The Manchester Memorial Elementary School PTO strives to complement and enhance classroom instruction through external enrichment programming. Working with teachers in each grade, the PTO funds and/or  facilitates age-appropriate programs in music, science, culture, the arts, literature, and the environment - just to name a few!
 
MMPTO programs are a mix of beloved and much anticipated favorites that inspire our children immensely each year. With equal focus throughout the year, MMPTO also seeks new enriching wonders to bring to our children at Memorial Elementary.

Thanks to the generous support of the Spaulding Education Fund, this year Manchester Memorial students will receive a copy of the book Gaston written by Kelly DiPucchio.  This is a heartwarming story about belonging, acceptance, and family. 
1st Annual Poetry Cafe
Memorial's first POETRY CAFE was a  big hit with a night of creative words from our students, parents, and teachers. A poetry workshop for the 4th and 5th grades will complement this event.
