We had such a wonderful visit from the Chick-fil-A Million Book Give Away on September 29th! Our students loved having them visit!

As part of their commitment to fostering literacy, every student in our daycare received five brand new books to take home, along with a coupon for free food at their restaurant. What a generous gift!

This giveaway is part of the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, a national high school leadership program. The goal of the initiative is to donate one million books annually to underserved youth and spark a love of reading and imagination for young children. High school students in the Leader Academy package and deliver the book kits to local elementary schools, daycares, and non-profits like ours! We are so grateful for their service and dedication to our community's youth.

Happy National Coffee Day on Monday! ☕

The Memorial Elementary School PTO celebrated our amazing teachers and staff today by bringing in The Brew Crew, a fantastic local coffee truck! Our dedicated educators and staff enjoyed a refreshing and much-deserved drink to kick off their day.

It was wonderful to see the smiles on everyone's faces as they grabbed their favorite coffee, tea, or specialty beverage. We believe in showing our appreciation for all the hard work and passion our teachers pour into our students every single day. Moments like these help us all feel connected and energized! A huge thank you to The Brew Crew for making it such a special treat, and to our incredible PTO for organizing this thoughtful gesture!

In 2nd grade, we wrapped up our Knowledge Unit by celebrating Chinese New Year!✨🧧

Students rotated through 4 fun stations held by our teachers: creating a dragon craft 🐲, discovering their Chinese zodiac animal 🐇🐯, writing their names in Chinese ✍️, and learning the history of the fortune cookie (with a tasty sample, of course! 🥠). Such a fun way to learn and celebrate Early Asian Civilizations together!
