Roadrunner Rundown
June 6, 2024
Principal's Message
Dear Marshall Road Families,
The Madison Pyramid provided “ONEkindact - We Can!” bracelets for students and staff. Bracelets were handed out today and Mr. Chapman asked students to consider wearing the bracelet every day as a reminder to do ONE Kind Act each day through the end of the school year. We are excited about the week ahead and the opportunities it will bring to spread kindness. Being unified in kindness is a great way to end the school strong.
We hope you can join us for our Spring Concert this Thursday, June 6 at 6:30 pm.
Have a great week.
Much peace.
Matthew Chapman, Sue Kirby and Antoinette Nauflett

PTA Update
One week left to contribute to a yearend gift for teachers and staff.
The 2023-2024 school year is coming to a close. For those who would like to give a gift of thanks to a teacher or staff member that has made a difference for their student or family this year, please use this GiftCrowd page to leave a note and gift. The list includes all teachers and staff, so you can give to as many people as you’d like, all in one place.
Gift recipients will be able to use their gift towards one or more gift cards from a selection of over 400 top brands. Participation is completely optional. The receiver will see the names of people that contribute but will only see the grand total of money contributed. The deadline to contribute is Monday, June 10 at 10:30 pm.
