Marlow Monday Message
Monday, March 4th, 2024
Goooooood evening Glenn Marlow Families! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!
As we turn our February 'hearts' into March 'shamrocks', it is hard to believe that we are just a few weeks away from Spring Break (last week of March), and then we will begin to think about End-of-Year activities..π³π³π³π³. Be sure you are keeping up with activities, events, and such as we enter the final stretch of the school year.
This week is National Read Across America Week, and we want to celebrate all our Buckaroo readers out there! From our youngest readers to our oldest, when people find the time to read with our children, children get them message that reading is important. So, keep reading everyone, everyday!!
This week is also National School Breakfast Week, and we want to salute our Child Nutrition Staff for all they do to keep Universal Breakfast running at GMES each day. For the 2023-2024 school year, we have been serving about and average of 250 - 270 breakfast meals PER DAY to our students. WOW! That is awesome, but that also takes a lot of work from our Child Nutrition Staff to prepare that each day. Thank you Ms. Pam, Ms. Karen, Ms. Christine, and Ms. Brooke for all you do!
We had an awesome Spirit Night at Culver's last Thursday, with a great Marlow showing all night long, and we capped the week off with 90's Day on Friday. So great to see our Buckaroos show their spirit all day long!
As we continue to navigate this journey of the 2023-2024 school year together, please remember that your support and involvement are invaluable in shaping our children's bright futures. Keep up the great work!

UPDATED - Attendance....by the numbers
As said many times before, student attendance plays an integral part of a child's success in school.
Our school wide goal is an Average Weekly Attendance Rate (AWAR) of 95% or greater.
This past week (2/26 - 3/1), our school-wide AWAR was 93.5%.
Let's work hard to stay healthy, be on time to school, and great things will happen.
Every student counts.....Every day matters.
G3 - G5 Q3 NC Check-Ins happening this week...
G3 - G5 parents - If your child is going to be out of school, please communicate with your child's teacher so that Check-In make-up arrangements can be made.
Thank you!!
Severe Weather Preparedness Week - State-wide Tornado Drill on Wednesday (3/6) at 1:45pm
This week is Severe Weather Preparedness Week, designated by the National Weather Service and the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.
As part of the week, GMES students and staff will be participating in a state-wide tornado drill on Wednesday, March 6th, @ 1:45pm. As always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
