Memorial Day Tribute
To commemorate Memorial Day, all of our K-4 students walked to the cemetery Thursday morning. They placed flags along the edges of the roadways and the whole school sang a Patriotic song together in order to pay tribute to the 384 veterans buried there.
In 1945, the town of Bedford voted to establish a memorial for the young men of
Bedford who were serving in the war. Three years later, in 1948, the committee had
not found suitable land nor the money to pay for the memorial. Then, in the spring of 1955, construction began on a new school to reduce overcrowding. The school opened in September of 1955, ten years after the town had decided to pay tribute to our soldiers. It was decided to name the school Memorial School as a tribute to all soldiers from Bedford.
Memorial Day is a holiday in which we remember those soldiers, men and women, who died in active military service. President Ronald Reagan is credited with reviving the practice of honoring Memorial Day and its meaning.

Summer Opportunity
We are excited to share the attached poster for our Suzuki Summer Chamber Group at the Manchester Community Music School. It's a great way to keep students playing their string instrument through the summer with a very low time commitment at a low cost. Tuition assistance is available if need arises.
2019-20 School Calendar
The School Board has approved the 2019-20 School Calendar. Please note The first day for students will be August 27th and the last day of school will be June 12. In the event of snow days, the first 5 we have will not be made up so unless we have 6 or more snow days we will be no later than June 12. This should bring some more predictability to the end of the year for families.
