PTSA Meeting with Guest Speaker
Wednesday, October 26th at 7pm
on Zoom

The PTSA will host guest speaker, Rachel Bailey, a clinical psychologist, to discuss students and anxiety.

Supporting Anxious Students: For many students, facing challenging circumstances leads to stress and anxiety. Those feelings can negatively impact their performance, which creates more anxiety! In this workshop, you'll learn how to respond effectively to your child in the moment when they are feeling overwhelmed. You'll also learn how to foster children's resilience so that they don't experience as much anxiety to begin with. 

Urgent Need for Homecoming Volunteers
Did you know that the sophomore class hosts the Homecoming Dance? We are in need for volunteers from the Class of 2024 (and anyone else who would be willing to donate or volunteer!) in order to make the Homecoming Dance this Saturday a success for the kids!

Bus Driver & Cafeteria Worker Appreciation
October is when we recognize and thank the wonderful team of bus drivers and cafeteria workers who care for our students each day. Donate toward treat bags for the folks who take such great care of our students. Donations may be dropped off by 9:00am Tuesday, October 19th to the Main Office.
Camera Equipment Needed
The Marshall High School art department is seeking donations of cameras to support its rapidly expanding photography enrollment. Cameras will be added to our lending library for student usage in intro and upper level courses. Any still functional camera will be accepted (digital or film), but 35mm film cameras and digital cameras with manual settings are especially desired. An itemized tax deduction receipt will be provided.

Please contact Mr. McDonough at pmcdonough@fcps.edu with questions.
