Rodney Raider spent the day in the gym with Mrs. Zuhlke. He wasn't sure about virtual gym so he made himself a little jump rope from a shoelace to get his exercise! He sat in on all of the Google Meets Mrs. Zuhlke had today so was able to see many students right in their own homes! He is so impressed with the number of students who participated today! It was nice to have some company in the gym!
THE MARLETTE ELEMENTARY GIVING TREE 2020:
The annual Marlette Elementary Giving Tree is decorated and shining brightly in the school’s lobby to help those in need during this holiday season. All toys stay in the Marlette community through Marlette Toys for Tots.
During this unprecedented year, there are multiple ways to help:
1. Come to the elementary and grab a tag off of the tree. Return the unwrapped toy to the school by Friday, December 18th.
2. If you are unable to make it to the school to grab a tag, you can donate any unwrapped toy for a boy or girl from infant to 12 by Friday, December 18th.
3. If you cannot make it to the school at all, you can send a check to Marlette Elementary School, Attn: Giving Tree, 6230 Euclid St, Marlette, MI 48453 and we will go out and purchase toys for you.
The school is open from 8:00am to 3:00pm during school days and toys can be placed in the container in the lobby. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Reynolds at lreynolds@marletteschools.org.
Free Naloxone training is now available.

Rodney Raider came to visit Ms. Laursen's class today and decided to read all of the new books on her reading shelf while waiting for his favorite students to return to school. He also got to listen in on the Google Meet while the students did an AMAZING job on their Countdown phonics program.
Rodney Raider is sharing a very important message with everyone visiting the elementary today! #SpreadingJoyNotGerms
Rodney Raider has returned to Marlette Elementary School! He was disappointed that his friends are all at home until December 9, but he wanted to remind everyone that he does have magical powers and will be making sure our students are working hard on staying Ready, Respectful, and Responsible while they are at home.
Congratulations to our Students of the Week, Drew & Lacey! #RedRaiderNation

The elementary pantry was getting a bit light so Ms. Raeann thought a jeans day for staff might help bring in a few canned goods. Sure did! #RedRaiderNation #JeansDay
