Hello Marshall Families,

I hope everyone is enjoying a nice, long, restful weekend. Love and friendship were in the air this week at Marshall. We had all kinds of fun Valentine's celebrations going on in our classrooms and around the school.

Hi-Cap testing will be coming up later this month for all 1st and 5th grade students and any students who have been referred. Be on the lookout for more information.

For your information, just as with cell phones and other personal electronic devices, bluetooth headphones are not allowed at Marshall. Students may have plug-in headphones to use with their computers. Bluetooth headphones will be treated as cellphones and will be expected to be put away in backpacks at the start of the school day, and remain there until the end of the day. Students with bluetooth headphones will have them confiscated and they will be held in the office. Multiple confiscations will result in the parent needing to come to the office to retrieve the headphones.

Don't forget this week is a short week with no school on Monday the 16th in celebration of President's Day. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Warmly,

Jamie Whobrey

Principal

Buddy Bench Coming to Marshall

We are excited to explore a new way to help students feel connected, supported, and included: the Buddy Bench. A Buddy Bench is a simple but powerful idea, a special place on the playground where students can sit if they’re looking for a friend, someone to play with, or just a moment of kindness. When classmates see someone on the bench, they know it’s their chance to reach out and invite them to join in.

We believe this small addition can make a big difference in building a culture of empathy and friendship. By teaching students how to look out for one another, we’re helping them develop the social and emotional skills that make our school a welcoming place for everyone.

We have been revamping the entry of our building and since we already had a bench created for outdoor use, we found a thoughtful way to repurpose our Nurse Pat memorial bench. We are thrilled that Nurse Pat's legacy can live on in helping create meaningful friendships for our students. You will be able to find our buddy bench under the overhang near C-Pod. A great spot, out of the rain, that is visible from the entire playground. It carries one simple but hopeful message: Sit a while, make a friend.
