PE is Requesting Gently Used Shoes

As the weather is getting warmer and you find that some shoes may not fit anymore, please consider making a donation to Marquette Elementary/O'Keeffe Middle School. Gently used elementary-sized sneakers (around U.S. kids' sizes 1-6) or any type of closed-toed shoes appropriate for P.E/going outside would be much appreciated! Donations can be made by simply sending the donated items in a bag with your student to turn in at school. Thank you!!

Vision Screening:

3rd & 5th graders will be completing a vision screening Wednesday, March 2. Please make sure your child has their glasses or contacts that day.)

MUSTANG PRIDE CELEBRATION

The week of March 7, we will have a school-wide celebration of the successes of our Mustang Scholars. Students will post their accomplishments from this school year on their locker. On Friday, March 11 there will be a gallery walk for students to see and appreciate each other's accomplishments.

Please ask your child what they are most proud of this year so that they are ready to share with their fellow scholars.

We also encourage students to wear their Marquette spirit wear on Friday, March 11 to show their Mustang pride!
