Grinchy Giving Week Begins at Memorial!

Grinchy Giving Week is here! Throughout the week, students are invited to bring donation items that support our annual MMS C.A.R.E.S. baskets for Memorial families in need. This tradition is one of the many ways our community shows kindness, generosity, and Mustang pride during the holiday season.

Thank you, Memorial families, for helping us grow our hearts and care for one another.

At Memorial Middle School, we value Community and the strong relationships built between staff and students. Recently, Ms. Lee gladly accepted a student's request to be his "twin" for the day. Going above and beyond, she created custom pins and purchased matching socks for them both to wear. It is a great reminder that small gestures make a big difference in making students feel valued!

Our Challenger students are diving into ancient Mesopotamia! This week, they explored one of the world’s first written languages—cuneiform—by pressing wedge-shaped symbols into clay tablets. Hands-on learning experiences like this bring history to life and help students connect with cultures from thousands of years ago.
