Marsh Monday Message

He had drumsticks.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Laozi

Gators, every great achievement starts somewhere! You don't have to have everything figured out, and you don't have to accomplish everything all at once. Whether you're working toward a better grade, learning a new skill, making a new friend, or overcoming a challenge, success begins with one small step. Keep showing up, keep trying, and don't give up when the journey gets tough. Remember, progress happens one step at a time. Believe in yourself, take that first step, and keep moving forward!

Great things are ahead, Gators! Just take the first step!

November is a time to recognize, celebrate, and honor the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native American and Indigenous peoples. Native American communities have shaped our nation's history and continue to make important contributions to our communities, arts, science, education, and so much more.

This month is an opportunity to learn about the diverse Native American tribes, their traditions, languages, stories, and accomplishments. Remember, Native American cultures are not just part of our history; they are living, thriving communities that continue to shape our world today.

Gators, take time this month to learn something new, celebrate different cultures, and appreciate the many voices and traditions that make our community special!

If you placed orders for the fundraiser, your items and prizes will be available for pick up after school on November 12th in the MPR. Make sure to plan ahead to deliver or store your items, especially if they need to be kept frozen or cold!

The Chico Salvation Army Corps serves over 200 housed families each week. With your support, we can help feed the community of Butte County. Marsh is proud to be one of the locations that items can be donated. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Gators please bring an extra set of clothes to put in your PE locker, the weather will be changing and mud puddles will happen. It is always good to have a clean pair of clothing just in case.

Even though the weather is cooling down please make sure you have a water bottle and are getting enough water to drink throughout the day.

We have multiple opportunities for students who need help completing assignments or getting caught up.

Before School Academic Support

Each week, we are tracking our Advisory classroom attendance, and the class with the highest attendance rate at the end of the month will win a DONUT PARTY!

This Week’s Attendance Champion: Diana Abbott – 100%!

Way to go, Mrs. Abbott’s class! Keep up the amazing work!

Gators, remember that November is a short month because of Fall Break, so every single day counts! Make sure you are showing up every day, arriving on time, and ready to learn.

Every student makes a difference, and every day you are here helps your class get one step closer to that donut party!

Let's give a big Gator congratulations to our students who have recently received Positive Office Referrals! These students are demonstrating what it means to live out The Gator Way by being respectful, responsible, and committed to doing their best!

🌟 Na'Kye Gontiz – Mrs. Pappas has noticed how focused Na'Kye has been during Academic Support. It's been awesome watching him tackle his assignments and get things done!

🌟 Colleen Morgan – Colleen consistently makes great choices during advisement. She is respectful, stays focused, and sets a wonderful example for others!

🌟 Ben Spicer – Mrs. Saffarinia has noticed a tremendous improvement in Ben since the beginning of the school year. He is carrying himself with maturity, and we are so proud of the positive changes he is making!

Way to go, Gators! We are proud of you! Keep up the great work, making positive choices, and showing everyone what it means to be a Marsh Gator!

Gators, remember that all electronic devices need to be turned off and put away in your backpack (not your pocket) during the school day.

🐊 That's it for this week's bulletin!

Remember, Gators:

Be Respectful.
Be Responsible.
Be Safe.

And most importantly…

Be the reason someone has a great day at Marsh!

Have a great week, Gators!
