This Week at Memorial, October 12–16, 2026. Monday: no school, Native American Day. Tuesday: no school, teacher inservice. Wednesday: Butter Braid sample day at lunch. Thursday: picture retake day; cross-country MS Metro Meet at Yankton Trail; 8th grade football A/B vs. Tea Area MS; 7th grade football A/B at Tea Area HS.

Saturday is World Mental Health Day, and it's a good reminder that taking care of our minds matters as much as anything we learn in class. 💚

At Memorial, Community means taking care of others, and that includes checking in. Families, a simple "How are you really doing?" at dinner or in the car can open the door to a great conversation.

If your student could use some extra support, our Student Support team is here to help. Reach out to the front office anytime.

How does your family check in with each other? #MustangsCARE

🧡 Yesterday, Memorial students and staff wore orange.

Orange Shirt Day honors the Indigenous children who were taken to boarding schools — the ones who came home, and the ones who didn't. It began with a story about a little girl whose new orange shirt was taken from her on her first day.

Every child matters. Respect means being kind, and it also means telling the truth about our history. 🧡 #MustangsCARE

Community: take care of others.
It's the first of our CORE values, and it's the one you can see in the hallways every day — an 8th grader walking a lost 6th grader to class, someone saving a seat, a kid picking up something that wasn't theirs.
That's not a poster on the wall. That's just how Mustangs do it. 💚
Which of our CORE values do you see most in your student? #MustangsCARE
