Week of September 28th 

Support the Marshall PTA’s Annual Fund 

Last week, your student(s) brought home our Welcome PTA packet, including our 2026–27 Giving Roadmap. This year, our goal is to raise $160,000 so the PTA can invest approximately $300 per student in the programs and resources that make Marshall magical. Many families choose to make one gift at the beginning of the school year. If that works for your family, you can contribute to the Annual Fund here. Every gift, at every amount, makes a difference!

Picture Day 

Thursday, October 1, and Friday, October 2, is Picture Day at Marshall. Teachers will email the specific day for your Owl. 

Socktober Service Project 

Calling all Owls! Socktober is back and the sock monster by the front office is ready to collect brand new socks of all sizes from October 1 - 30. Socks are one of the most needed items in shelters, so we’re collecting NEW socks of any size for MEND (Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity) to distribute to food pantries throughout Essex County. Help us live our school motto, “If it is to be, it’s up to me!” Questions? Email service@marshall-pta.org.

Move-a-thon Fundraiser

Our annual Marshall Move-a-thon is happening on Friday, October 16! Each grade gets outside for 30 minutes of music from our DJ, fresh air, and silly movement challenges for a cause. They move. You donate. Marshall wins! We’ll share a link to volunteer at the Move-a-thon soon!

See Cinderella and Support Marshall!

Marshall receives 10% of every ticket sold to PANTO’s Cinderella at SOPAC when you enter “MARSHALL” in the comments field at checkout! Join us Saturday, November 14, at 1 pm for an interactive, laugh-out-loud twist on the classic fairy tale, packed with music, spectacle, and plenty of audience participation. Anyone can support Marshall, so invite your friends and family and help spread the word!
