Quote of the Week
Quote Read by: Madelyn Markey
βA journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.β β 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 National American Indian Heritage Month
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!
Fundraiser Pick Up
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!
Spread the Love Food Drive
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.
