Lost and Found
Memorial Spaulding has a Lost and Found! It is located right inside the front door. As of last check it is still pretty empty, but as the year goes on it gets very full. This year we are going to try to keep it more manageable. We are engaging the help of some students to take pictures and return any labeled items to students. Those pictures will be posted here and on the Facebook group. We will donate the items in the lost and found in January and again at the end of the year.
Please label your child’s clothes, lunch boxes, and water bottles. Especially items that come off and on during the course of the day like sweatshirts, jackets, and hats. There are several places that you can buy labels like Name Bubbles and Mabel’s Labels. A good old Sharpie also works well.
Fall ASCA sign up
The After School Creative Arts program offers a great variety of FUN and UNIQUE afternoon classes that take place right at Memorial Spaulding! Classes are grouped by age and take place once/week. They are a perfect way for kids to explore a favorite activity or discover a new hobby. Course offerings range from basketball to theater to jewelry design and so much more!
ASCA is also the school’s largest fundraiser, and is 100% run by parent volunteers. Please consider supporting our PTO while your child enjoys an amazing after school class with their peers.
The Fall 2019 ASCA session will run from September 23, 2019 – December 20, 2019, exclusive of holidays, vacations, and special early release days. Registration dates are September 9, 2019 – September 16, 2019. Registration will be online ONLY at: memorialspauldingpto.org/registration
Please note that after registration, ASCA will not accept changes, refunds, or add-ons UNLESS your chosen class is cancelled (for example, because of too-low enrollment), in which case you’ll have the opportunity to choose another class. Because of this, please register on time and be sure of your selections.
*** As always, there are limited scholarships available for hardship. Please complete this form http://memorialspauldingpto.org/scholarship/ and send it to asca1@memorialspauldingpto.org before September 9 if you would like to apply. Upon review you will receive a customized discount code for registration so please do not register without this if you are in need of assistance. ***
