Hello Marauder families —
An update: we’ve added to the document shared yesterday, which now includes all local food pantry resources—including the Elsie Area Food Pantry information—so everything is in one handy place.
You can view the full resource list here: https://aptg.co/78ZKkm
Please note: the Shiawassee County Food Pantry Resources page lists incorrect contact information for the Elsie Area Food Pantry. For the correct phone numbers, hours, and November calendar, please refer to the document linked above or the information we sent yesterday.
If you need help or have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me or your building counselor. We want to make it as easy as possible for families to get the support they need. 💙
— Melissa, District Nurse

Dads at the Door: A Wonderful Way to Start the Day!
What a fabulous morning we had today! Our inaugural Dads at the Door event was an absolute smash hit, bringing smiles to everyone's faces right from the moment they walked into the school.
We had an amazing group of fathers, and other important male role models who volunteered their time to high-five, give fist-bumps, and share encouraging words with our students as they arrived.
Seeing our students' faces light up as dads were waiting to greet them was truly heartwarming. The energy was electric! It's such a simple way to remind our kids that our entire community supports their education and wants them to have a wonderful, successful day of learning.
This kind of positive welcome sets a great tone for the whole school. Thank you so much to all the dads who participated—you made today feel extra special. We can't wait to make Dads at the Door a recurring highlight throughout the school year!
