Smart Lunch Memorial is pleased to introduce a new grant program funded by the Howell Municipal Alliance. SMART LUNCH is an academically driven, failure-prevention program. The goal of SMART LUNCH is to provide at-risk students with a daily opportunity to work on current/missing homework during their lunch periods. Students would be referred to SMART LUNCH by their teachers, who would establish their own classroom criteria for the number of missed assignments. Students would attend SMART LUNCH on an “as needed” basis. Students that also feel they need to complete missed assignments can attend without teacher permission. This program would be limited to a maximum of 12 students per lunch period and is offered at Memorial Middle School on Tuesday and Thursday during every lunch period. For additional information; please contact the guidance department. Students of the MonthHowell Memorial Middle School would like to recognize the following students for becoming our Students of the Month.
