Marshpoint PTA Updates for Ms. Stephens's 3rd Grade Class (2023-24)

  Marshpoint Field Day will make a splash on Friday, May 10 .  Mark your calendar! We need volunteers to help run the stations of games, water play, and treats. Field Day is an all-day event!  Our third graders will attend in the afternoon from 1:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Please sign-up for a volunteer shift at this link:   Sign-up Genius for Field Day

The Sweetheart Ball is this Wednesday! Students will visit the dance during their Specials period, which is 1:05 - 1:50 p.m. for our third graders. Parents are welcome to attend. We also need volunteers to set-up before the dance and/or help throughout the day! Set-up will take place at 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, and again early Wednesday morning. Volunteers can chaperone for any period of time between 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. There is a Sign-up Genius for chaperones: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E45A9AC22A3F9C70-47594674-sweetheart?useFullSite=true#/

  Marshpoint's Santa Shop needs more elves!  Do you have a jolly grandpa or cheery aunt willing to work a shift?  We'll help the students select and wrap gifts for their family members. Please sign-up for a volunteer shift (9-11:30 or 11:30-2 over the next 2 weeks) at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E45A9AC22A3F9C70-46158124-marshpoint?useFullSite=true#/

  Marshpoint will offer the Santa Shop again this year.  This fun event is a chance for students to shop, purchase gifts, and take home the wrapped packages to give to family members.  The shop will open the week after Thanksgiving break, and Ms. Stephens will let us know what day our kids will attend. A flier and a Santa Shop envelope went home this week.  Please send cash in the envelope with your child, and list on the envelope the people for whom your child should buy gifts and your student's estimated budget. Santa needs elves!  The North Pole cannot open without volunteers willing to staff the shop.  Parents, grandparents, or other elves will help children choose gifts within their budgets, make their payments, and wrap their gifts. Here is the link to the Sign-up Genius where you can choose a 2.5-hour shift from Nov 28 - Dec 8: https://www.signupgenius.com/ go/10C0E45A9AC22A3F9C70- 46158124-marshpoint#/
