Thank you to our amazing PTO for treating our staff to a delicious breakfast and much-needed coffee this morning! We are so grateful for your generosity and support!

Hard hats on—it’s time to build! Students in Mrs. Grant's room transformed into construction crews as they built fact family houses, laying a strong foundation for math success one fact family at a time. Great job, builders!

Teamwork makes the dream work! Students had a blast practicing coordination and teamwork during a cup stacking challenge in PE.

Don’t forget! No school for students tomorrow as we will be having Parent-Teacher Conferences! We look forward to partnering with our Love Memorial families as we continue growing our students together!

What a wonderful way to kick off another great year at Love Memorial! 🎉 A special thank you to Riverview and Southside Baptist for helping make our Back to School Bash such a memorable evening. Despite the rain, our Love Memorial family came together for an evening full of fun, food, fellowship, and exciting door prizes. The weather couldn’t stop our students from having a great time—they embraced the rain and made memories while playing outside with their friends. We are so thankful for the continued support of our community partners and everyone who helped make this event a success!

PTO General Meeting

As we wrap up Arts in Education Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the creativity happening in our art room! Thank you to our wonderful art teacher for encouraging our students to imagine, create, and grow every day. We appreciate you Mrs. H!

Don’t forget—our Back-to-School Bash is happening today! 🎉 We can’t wait to see our Love Memorial families for an evening of fun, community, and school spirit. Check out the flyer below for all the event details. See you there!

Today our students celebrated Constitution Day by learning about the document that shaped our nation and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship!🇺🇸

🍎 Today, Mrs. Parks’ class became apple farmers as they were introduced to their very first multiplication strategy: equal groups! Students “harvested” apples to build equal groups and model multiplication problems, discovering that multiplication is about creating groups with the same number in each one. Hands-on learning makes new math concepts meaningful, and our farmers had a great harvest today!

Arts in Education Week may only last a week, but we’re celebrating all month long! 🎨 Our students are putting their art knowledge to the test with an Artist Showdown bracket in art class! Each week, they’ll learn about two influential artists, compare their contributions, and vote on who they believe made the greatest impact on the world of art. From Pablo Picasso to Leonardo da Vinci and many more, this friendly competition is helping students discover the artists who have shaped history while strengthening their appreciation for creativity, culture, and self-expression. Who do you think will take the championship? 🖌️🏆

Wear your red, white and blue in memory of 9/11.

Let’s partner up and pave the way for our students' futures! 🌟

Love Memorial was proudly represented at last night’s Board of Education meeting! Congratulations to our staff members who were recognized for their student-focused collaboration and our school’s growth. Your dedication, teamwork, and commitment to our students make a difference every day. We’re also so proud of our two outstanding fourth graders for leading the Pledge of Allegiance with confidence and pride. Way to represent our school, girls!

Being in school adds up! Missing just two days each month can put a student at risk of falling behind academically. Every day in the classroom is another opportunity to learn, grow, and connect. Be here. Keep learning. Keep moving forward. #BeHereLCS #BeHereLoveMemorial

Every great school day starts with a great team! This Labor Day, we’re celebrating our Morning Nutrition Team! These student leaders help our young learners get their breakfast, make sure they have everything they need, and help keep the cafeteria running smoothly each morning. Their kindness, responsibility, and willingness to serve others help create a calm, welcoming start to the day for everyone. We’re so proud of the difference they make before the first bell even rings! ❤️

Attendance Matters Awareness

Math was in the cards today!

Mrs. Burgess’ first graders had a blast putting their math skills to the test during a friendly card game competition! We loved watching them problem-solve, practice their skills, cheer each other on, and have FUN while learning!

Learning + laughter + teamwork = a winning combination
