pictures linked here for you to view.  

Bedford PTG

Last Minute Holiday Shopping? Every time you buy on Amazon, you can support the Bedford PTG.  Simply visit AmazonSmile and select “Bedford NH PTG” as the organization that you’d like to support.  Now, every time you shop at smile.amazon.com, Amazon will donate a percentage to the Bedford PTG.

Coming in January…Principal Winter Reading Night, Barnes and Noble Days, and Yankee Candle! Stay tuned for more details.

BEEP Playdate

• Where: Nuthin’ But Good Times: 746 Daniel Webster Hwy, Merrimack, NH
• When: December 20th from 3:00 to 4:30
• Who: BEEP Students and Parents

• Cost: $7 per child and parents/guardians are free.

They are providing a free room, and allowing you to bring your own snacks.  The snack must be peanut free. They need a deposit to ensure us the time, space and price so I am asking anyone who would like to attend to RSVP to me (Miss Emily) by sending in the $7 in an envelope with your child’s name on it by Tuesday December 6th . Please send in cash only. Your classroom teacher will ensure I get it. If you can, please bring only your BEEP student for this event, that would be best. If you need to bring siblings, the cost is $7 per additional child. Please email with any questions blahnike@bedfordnhk12.net
