Gooooood Evening Marlow Families!!!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Highlights from last week include: a very successful Fall Picture Day, 4th graders rocking Outdoor Ed, 2nd grade having a great time at Nix's Pumpkin Patch, and 5th grade learning and exploring at Muddy Sneakers. Overall, it was once again a great week at GMES!
And here we are, the final week of the 1st Quarter...Q1 official ends on Tuesday, October 17th, and the Q1 Report Cards will be made available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal on Thursday, Oct. 19th. The Q1 Honor Roll Recognition Ceremony will take place in the Marlow Gym on Friday, Nov. 3rd, at 8:30am.
This week we celebrate National School Lunch Week! We use this week to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch, and the positive impact it has on our students day-to-day life here at school, as well as outside of school As we stated earlier, we have seen a 200% increase in the number of lunches served at Marlow since we went to all free lunches back in August. That is outstanding!! Let's make sure we give our Cafeteria Staff - Ms. Pam, Ms. Brooke, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Christine - a big shout out! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!

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.

School Lunch
We also enjoy having our parents, grandparents, and younger siblings come and join us for lunch. Whether it be a special occasion or just a time to come and enjoy lunch with your child, please remember that we do not allow parents to bring in outside food from local or chain restaurants into the cafeteria to give their child. Instead, we encourage you to buy lunch at school with your child and enjoy it with them.
In advance, thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Morning and Afternoon Reminders
**TRANSPORTATION CHANGES** - Parents - Please be sure that you are notifying your child's HR teacher if there are any PM transportation changes. If a change must happen during the school day, we ask that you call the office (before 2pm if possible) to ensure that we get the message to both the teacher and student.
Do not use the Class DoJo app (or any other Social Media app) to make a transportation changes for your child. Please call the office, and we will see students get to the proper method home.
**FOR BOTH THE AM / PM (..on Butler Bridge Road)** - We would like to ask our Marlow families please be "good neighbors" to Aletheia Academy Childcare next door and leave their entrance "unblocked" during drop-off and pick-up. This will allow their families, staff, and any emergency vehicles, if ever needed, access in and out of their center. They will appreciate this kind and thoughtful courtesy very much. Thank you!
**FOR PM CAR RIDERS** - Parents - Please be sure you have the neon green car rider signs displayed in your windshield when picking up students...(You are doing a great job of this!)
Also, please stay in your car, or next to your car, when students are dismissed to walk. We promise, we will get them to the right car, and if we have parents wondering the parking lot and sidewalk, it can create a safety issue. Thank you for your help with this.
