Memorial Elementary School

📚✨ Exciting Day at Memorial Elementary! ✨📚 Last week, our 4th-grade students had a special visit from The Rotary Club of Avon Park! They shared an inspiring talk and generously donated dictionaries to every single 4th grader. Now, each student has their very own dictionary to keep and use for learning and exploring new words! 📝❤️ A huge THANK YOU to the Rotary Club for their kindness and commitment to supporting education in our community. 💙 #CommunityMatters #ThankYouRotary #MemorialElementaryProud
