Good Evening Marlow Families!
Hard to believe that we are in the final week of September…where does the time go?
Highlights from last week include: Third Grade’s trip to downtown Hendersonville, learning about our local government and visiting some iconic Hendersonville establishments; a jam-packed Chick-fil-A for GMES Spirit Night; and our 5th graders becoming ‘surgeons-for-a-day’ as they continue to learn about the body systems. Overall, it was another outstanding week!

Movie Night @ Marlow is back, and it’s this Friday!
Parents enjoy a night to yourselves, or with friends, while your child(ren) joins teachers and classmates for a movie night at school! On Friday September 29th, we will be showing “The Super Mario Brothers Movie.”
The night will include a pizza dinner, freshly popped popcorn, and fun with friends. Students are invited to wear their pajamas, bring their water bottles, and bring their favorite items to cozy up during the movie with. The doors will open at 6:00pm with a pick up time at 8:30 pm.
How to sign your student(s) up:
1. Please sign up using the Movie Night Google Form. If you have multiple students attending please fill out the form more than once. This allows the teachers working the event to have contact information for your student.

3. Mark your calendar for a night of fun! September 29 at 6pm!!
Registration Deadline is Thursday (9/28) at midnight.

Fall Picture Day is coming!
On Wednesday, October 4th, Lifetouch will be here for Fall pictures. Order forms were sent home last week (and maybe today), so please take advantage of this opportunity to order your pictures, as a portion of all picture sales goes right back to Glenn Marlow Elementary School.
Picture order forms must be paid in full on the Picture Day or orders can be made online at Lifetouch’s website.
Marlow Family Book Club!
Attention 3rd-5th grade students and parents! You are invited to join the Marlow Book Club!
This is a student-parent-teacher book club that will discuss a novel on Google Classroom twice a year (Fall and Spring). As you read the book, we will post discussion questions and activities online, and both students and their families are encouraged to interact and participate. As we reach the end, we will have a Family Night with food, fun, and book-related activities!
The book for fall is Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, by Chris Grabenstein.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out the Google Form and join our Google Classroom!
The Storehouse’s 2023 “Blessings in Boxes”
Do you anticipate that it may be difficult to provide Christmas gifts for your children this year? If so, our partnership will be working with local churches, faith communities, agencies, and local businesses to make Christmas more special for those who choose to participate.
For Marlow families, the Intake day is Friday, October 13th, from 8:30 am – 5:30 pm at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville.
All you need to bring is children clothing sizes and wish lists, a valid form of ID, and a last paycheck stub. Informational flyers were sent home last week with students.
If you have any questions about the Blessings in Boxes, please contact Rachel Malmgren, our school counselor, at 828-654-3225. You may also send her an email at rbmalmgren@hcpsnc.org.
