Happening this Spring!
“Give a HOOT” Family Pledge
On April 21st, in honor of Earth Day, students will attend Sustainable Sounds, a performance featuring musical instruments created from trash. We hope to inspire students as Marshall's Green Team kicks off a new family pledge project called GIVE A HOOT! We hope every family will participate by selecting ways to improve their environmental impact. Look out for the pledge sheet in backpacks where you will find action ideas, helpful information, and hot tips on recycling. Additional copies are available if pledge sheets are misplaced, just email greenteam@marshall-pta.org. Please return completed sheets by Monday, April 28th, so that students can proudly display their commitment to a better future. Click here for a preview of the assembly!

Team Unscreen’s “Wait Until 8” Pledge
Over 500 SOMA families have already signed the “Wait Until 8th” pledge, which aims to delay smartphones/social media until high school. We’re aiming to hit 1,000 families this spring, and we would love for you to join in the movement! Signing the pledge is the best way to track the shift in our community so that we can make this change together!
Check out teamunscreen.com/faq if you have questions about the pledge, or visit waituntil8th.org to go ahead and sign.
