Maine Memorial had our first in a series of career speakers this morning at 4th and 5th grade morning program. We had two former Maine Memorial students speak about their careers: Ben Taylor, Director of Technology at ME and former Spanish teacher and Jen Kollar, Cosmetologist and salon owner. The kids were enthusiastic and asked lots of questions! We’re looking forward to our future speakers. Any former Maine Memorial students who would be interested in presenting should contact Jim Tokos at jtokos@me.stier.org

Mrs. Buckley's second graders are spreading holiday cheer by making cards for 'Be a Santa to a Senior" at Home Instead Senior Care. They also adopted a senior to get gifts for.




On Tuesday afternoon, Cornell Cooperative Extension's Ag in the Classroom visited Homer Brink primary sequence students. The kids learned how to make gingerbread Play-Doh.




Homer Brink's 9 Days of Holiday Spirit!

Second Grade students at MM recently finished their Narrative Writing unit. What better way to celebrate than sharing their writing with 2nd grade students from other classrooms. The students crafted small moment stories that told about a meaningful moment in their life. Students had a great time publishing their books and creating a classroom book for others to read.
