Mrs. Magee's students wrote about turkeys disguising themselves to avoid being served on Thanksgiving. The brave kids read their stories to the class. It takes a lot of trust to share your creative work with others, and it's lovely to watch teachers encouraging and supporting their students to build confidence.
Earlier this week, we had a Pie Throwing Contest. It was a rewarding event for PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports). Students earned tickets for positive behavior during November by teachers and staff throughout the school.
Students' names were drawn, and the winners got to put a pie in the face of the staff of their choice.
For November, classrooms at Marlette Elementary competed against one another in a Food Drive sponsored by DHHS – Pathways to Potential for the Marlette First Church, which serves those in need throughout the Marlette community. Marlette Elementary students and families donated 1,871 food items to the church!!! The winning class was Mrs. Magee’s third grade, who donated 422 items to the food drive. Congratulations on winning the pizza party! Second place was Mr. Pratt’s second graders with 324 items and Ms. Fantin’s second graders with 210 items.
Six local families will receive meals, thanks to the efforts of NHS. Emily Newland, the President of NHS, Vice President Mariah O'Dell, Joseph Rohling, Nolan Greve, and Dow Huggett were pictured packing boxes with everything needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner. NHS wishes ALL Marlette families a wonderful Thanksgiving
The Elementary Student Council is having a fundraiser! You can purchase a hoodie for $28.00 or a t-shirt for $15.00.
The money and order forms are due back on December 4th. The shirts will be delivered before the Christmas break, so you'll have plenty of time to show off your new gear!
The PENut (Physical Education and Nutrition Working Together) lady visited 2nd grade last week and 4th grade today. She brought essential lessons on hand washing, creative ways to be active, and a healthy snack that included many food groups! The students love learning with Mrs. Ross!
We thank Hart Realty for bringing the elementary staff hot chocolate and donuts. On this cold, damp day, it is the perfect treat to get us through the day. We appreciate our community partners including our PTO for picking everything up from Tim Horton's.
They continuously show our educators how much they care about our staff, teachers, and especially our students.
There's no school tomorrow, so let's get out and cheer our time for a win tonight!
Gabby Martinez will sign her National Letter of Intent in the Media Center tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. We are so proud of her accomplishments and cannot wait to see what the future holds for her!
Good luck to our team, tonight!

You are an exceptional student and helper in the classroom, Caleigh!
Audriana, we are so proud of your leadership in the classroom.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday!
It was a day of recognizing that our elementary students are committed to putting bullying to rest. Many wore pajamas to celebrate the pledge, and all had fun.
The third-graders are learning about the first people of Michigan and were recently visited by storyteller Genot Picor. He is also a French Voyager who shares his fascinating stories about Michigan pioneers and educates students about the various tools used in the past for survival.
The kids enjoyed his music as he sang songs, danced with them, and introduced them to new French vocabulary.
Ms. Marshall’s class achieved all their LEADER letters for excellent behavior in the hallway. They are grateful to the family of one of the students in their class for sponsoring their pizza party reward. It was a well-deserved treat after all their hard work and good behavior.
Marlette Elementary students and faculty members had a fun day yesterday as they expressed themselves by wearing odd socks! It was a great way to celebrate their individuality and embrace differences. After all, being different makes us unique and special.
