MEM Geography Bee

Each year thousands of students in the US participate in the National Geographic GeoBee. The contest is designed to encourage students' curiosity about the world and give them an opportunity to show their knowledge. Geography questions are developed by the National Geographic Society and include questions about US Geography and world wide geography. The following 4th grade Memorial School students were the finalists in our GeoBee: Matthew R., Adrianna R., Myles C., Eddie B., Damien K., Addie P., Eli P., Chloe L., and Cassie M. 

Matthew R. placed first in out competition and will take an online qualifying test to determine eligibility to compete in our State GeoBee.  
Best of luck to Matthew, and congratulations to all of our finalists this year!

A Safety Message from our Transportation Coordinator (Anne Wiggin)
It has been reported that when some students miss their bus in the morning, their parents are dropping them off at a different bus stop to take the bus to school. Often times, they get out of a parent's vehicle and run up to the bus door from behind the bus. The bus drivers aren't able to see them coming, which creates a very dangerous situation. Moving forward, if students miss their bus, parents will need to bring them to school rather than trying to catch up with the bus.


Krispy Kreme Fundraiser (BHS Prom Committee)
The BHS Prom Committee is holding their annual Krispy Kreme fundraiser. If you would like to pre-order a box (or more) of donuts, please use this link. Pick up is Tuesday, February 11th, at Primary voting from 7 am-7pm. Boxes will also be on sale until donuts run out.
