Marsh Monday Message

Why don't mummies take vacations?

They're afraid they'll relax and unwind!

Gators, remember that success doesn’t happen overnight! Just like a river slowly cuts through rock, small steps and consistent effort can lead to amazing things. Whether you’re working through a tough assignment, learning a new skill, or facing a challenge, don’t give up! Keep showing up, keep trying, and trust that your effort will pay off. 🐊

“A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but its persistence.” — Jim N. Watkins

Italian American Heritage Month — October

Did you know that pepperoni pizza is an American creation inspired by Italian traditions?

Italian immigrants helped bring pizza to the United States, and Americans made it their own by adding popular toppings like pepperoni!

Italian Americans have also influenced music, movies, sports, fashion, and food across the country. This October, celebrate the traditions and contributions that help make our communities unique!

Gator Challenge: If you could create your own pizza, what toppings would you choose?

Mark your calendars! The Marsh Fall Carnival is coming up on Friday, October 23rd, from 3:30–5:30 PM!

Your hard work, responsibility, and leadership could earn you a positive office referral and a special call home to your parents or guardians! Teachers are on the lookout for Gators who are going above and beyond and showing The Gator Way: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe.

Will you be the Gator recognized this week? Keep making great choices, leading by example, and showing others what it means to be a 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!
