At Memorial Middle School, we believe in celebrating academic excellence, fostering student confidence, and strengthening our ties with the community. Our recent Scripps Spelling Bee was a testament to all of this and more.
Our scholars stepped up to the challenge, demonstrating not only their linguistic prowess but also their resilience and determination. The competition was intense, with students showcasing their dedication and preparation. Every participant should be incredibly proud of their performance—they truly embodied the spirit of perseverance and excellence that we strive to instill at Memorial Middle School.
But this event was about more than just words—it was about the power of community. We were honored to have distinguished guests in attendance who supported our scholars and inspired them with words of encouragement. A heartfelt thank you to WBOE member Dr. Denise King, Mayor Samantha Whitfield, and Deputy Mayor Dr. Tiffani A. Worthy. Their presence was more than symbolic; they spoke life into our students, reinforcing the importance of education, hard work, and self-belief. Their unwavering support strengthens the bridge between our school and the broader community, fostering partnerships that will continue to benefit our scholars.
The energy in the room was electric, with families, staff, and community members coming together to celebrate our students. Seeing so many people rally behind our young scholars was a powerful reminder of what makes Memorial Middle School unique. We are more than a school—we are a family, a community, and a place where students are empowered to grow and succeed.
Congratulations to all our participants and our winner, Benjamin Moses! This event was a shining example of what happens when students, educators, and the community unite with a shared vision for excellence. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to create opportunities for our students to shine.
At Memorial Middle School, we Adapt, Believe, and Connect—because together, we are unstoppable.
