·      The Marlatt Color Trot is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Every Marlatt student is required to wear sunglasses to participate in the race and they can earn sunglasses by bringing in at least one donation. More info about the Color Trot can be found on the blog: www.marlattcolortrot.blogspot.com.

·      Please be aware that students with an F in any class will be required to work on missing work or corrections during upcoming fun activities that are not a part of a class assignment (ie. FIT 6, 6^th grade picnic, etc.). This is consistent with both AMS and EMS policies.

·      We are beginning to collect pictures for the 6^th grade end of the year slide show. Please send those pictures via email (katies@usd383.org) or flash drive to Mrs. Sibbitt. We are specifically looking for 4-6 school age photos of your child alone or with a group at a school event. These will be put into a slide show that will be played at the 6^th grade transition ceremony.
