Mustang Gallop and Flagstaff Festival of Science

Hey Marshall Families!
Things are moving right along here at school and I hope things are going well on your end at home! Here's a couple of exciting announcements.


The Mustang Gallop, one of our school's biggest (and funnest--yes, your English teacher just wrote "funnest") fundraisers is coming up and I'm so thrilled to be a part of it this year!
Here's a video to get you pumped and let you know what it's all about! Also, there should be a small packet of information coming your way in your child's backpack regarding the Mustang Gallop.

 You should also be receiving a brochure about the Flagstaff Festival of Science. What a great opportunity to enjoy free and fascinating activities with your family! Some of the activities include Sky viewings at Lowell Observatory, special talks at the Museum of Northern Arizona, and educational hikes. So cool! I know I'll be checking at least one of these events out! See you there. :)


Have a great weekend!
Miss Baker
