Memorial named a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School
As I sent out earlier this week we were recognized as one of the National Blue
Ribbon Schools for 2021. We are very proud of our students and staff that made this possible. We also recognize our parent community who supports us and supports education in Bedford. We are blessed to be in this community where education is so highly valued and everyone's hard work is acknowledged. We will recognize our staff and students and their successes throughout the year and will be planning a school-wide culminating celebration this spring.
