Marlow Monday Message

Gooooooooood evening Marlow Families -- I hope everyone had an awesome weekend!

What a banner week we had last week!!! Highlights include:

• Getting our phone lines back, WOO-HOO!!;
• The 'boil water' advisory lifted;
• Fed over 745 Thanksgiving meals on Thursday to students and K-2 parents;
• Collected over 3674 pairs of socks for Sock-to-ber through the Marlow K-Kids, and
• A snowy morning commute on Friday AM! WHAT A SIGHT!!!

Last week was jammed packed with Marlow 'Awesomeness'. Every day, we are reminded of the joy, kindness, and community that make our school so special. I am incredibly grateful for our students, our faculty and staff, and the partnership and opportunity to nurture and inspire your children every day.

Wishing you and your loved ones a Thanksgiving holiday filled with warmth, laughter, and gratitude.

All the best,

John

Have you lost a coat, a glove, or a hat?
A lunchbox, a water bottle—imagine that!
Our Lost and Found is brimming high,
Come take a peek; give it a try!

These items wait to find their home,
Don’t let them sit here all alone!
So stop on by, and take a look—
Your missing treasure might be in this nook!

UNLIKE LOST and FOUND, the Clothes Bin recycles old clothing, shoes, and textiles. And best of all, Glenn Marlow ES gets a $$ percentage of the total weight collected when emptied.

What does that mean?!? It means the more we fill it up, the more $$ we make!!

CLEAN OUT THOSE CLOSETS AND DROP YOUR OLD CLOTHES, SHOES, BELTS, LINENS IN THE CLOTHES BIN, AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF MARLOW ES!
