Marysville Memo

Hello Marysville Families,
We hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits as we head into the last week of November. We continue to encourage students to please dress for the chilly weather.
As we head into the month of December we are excited about all of the events and activities that will take place for our students!
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and growth of your children. Together, we will continue to create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where every child can thrive.
Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead as we wrap up the month of November and head into December:)
Your partners in education,
Mrs. MacDonald, Mr. Wood, Mrs. Barrett and the Marysville PS Team :)
