Memory Work

Parents - Many students mentioned in the Student-Led Conferences that a goal this quarter is to improve their memory grade.  Not only is memory work important for a grade but more importantly we hope by reciting memory work each week that your family is able to discuss the meaning behind the verses and commandments selected for the students.  Please take this opportunity to grow spiritually as a family this quarter and beyond.

Mrs. Brannan has printed the memory work for third quarter in a packet.  Students should have a copy in their binder or a safe place at home where they can work on memory work each day.
Here is a link to the memory work online as well. - Memory Work 2nd Quarter

Thank you for your continued involvement and support this year in 4th grade.
