Good evening, Marlow families!

Here we go…Week 4 of the ’22-23 school year is off and running, and man, what a great start we had to the week today! Today, Flat Rock Playhouse visited Marlow, and gave our K-2 and 4-5 students a fantastic show on Letterland Alive! (K-2) and Greetings from NC! (4-5). Both shows were incredible, so be sure to check out our Marlow Instagram page for some great pictures.

A big Marlow shout-out goes to all those that participated in “Elementary Night” at the WHHS Football game on Friday night. As usual, Marlow was very well represented, and the kids had a great time running onto the field pre-game.

Weather looks great all week long, so let’s have a terrific one!

Have a great Monday, and thank you for all that you do!

Student Chromebook Charges

  • As stated in the school-wide message that was sent out earlier today….: “Over these first few weeks of school, each Marlow student was issued a student Chromebook that will be used here at school, and taken home to be used as needed. Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, you will be notified by the school and billed for any charges due to Chromebook damage, loss or unreturned devices. Specific details can be found in the updated Student Code of Conduct. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly. We appreciate your continued support of our students, and our school. Have a great evening. JEH”

Marlow Backpack Bunch Food Drive

  • Our Marlow BackPack Bunch is back up and running, and we need your help! Each month, the BackPack Bunch will be asking for food donations to keep our pantry stocked for the year.
  • For the month of September, the BackPack Bunch Crew is accepting donations of breakfast items. So as not to get inundated by too much of the same thing, we are assigning specific items to each grade level:
    • Kindergarten: pre-packaged muffin mixes
    • 1st grade: cereal
    • 2nd grade: pancake mixes
    • 3rd grade: quick cooking rolled oats
    • 4th grade: shelf stable milk
    • 5th grade: instant and microwaveable cup oatmeal
  • Please remember that donated food items should be in single serving boxes/packets (we’re not allowed to open larger boxes/containers to divide them up into smaller amounts UNLESS they are prepackaged/individually wrapped.) Smaller boxes and containers are appreciated as the children have to carry their food bags home! Glass containers also cannot be accepted. Thank you so much!

  • The 2022 Marlow Spirit Wear link is now updated! We became aware that the previous link was experiencing some issues.
  • Special thanks to Big Frog Custom T-shirts and More for their partnership. Order your Marlow spirit wear today!
