“Give a HOOT” Family Pledge
Participate in Marshall's Green Team’s family pledge project called GIVE A HOOT! We hope every family will complete the pledge sheet sent home in backpacks and select ways to improve their environmental impact. Please return completed sheets ASAP, so that students can proudly display their commitment to a better future throughout the hallways of Marshall!
Happening in May!
