A Peaceful, Productive, Healthy, and Happy Community

The mission of Marshall Elementary is to work as a community to achieve higher levels of thinking and learning by empowering every learner everyday.  

School News and Information

Happy Friday!  This week we have had great weather and it has been nice to get outside.  We had a wonderful Marshall Mile on Monday.  The students really enjoyed the event.  Thank you Mrs. Sparks for organizing the Marshall Mile and thank you families for coming to cheer on students, provide snacks, and even run with the students.  

Our Marshall School Picnic will be on May 25th.  Families are invited to share lunch with their student(s) during our regular lunch/recess times.  A few things to note about this year’s picnic:

• Please use any available spaces in the front and upper parking lots first.  Overflow parking will be made available on the old playground near the shelter.  

• This will be a true picnic so bring a blanket/sheet to eat on the lawn (gym floor if it rains).  Tables will be provided for those with physical limitations.  

• Reservation forms were due last week if you wanted to order lunch for you or siblings who do not attend Marshall.  If you did not submit an order please feel free to bring your lunch and join us.

IMPORTANT Mayfest Information from the PTG

Mayfest is in 1 week - May 20 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.  We need many volunteers to make this a successful event.  It helps when 1 family member volunteers to work a game, while another family member walks their child(ren) around.  Please use this sign up genius link to volunteer.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E094DA4A92BA6FB6-mayfest

We are also collecting donations for the auction baskets and games - please check out the attached letters for each grade level.  Also included is the preorder form for Unlimited Inflatables bracelets. It would be helpful to send in your pre orders and donations early next week (by Wednesday if possible) so that we can be prepared for Friday.
