PTSA Meeting Tonight
7:00 pm in the Library

You are cordially invited to the first PTSA meeting
of the year!

YOUR VOICE COUNTS! Our meetings are a great way to learn what is happening at Marshall. You will hear directly from Principal Litz and have a chance to ask questions. Please help us ensure that parent voices are heard - we want you to be a part of the process of improving our school. We can't wait to meet you!
Light refreshments will be served.

P.S. You will have an opportunity to join the PTSA at the meeting if you have not done so already.



Tonight we will be raffling off the Marshall hoodie to one of the first 291 members that joined the PTSA!

Our goal is to get to 500 PTSA members by the end of the month - please join now! Your membership funds are critical to providing the many PTSA programs and services our students and staff depend upon.
