Only 150 Copies of the Yearbook Left!

Order before May 1 to save $10
 
A lot of things have been different the past few months, but Marshall’s photojournalism students have still been hard at work to fill the 2021 yearbook with articles, photos, and more that tell the story of this unusual year. Help preserve high school memories, celebrate milestones, and elevate student perspectives by purchasing a copy of the yearbook!
 
We have only about 150 copies left to sell. And if you order before May 1, you can get this year’s book for $70. That’s a savings of $10 off the end-of-year price.
 
Please https://www.yearbookordercenter.com/ number 4039) to order a copy via credit card. If you’d prefer to pay by cash or check, you can download an order form at https://gcmnews.net/ybk/ybkorder.pdf.

GCM Orchestra Fundraiser

Marshall Orchestra needs your old clothes!

The orchestra musicians are collecting donations of bagged 'sellable' used soft goods: clothing (including shoes- that's the only 'hard' items acceptable), linens, and bedding.

Bag 'em up and either drop off on April 26 between 10:00 AM - 02:00 PM at the box truck at Marshall High School, front parking lot, 7731 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22043, or drop off at your favorite orchestra student's home!

Unique pays $0.20 per pound and if every one of the 104 kids collects 4 bags, they'll make over $1000. Orchestra uses the funds for sectional coaches, music, accessories (bows) and instrument repair. Thank you!
