Congratulations to one of our Memorial School Volunteers
This past Wednesday Volunteer NH held the 17th annual Spirit of NH Awards Night. We are very proud that the 2019 Spirit of NH Award went to Tom Fencil. Tom spends a great deal of time volunteering for Home Health and Hospice Care but has also been volunteering at Memorial School for the past 5 years. Tom works primarily with our third graders in Ms. Wroblewski and Ms. Murray's classrooms now but has also worded with fourth grade. Congratulations Mr. Fencil!

Reminders
November Holiday Letter from Mrs. Cook and Ms. Hodgdon
The holiday season is approaching and the excitement is building, as we look forward to happy celebrations with family and friends. This is a busy time for many of us, and children can sometimes become overwhelmed. Eating a healthy diet, getting extra sleep and having some quiet time may help your child to stay healthier.
As your School Nurse and School Counselor, we recognize that holiday anticipation may not be joyful for all students and families, and instead brings stress, fear and even sadness. As always, our school community is here to assist you, if needed. Please let us know if you are in need of assistance.
Through the generous donations of others in our school community, we can help. If you know someone that may be having difficulty, please encourage them to let us know. All assistance is confidentially given. We hope that all Memorial children who celebrate this time of year can experience wonderful memories to share with friends and family.
For those families who would like to help support us during this time of the year, we truly appreciate your generosity. What a wonderful gift you are teaching your own children! Donations may be sent into the nurse’s office.
