Bulletin for the week of 1/27/25
 

Bulletin for the week of 1/27/25
As we approach February, I wanted to take a moment to highlight Black History Month, a dedicated time to recognize the significant contributions of African Americans to our society. This month allows us to celebrate the achievements, culture, and history of African Americans, and it holds special meaning as it coincides with the birthdays of two pivotal figures in the abolitionist movement: President Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. We would love for you to join us in celebrating Black History Month at Marsh Junior High School. If you are looking for more ways to get involved, please consider joining the Marsh Black Student Union, which meets Wednesday mornings in E-21 from 8 - 9 AM.
 
The school nurse will be screening students for scoliosis on March 6, 2025. State law requires that school districts in California provide scoliosis screening for seventh grade girls and eighth grade boys.  
 
Career day is here!  All 8th graders who turned in their permission slip will be attending the 2nd annual Butte/Glenn 8th Day Career Day that will take place at the Glenn County Fairgrounds on February 11th. This landmark event will offer ALL Butte and Glenn County 8th-grade students a unique opportunity to explore diverse career paths, engage with local industry professionals, and learn about the essential skills, education, and training needed to thrive in various careers. Students will be leaving in the morning and returning to Marsh Jr. High before the school day ends. you will have the chance to get a lunch bag provided by the school but are more than welcome to take their own lunch to the event.
 
All 8th graders will have the opportunity to visit their designated High Schools soon! The visits are scheduled for February 20th for students attending Pleasant Valley High School, and February 25th for those attending Chico High School. This is a wonderful chance for 8th graders to explore the events, activities, and courses offered at each High School. District transportation will be provided, and students will leave around 8AM and return around lunchtime.
 
Our Marsh Kindness Ambassadors have been hard at work creating lessons and activities to help support a positive school culture at Marsh. Starting February 3rd, students will be learning about a selected school-wide focus in their advisement classes. Following these lessons, you will then have the opportunity to take part in lunchtime activities led by our very own Kindness Ambassadors. Teachers will also be nominating one student each week who exemplifies that trait for Gator Gold recognition. These students will receive a special certificate and prize at the end of each week.
 
It is time to recognize our Honor Roll Students!  If you made Honor Roll at the end of the first semester you will receive a special invitation to attend the Honor Roll Movie in the MPR. 6th graders will receive recognition on February 6th, and 7th and 8th graders will be honored on February 7th.  
 
This is a friendly reminder that Tuesday, January 28th is a minimum day for students. Students will be released at 12:06pm. The BLAST program will not be running on this day, so please plan accordingly.  Students will have the opportunity to receive a grab and go lunch and district transportation will be running early to accommodate the minimum day.  
We wish you all a wonderful week ahead.  Gators, Please remember to turn off your cell phones and electronic devices and make sure they are in your backpack. 
 
Later Gators!
