Student Council Election Results!!

Today, Memorial Middle School held its elections for student council!  All students that ran for positions on student council are to be congratulated for their willingness to stand in front of their peers and ask for their vote.  Public speaking is extraordinarily difficult and is a testament to their character.   This is an election and not everyone can win.  However, all students that completed an application for a position but did not get elected are invited to be members-at-large and to participate in all of our activities and meetings!

Our first meeting of the year is after school on Monday, September 25, 2017 in the Grade 8 Large Group Room.

Here are the results:

Grade 8 Class President:  Gianna Quatromoni

Grade 8 Class Vice-President:  Ava Brown

Grade 8 Secretary:  Elizabeth Luggelle

Grade 8 Historian: Stella Gianadda

The Grade 8 Class Representative is: Erica McGowan

Patrick Dwyer

Matthew Sullivan

The Grade 6 Class Representatives are:

6th Grade Speaker on Beacon Hill

Congratulations and a tremendous amount of Pirate Pride to grade 6 scholar Kenza Wahman for her visit to the Massachusetts State House! Kenza joined educators, parents, students, and legislators who testified on Beacon Hill on Sept. 12 in favor of a bill that would make significant changes in state education policy. "We look forward to recess like adults look forward to a coffee break,” Kenza said. This bill mandates recess for grades K-5, encourages more learning time in history and civics, and promotes community collaboration for underperforming schools. Kudos to Kenza for speaking up on behalf of her peers!

                                                               

Substance Abuse Prevention Presentation at Open House!!

Stephanie Masland, from the Hull Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Abuse; Judy Kuehn, Assistant Superintendent; and SRO Sean Fahey work together to educate Memorial Middle School parents about the signs and signals of substance abuse in their children.

For those that missed last nights presentation at Memorial Middle School's Open House, please join us at Hull High school at 7:00 pm tonight, Wednesday, September 13th to hear the brief presentation and to view the display.  

This presentation, Hidden in Plain Sight, is sponsored the Hull Alliance for the Prevention of Substance Addiction. Parents are invited to search a staged student bedroom to educate themselves about signs of alcohol and drug use that may be “hidden in plain sight.” The program will include 60+ props that could potentially signal substance abuse. Emerging local drug use trends will be highlighted. The goal of this initiative is to enlighten parents and to encourage them to have honest and candid discussions with their children about substance abuse.
