Our 1st-Grade SEARCH students were busy thinking like engineers, scientists, and data analysts! Students tackled a collaborative cup-stacking engineering challenge, explored color theory by creating shades of green, and surveyed their peers to determine their favorite shades. They then transformed their survey results into bar graphs and developed questions based on their data. What a fun way to build critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and data literacy through hands-on learning! 🌱🔬📊💡

🚗🍬🎃 CALLING ALL CREATIVE MARLIN FAMILIES! 🎃🍬🚗

Our Trunk or Treat is October 30th, and we need YOU to help make it amazing! 🐟💜

We absolutely LOVE seeing the creativity our families bring to their trunks each year, and we can’t wait to see what you dream up this time! 👻✨ Funny, spookyish, silly, themed, over-the-top...we love them ALL!

🍭 AND HERE’S THE BEST PART: You decorate the trunk, and PTO provides the candy! That’s right...you do NOT have to supply candy for our 700 Marlins! 🙌😂

🏫 PLEASE NOTE: Trunk or Treat is an IN-SCHOOL EVENT for students only. Families will not attend as guests, but we would LOVE to have you join the fun by volunteering with PTO and hosting a trunk! 🎃💜

🚨 One important note: If you sign up to host a trunk, you must be able to stay for the ENTIRE Trunk or Treat time slot, not just your child’s grade-level time. You can also stay all day if you would like!

🎃 WE NEED TRUNKS TO MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN! 🎃

If you’re ready to join the fun, PLEASE SIGN UP TO HOST A TRUNK!
