Starting this week and throughout the month of October, we’ll be holding Weekly Behavior Challenges! These challenges are designed to help everyone stay focused on The Gator Way and give you extra opportunities to earn Gator Green!

🟢 This week’s challenge: Keep Your Hands to Yourself!

That means keeping hands off others at all times — whether you’re playing games, joking around with friends, or when things get heated. Remember, Marsh Jr. has a strict “No Hands-On” policy, and there can be consequences if you don’t follow it.

Let’s all do the right thing and show what it means to be a true Gator by keeping our hands to ourselves and respecting others!

Go Gators! 

Did your student miss picture day or want to take a new picture?  Retake Day is quickly approaching. If we did not see you on picture day or you would like a new image, Dorian Studio will be taking pictures on Tuesday, October 7th during your student’s PE class.  Do not miss out on ordering pictures of your student.  Orders may be placed online by searching for Marsh Junior High School at mydorian.com and selecting the green Order button next to your school’s retake day event.  Online orders are available up to 2 days after retake day.  If you already ordered and want a new picture taken, please be sure to return your original picture packet to the photographer on retake day. 

Join us on Tuesday, October 24th from 5:30–7:00 PM in the Gym for a fun-filled evening! To be eligible to attend, you must not have any resets or suspensions between now and the event.

The night will include:
✨ Costumes (please, no masks, weapons, or face paint)
✨ Carnival games
✨ Pumpkin carving contest
✨ Yummy treats

Don’t miss out on this chance to celebrate the season with your friends—it’s going to be a blast!

Upward Bound is a program geared towards students who are in 8th grade. The program provides fundamental support to participants in their preparation for college entrance through individual tutoring, workshops and mandatory six week summer residential program at CSU, Chico. Stop by and get some information about the program to see if you are eligible to apply! 

Mr. King would like to give a shout out to George Katigbak in the beginning band class. He is an awesome student who brings positivity and effort every day.

Mr. Bishop would like to give a shout out to Katherine W. Vibe check on Katherine W. (7th grader but not from my current roster)! She comes in once a week during my 4th period class to help support the 6th grade chat. She gives up a part of her lunch to offer help. Low key, she is a MC.

Gators, let’s show our kindness with this week’s Kindness Challenge!

✨ Include Others ✨

Your goal this week is to include others in games or conversations at break or lunch.  Let’s make sure everyone feels included here at Marsh.
