Memorial PTO

Welcoming Committee


The purpose of this committee is to help ease the transition of new students and their families to Memorial School in a variety of ways throughout their first year at the school. We help connect the new students to other students in their class or grade, provide a “go-to-person” for the family and information on school events.  Currently we need volunteers who have one or more of the following: Kindergarten boy, 1st grade girl, 2nd grade girl, 3rd grade boy, 4th grade girl, and/or 5th grade boy.  Further, the committee needs someone to head up the Kindergarten popsicle party and Helping Hands program taking place the end of August and 1st week of school.
 

The primary responsibility of a committee member is to contact families assigned to them and arrange to meet with them and their children during the summer.  It is more helpful to new families to have this contact soon after they move or register to attend Memorial School.  Some families will not arrive until the very end of summer, and we can accommodate them more easily if we have been greeting our families as they arrive in Manchester.  If you are typically away all summer, or a large portion of it, this is not the committee for you.  The most important thing we do is try to make sure that a new child has at least one familiar face on the first day of school.

 

There are 4 events committee members are expected to attend all taking place in August and September.  In addition you would be expected to attend one or two meetings.  For further details about these events or other questions about the committee, contact Tanya Stubbs at tlsbythesea@aol.com or 978-525-2222.
