Roadrunner Rundown
May 28, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
We hope you had an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend. For our families who were remembering a loved one who gave their lives in service of our country, we hope you felt communal appreciation for your loved ones. To our current military families, thank you for your collective service!
We are very proud of our students who play an instrument and/or sing in the chorus. These students have worked hard this year and are excited about their upcoming performances. Our upper grade students will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful music during the day on June 6. Families are invited to attend the evening concert at 6:30 pm.
We are looking forward to the final weeks of school. There is still much to learn and many activities for students, families, and staff to enjoy.
Have a great week.
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Sue Kirby and Antoinette Nauflett
