From the Desk of Mrs. Jacqueline Johnson:

Great things are happening at our Memorial City School and we are proud to deliver to

you excellence in academics and excellence in creating a positive school climate. We ended our

month on Friday with “Houses” which is a school wide monthly program that has our senior

students acting as leaders for grades K to 6 students. Positive character traits such as

responsibility, courage and trustworthiness are celebrated with students winning awards and

with activities planned to focus on these traits. We have student leaders, a media crew,

photographers, a set up crew and student MCs who help to run the program. All of the students

in our school take part and we are developing great leadership skills in our senior students.

Next House Day is on Monday, November 28 at 1:30. Please consider joining us for this great

program at Memorial City.

We also look forward to meeting families on Thursday, November 3 and Friday,

November 4 for Progress Report Interviews. Middle School interviews for grade 6/7 to grade 8

will be held in the auditorium from 3:30 until 6:00 and on Friday morning. Please contact your

child’s teacher for more information.

There are both students and staff at Memorial who have allergies to nuts and products containing nuts. Some of these allergies are serious enough to be life threatening. These severe allergies can lead to anaphylaxis. To make the school environment as safe as possible, we ask that no products containing nuts be sent to the school. This in-cludes not only snacks to be shared with the whole class, but also private snacks and lunches. Please read the la-bels of store bought products as many contain nuts as ingredients or in trace amounts.

We do not claim that Memorial is a “nut free” school, as we cannot guarantee that products never enter the building. We do however call ourselves a “nut safe” school as we endeavour to monitor all food in the building.

Memorial School is also a scent fee zone due to allergies. Please help us keep the air we share with staff and stu-dents healthy and fragrance free. Please do not wear perfume, cologne, aftershave and other fragrances.

MEMORIAL IS A NUT SAFE AND FRAGRANCE FREE SCHOOL
