Our Memorial Elementary kindergarteners in Mrs. Dejongh have been busy little elves! Last week, they combined their learning about 3D shapes with some holiday cheer. The students created their very own Christmas tree using cones! 🎄
It was wonderful to see their creativity shine as they decorated their unique trees. They're so proud of their work, and so are we! Check out our amazing architects and their festive masterpieces! 🎄

PE TURKEY TROT! 🦃🏃♂️🏃♀️
Friday, Nov 21st was a BIG day for our Patriots! Memorial Elementary held its very first PE Turkey Trot under Coach Riffle and Coach Hitchcock, and our students showed up READY to run! Each grade level came out during their specials time and gave it their all on the track.
🎖️ We celebrated the Top 3 Boys and Top 3 Girls in each grade level with small prizes for their awesome effort and sportsmanship.
🏅 And EVERY student who participated earned a Turkey Trot ribbon and a popsicle, thanks to our wonderful sponsors and donations that helped make this event possible.
The smiles, the encouragement, the teamwork—today was what PE is all about! ❤️💙
We can’t wait to build on this tradition. This was the first… but definitely not the last. The Turkey Trot will only get bigger and better each year!
🦃💨 Great job, Patriots! Let’s keep moving, keep smiling, and keep building healthy habits together!
