Roadrunner Rundown
May 20, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Family Sports and Ice Cream Night on Friday night. A big shout out to the PTA for planning such an enjoyable evening where students, families and staff were able to come together to enjoy one another’s company. They have done it yet again, bravo!
The school year is much like a marathon, while the pace changes over the course, the goal is to keep running to the very end. Our teachers are focused on completing this race by continuing to teach through June 12, 2024. We invite you to encourage your children to do the same by arriving to school on time and giving their very best each day. Summer break starts when the final school day ends; there is enough time for summer in its season. There are many fun activities planned for the end of the school year (today’s field day was great!), there is also a lot of learning to continue. We want our students to dive into the fun and learning while looking forward to summer break.
There will be no school on Monday, May 27 as we observe Memorial Day.
Have a great week.
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Sue Kirby and Antoinette Nauflett
