Memorial students and staff once again answered the school's motto, "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve" as they competed in the Penny Power challenge. Students and staff participated to see which homeroom could collect the most pennies.
Congratulations to Mrs. Eckel's 7th grade homeroom who collected over $240 in pennies!
When the pennies from all homerooms were combined, Memorial was able to generously donate $1,238 to Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon. Mrs. Krutchkoff visited Memorial on Friday during the annual Hoops for Humanity event to accept the donation on behalf of all the volunteers at Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon.
Well done, Memorial Falcons!
Eighth graders at Memorial visited the Holocaust Museum & Center for Tolerance and Education at Rockland Community College for a day of learning and reflection. A special thank you to Mr. Khoudja for organizing such a wonderful experience, and Ms. Lipke for hosting our students and providing a personalized tour of the museum. Students also participated in an outstanding Moral Courage workshop, led by Ms. Suss, which challenged our students to ask themselves, "What would you do?" and to "Become a Truth Seeker".
We look forward to returning again next week with another group of Memorial 8th grade students.

Memorial Middle School continues to celebrate and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the construction of our Dream Towers as we continue our “Do Something Challenge”. Students and staff used this opportunity to have meaningful conversations and to reflect on what it means to drive positive change through the power of connection. We have already received hundreds of clouds, with each cloud representing the dream of a Memorial student or staff member, and more clouds are still being added.
Happy Lunar New Year! 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. Memorial’s World Culture Club celebrated Lunar New Year this week as they demonstrated the dragon dance. It is believed that the dragon dance drives away evil and ushers in good luck for the community.
