Talent Show Auditions: Dec 15, 16, 19
Auditions for the Memorial Mustang Talent Show will be held in the Choir Room after school on December 15, 16, and 19. We are looking for talent acts and emcees! No sign-up is necessary; students should line up in the Music Hallway ready to perform. Students not in choir who are interested in Stage Crew should speak with Mr. Wipf or Ms. Tvedt.
At Memorial Middle School, building Community happens both inside and outside the classroom! 🏫💚
We know that finding a sense of belonging is crucial for middle school success. That’s why we are proud to offer a variety of clubs where students can meet friends who share their specific interests.
Whether your student is a gamer, an artist, or a storyteller, there is a place for them here: ⛏️ Minecraft Club 🎲 Board Game Club ✨ Low Key Legends ✍️ Creative Writing Club 🎨 Art Club
Encourage your Mustang to listen to the daily announcements for meeting times and locations. It’s a great way to get involved and make new friends!

On November 19, 2025, Memorial Middle School joins the nation in celebrating Education Support Professionals (ESP) Day. This day is dedicated to honoring the staff members who work tirelessly to ensure our students are safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
Our ESPs are essential members of our Mustang Community. We are grateful for their commitment to Excellence and their invaluable contributions to our school.
At Memorial Middle School, we value Community and the strong relationships built between staff and students. Recently, Ms. Lee gladly accepted a student's request to be his "twin" for the day. Going above and beyond, she created custom pins and purchased matching socks for them both to wear. It is a great reminder that small gestures make a big difference in making students feel valued!
Our Challenger students are diving into ancient Mesopotamia! This week, they explored one of the world’s first written languages—cuneiform—by pressing wedge-shaped symbols into clay tablets. Hands-on learning experiences like this bring history to life and help students connect with cultures from thousands of years ago.
