We had a great four day week at Marshall! There is NO SCHOOL TOMORROW - IT IS FALL BREAK!
Thanks to Hanover and Reily Township Fire Departments who came out to teach fire safety to our preschool - 1st graders this week. The students loved it! We got to end the week with our Fall PTG Fundraiser incentive. Thanks to Mrs. Krausher, Mrs. Croucher, Mrs. Rolfes, and Mrs. Jones who were all “WANTED” and twenty five students got to silly string them!
It is getting cooler out. Please send in warmer clothes for your student to wear during recess. Thanks!
