Mrs. Sappington's third grade students recently visited Legendary Nursing Home in Marshall. As a part of their learning in the Maker Lab with Mrs. Peel, students have been exploring 3D printing and designing ornaments to share with others. During the visit, the students performed a song and presented the residents with ornaments. Way to go 3rd graders!

Mrs. Kueker received a grant from the Marshall Education Foundation and was able to purchase several new puppets for the library. Students will use the puppets to practice fluency and reading with expression. The students were very excited to practice reading with them during library class this week.









The Tom Butterfield Early Childhood Center is exploring the possibility of adding a full-day preschool classroom that would be open to the public for the 2026–2027 school year.
This full-day option would be tuition-based (our current half-day preschool classes remain free).

Please note: Completing the form does not guarantee that the program will be offered or that your child will be accepted.
Thank you for your interest as we plan for the future and work to best serve our families!
More GLOW Party fun! We're so proud of all our students who showed growth during winter testing! Great job!
