Marlow Monday Message
January 26th, 2026
Goooooooooood Evening Marlow Families!!!
We hope you had a safe and warm weekend after the winter weather moved through our area. Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigated the ice storm and extremely cold temperatures. We even lost power at school for a little bit! As a reminder, there will be no school on Tuesday. We will wait and see what Wednesday brings!!
Despite the chilly weather, last week was full of excitement as we celebrated the 100th day of school! It was wonderful to see our students (especially our Kindergarteners) marking this milestone with smiles, creativity, and lots of learning.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and partnership. Please stay warm and safe, and we look forward to welcoming our students back soon.

January 5th - January 28th
Our Marlow K-Kids are excited to sponsor a canned soup drive, benefiting Interfaith Assistance Ministries (IAM) in Henderson County, throughout the month of January. This service project is a wonderful way for our students to give back to our community while learning the importance of kindness and helping others. We appreciate any donations you are able to send in and thank you for supporting our students as they work to make a positive impact.
Until February 11th!
When we return to school, our Marlow K-Kids will be selling candy grams for Valentine’s Day, until February 11. The cost is $0.50 cents each, and each candy gram will be delivered to the student’s classroom by February 13.
This fundraiser will help us support our community needs and school needs.
Please return forms and money in an envelope or Ziploc bag to your child’s teacher.
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING RESPONSE!!!
Our Marlow Community is truly special, and this effort is no different....
This week and moving forward, our Marlow community is coming together to support Oliver, a Marlow kindergarten student who is bravely battling leukemia. This week, all students and staff will receive an “All In for Ollie” bracelet, and we encourage everyone to wear it as a visible sign of support and unity for him and his family.
"Oliver is a courageous little warrior bravely fighting B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Since the very beginning of this journey, he has faced each step with strength far beyond his years. He has recently completed the consolidation phase of treatment, a major milestone, and is preparing to enter interim maintenance next week. Once he reaches maintenance, his protocol is estimated to last about two years—a long road, but one filled with hope, resilience, and determination."
Additional bracelets are available in the Marlow Front Office for families who would like one, joining in as #OneSchool to show our support. All we ask is for a $5 donation per bracelet, and 100% of the proceeds collected will go directly to support Ollie and his family.
Thank you for showing what it truly means to be 'All In for Ollie' and for supporting one another as a Marlow family and school community.
