Hello Marcellus Families,

Welcome back and to the 4th quarter in the 2025/2026 school year. I hope everyone had a relaxing Spring Break making lots of memories with your children.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION! If you know of a 5-year-old who is looking for an exceptional school experience please have their parents come to Marcellus Elementary on Thursday, April 16th at 5:30pm. They will learn about our kindergarten programs and what needs to be filled out and returned to enroll their child.

April and May bring with them state testing for our 3rd through 5th graders. PLEASE, make sure that your child(ren) is getting enough sleep the night before the test, arrive to school on time so that they can receive an extra delicious hardy hot breakfast from our lunch ladies, and have time to settle into their day before showing the world how smart they are.

In May we will hold our annual Wildcat Walk. More information on the walk will be coming home with each child in the next couple weeks. This fundraiser helps us provide our students with extra fun activities throughout the year and keep our Friday Cats Cart loaded with fun prizes for each child.

Yours,

Mrs. B

Hello Marcellus Families,

March is Reading Month. We are going to hold a family literacy/math night on Thursday, March 19th from 5:00-7:00pm at Marcellus Elementary. Please see the flyer that will be coming home later this week/early next week. We will have dinner for the families who RSVP using the QR code on the literacy night flyer (if you need to call the office to RSVP please feel free to do so at 269-646-9209). The event will contain a read aloud with Dr. Dunn, an escape room for upper elementary, reading with your child, dinner and more. One gift card will be raffled in each grade level for the parents that have students complete at least 5 of the activities available to participate in.

The drawing for the gift cards will be on Friday, March 20th. If your name is pulled for your child’s grade level Mrs. B will call you to let you know.

Our Spring Break is right around the corner. We will not have school from March 27th through April 3rd. Students and staff will return on Monday, April 6th.

Thank you to each family that attended our February parent/teacher conferences and supported our annual book fair. We truly appreciate Megan Mikel and Debbie Churchill's support to make our book fair happen and be successful. Thank you to everyone who donated to the Share the Fair account so that every child who wanted to get a book or journal at the fair was able to do so.

Yours,
Mrs. B
