I am pleased to announce the results from last weeks Read-a-thon. Memorial Middle school students read for a total of 78,614 minutes. This is almost 20,000 minutes more than last year. We also raised just over $700 which is $200 more than last year. Thank you to all of our students, families, and those that donated for their support the PTO and the programs they provide to our students.
