Marshall School PTA

Move-a-thon Fundraiser

The Move-a-thon is THIS FRIDAY, October 24, and we’re only halfway to our fundraising goal. If every student raises just $35, we’ll hit our 20K goal and be able to fully fund the essential programs our kids rely on this year. Make an online donation HERE through October 27, and don’t forget to use the SHARE button to send to family and friends. Cash donations are welcome via your child’s teacher.

Week of October 20th

Socktober Service Project

Calling all Owls! Socktober is back and the sock monster by the front office is ready to collect brand new socks of all sizes from October 13 - 31. Socks are one of the most needed items in shelters, so we’re collecting NEW socks of any size for MEND (Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity) to distribute to food pantries throughout Essex County. Help us live our school motto - “If it is to be, it’s up to me!” Questions? Email service@marshall-pta.org.

Fundraising at Marshall

Check your student’s backpacks for our Fundraising Roadmap. In it you’ll find exactly when we’re asking for your support throughout the year, and what your donations will fund within our Marshall community. New this year, you’ll also see an option to make a one-time donation that will cover your giving efforts for the entire school year → CLICK HERE to make a one-time donation now! Questions? Email fundraising@marshall-pta.org.

Team Unscreen Coffee Chat

Marshall’s Team Unscreen will start parent gatherings on October 10th! Team Unscreen is a local parent group bringing the national conversation about smartphones, social media, and kids’ mental health into our own community. Their goal is to share education, resources, and support that help reduce the pressure for kids to adopt tech too early—while encouraging in-person friendships, creativity, and play! Building on last year’s success, they are hosting a series of small parent-to-parent gatherings. The first session will be on Setting Boundaries for Screen Time, where they’ll share strategies and hear what’s working for other families. Sign up here!

Help Hootie Spread the Word!

Do you know of a family that is new to Marshall and not receiving PTA emails? Please encourage them to email communications@marshall-pta.org. We will forward all PTA communication to them until distribution lists are finalized for the 2025-26 school year. Hootie thanks you!
