Principal's Message

Dear Marshall Road Families,

While the winter weather has gotten milder, we invite you to get a different taste of winter by attending the Winter Concert which is taking place tomorrow at 6:30 pm. Students will attend the afternoon concert. Our 5th and 6th grade students have been working hard to prepare for this performance and we are proud of their dedication, and willingness to practice, learn and grow.

Have a great week.

Matthew Chapman, Toni Nauflett, and Kelly Willis

Holiday Gifts/Class Gifts for Teachers and Staff

This is the  time of year when many families like to show their appreciation to the incredible MRES staff and there are many different ways to thank the staff. As in previous years, we are giving families the option to participate in GiftCrowd. Click here to leave a gift and note for any staff member that has made a difference to your family. 

New this year, we have created teams for some staff members who might not always be in the spotlight; so please consider contributing to those as well.  Members in each team can be found here. These gifts will be automatically split evenly between the members in the group as soon as the gift collection ends. Recipients will be able to see the list of participants and their messages but not the individual contribution amounts. Please note that the minimum contribution is $2 and contributions are not visible to the recipient. Staff members will be able to redeem their gifts for one or more gift cards including Amazon, Target, Walmart, or hundreds of others. The gifts collection ends on 12/20/2024 7:00 AM ET. At that time, the gifts will be sent to their respective recipients. Questions? Email Monica at president@marshallroadpta.org.
