Box Top News
To date Memorial Families have clipped and scanned $421.70 worth of Box Tops for our school.  Box Tips is still accepting all clipped box tops on participating products.  Please keep sending these in!  If you still haven't downloaded the Box Tips app to your smart phone please consider doing so!  It's quick and easy and the app is user friendly.  Our goal is to reach $1000 by the end of the year so please keep clipping and scanning to help Memorial reach this goal!
Snow Day Lunch Info/AnnouncementsIn the event of additional snow days this winter, we want to let parents know how the district deals with hot lunches the following day. There is no rule of thumb when determining the lunch menu on the day following a snow day as the menu for that day is dependent upon what was on the menu the day of the snow day, what prep the kitchen had to do, and what fresh produce the kitchen had ordered. Therefore, our district’s Food Service Director (Emily Murphy) provides an announcement on the SAU’s website (www.sau25.net) in the District News box, which will detail, by school, what the hot lunch offering will be the day following the snow day. This information will be available the day of the snow day.
