This week we celebrated our amazing bus drivers who do the indispensable job of getting our students to and from school safely every day. Thurgood Marshall Elementary is served by 20 different bus routes.

Just a reminder that the last rehearsal for the Talent Show is Thursday, 4/23, 6-8pm. Please enter through the Cafeteria doors at the west side of the school. The final show is Friday 4/24.

Thank you to our front office staff, Ms. Williams, Ms. Leybold and Ms. Dameron for all of your hard work and dedication to the Thurgood Marshall school community!

This week is also National Assistant Principals Week and we would like to honor our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Fields, for her dedication to supporting students, teachers and staff at Thurgood Marshall, and for helping to make our school run smoothly every day!

Just a heads up that Spring Enrichment at TME starts today, Monday, 3/23. Teachers have a list of afterschool activities and know where students will be headed afterschool. Please send your child with a nut-free snack. For those of you picking up your child, please pick them up promptly at the TME front door at the end of their class. A volunteer will be waiting to open the front doors at TME for you. I have also sent attendance rosters to YMCA for students headed to YMCA after class.

FTME is looking for a new Enrichment Coordinator for next year (26/27 school year) to make sure all of these awesome enrichment activities will continue to be available! Please email Zach if you’re interested: zstednick@tmlink.org

Our monthly FTME membership meeting is Monday 4/6, 6:30-7:30pm on Zoom. Please email fundraising@tmlink.org if you would like to join! Membership is free and we always welcome more members. We are also looking for board members for next year.
