School Events and Information
Attendance Matters
Please prioritize school attendance during these final weeks. Your support in ensuring your child is present and engaged is key to their continued progress. Let’s instill the life lesson of giving your all and finishing strong. Thank you for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education.
Field Day Volunteers Needed
We are looking for Field Day Volunteers! If you have interest in helping run a station for grades 3-6 on June 2, 9:45 am-12:30 pm please sign up here. We will have 15 stations located on the field, blacktop, and gym. Classes will rotate stations every 11 minutes and each class will participate in all 15 stations.

PTA Update
Join us for the last PTA Meeting & Chat with Chapman
Our final PTA meeting & Chat with Chapman of the school year will be on Wednesday, May 21 at 8:00 am in the cafeteria. We will elect Board members for the 2025-2026 school year. Attendees are invited to stay for our volunteer appreciation breakfast, which will follow the meeting.
Year-End Gifts for Teachers & Staff
As the 2024-2025 school year comes to a close, many families like to show their appreciation to the incredible MRES staff. There are many different ways to thank the staff this time of year. As in previous years, we are giving families the option to participate in GiftCrowd. You can leave a gift and note for any staff member that has made a difference to your family here.
We have created teams for some staff members who might not always be in the spotlight; so please consider contributing to those as well. Here is where you can find the members in each team. These gifts will be automatically split evenly between the team members as soon as the gift collection ends. Each recipient will be able to see all of the messages and choose how to redeem their gift of choice.
Please note that the minimum contribution is $2 and all 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). Every recipient will be able to see the list of participants (but not their individual contributions) and their greetings. The gifts collection ends on June 10, 11:30 PM ET. At that time, the gifts will be sent to their respective recipients. Questions? Email Monica at president@marshallroadpta.org.
Family Sports Night
Thank you to all the families who joined us for Family Sports Night last Friday! We had such a fun time as this evening filled with energy, laughter and community spirit. Special thanks to Amanda Hexel for organizing this event for our community.
MRES Staff Spotlight
This week Ms. McCulla is the winner of the priority parking spot. Ms. McCulla has been part of the MRES family for the past 3 years, and we are so lucky to have her on our team. Outside of school, she loves spending time outdoors; kayaking and hiking are two of her favorite activities. She is also learning something new and fun; she is teaching herself how to play the ukulele! Ms. McCulla is originally from a small town in the New York Finger Lakes Region called Horseheads. She finds that no matter where she goes, she meets someone who knows of her hometown or has passed through. Ms. McCulla and her husband are proud parents of two daughters: Lt. Christine McCulla, USCG and Liddy McCulla, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan.
