Dear Marshall Families,

 Winter has continued to keep the temperatures low and left us with an abundance of snow.  We have been able to go outside for most recesses over the past couple weeks.  Keep in mind the importance of warm gloves and hats for the kids each day.

 We have conferences coming up the first week of March.  On March 4 we will have evening conferences from 5:00-8:00 and on March 6 we will have afternoon conferences from 1:00-4:00 and evening conferences from 5:00-8:00.  We are looking forward to sitting down with you again and talking about the amazing progress that has been made this year.  The 4^th grade lighthouse projects will also be on display in the building during that time.

 Thanks so much for your support over the past few weeks.  We just finished up a Box Tops competition that collected a total of 33,195 box tops for Marshall.  We also had a Wear Red Day to support awareness of Heart Disease in Women, to go along with our Jump Rope for Heart Campaign.  Together we are making a difference

 Thanks for working as a team with Marshall.

Mr. Ruiter
