Congratulations to the Marshall Orchestras on their performances at the VBODA Assessment this past weekend!
The event (held at Washington-Liberty HS) consists of three prepared stage selections as well as a Sight Reading portion. All four orchestras received Superior ratings in the Sight Reading, where they have to perform a selection they have never seen before. Here are the overall ratings for each ensemble:
Philharmonic Orchestra – Superior
Capriccio Orchestra – Excellent
Five Star Strings – Superior
Statesmen Sinfonia – Superior
All four groups represented our school extremely well, and I am very proud of their progress and performances! Special thanks to Mr. Litz for coming out to support Sinfonia on Friday night!

Sophomore Plant Sales
The Marshall High School Plant Sale is open for business and the proceeds benefit our Sophomore Class (2028).
The plant sale takes place every year and has a loyal customer base. It has a very good reputation for high quality, reasonably priced plants.
Order deadline is March 27. Plants are available for pick up in front of Marshall High School from 8:30AM - 11:00AM on
Saturday, May 2. Colors are first come first serve. Plants are perfect for teacher gifts, Mother’s Day gifts and your own personal garden needs.
We have raised about $400 profit so far from the plant sale and the sale opened Monday. Our goal is to raise $5,000 and I think we can make it if we try.
Please order plants for yourself and send this link to friends and family to help us sell as many flowers as we can. If you cannot buy flowers this year, please consider making a monetary donation (link here)
Each class has a goal of raising approximately $40,000 to pay for graduation and prom related activities. Because the goal is so large, classes start fund raising Sophomore year with the Plant Sale.
Chris Krouse and Carolyn Kesler are co-chairing the Fundraising Committee. They are looking for at least 20 more parents to help with the fundraising efforts. We hope you will consider joining us

Phones Off, Learning On
FCPS’ cell phone policy helps students focus, learn, and engage. When students put their phones away, they have more face-to-face interactions with their peers and teachers and more opportunities to develop resilience and problem-solving skills. Please remind your child that:
-
Cell phones and personal devices (earbuds, headsets, other items connected to the internet) must be off and away for the entire school day (bell to bell) with the exception of lunch time in designated lunch spaces.
-
Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited.
If you need to contact your child during the school day, please call our front office at 703-714-5400. Visit our cell phone policy webpage for more information and answers to frequently asked questions.
