Marek Elementary PTO

We know the school year isn’t ending quite how we wanted ⛈️, but on the bright side we still have our last spirit night of the year tomorrow at Chuck E. Cheese! We hope you can join us as we celebrate an otherwise amazing year!

Secondly, a HUGE congratulations to Ms. Staes, Mrs. Rodriguez, Ms. Stevens, Mr. Lopez, Mrs. Hopson, and Mrs. Moulton’s homeroom classes for being our TOP BOOSTERthon fundraisers and earning a FREE pizza party! 🍕

But this celebration isn’t just for the winners — EVERYONE is invited to come hang out, play games, celebrate the end of the school year, and help support our school one last time this year! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who came out to our International Festival! 🌎The evening was made possible by our performers and country hosts who brought their beautiful cultural to every performance and booth. We are so proud of our diverse and welcoming community! 💙

Nolan Ryan Junior High National Junior Honor Society students stopped by to decorate our sidewalks with uplifting messages for our Mary Burks Marek Elementary students during STAAR testing! 💙

We love seeing student leaders spread kindness and support. Good luck to all our test-takers… you’ve got this! 🌟

We're almost through with testing season and it's time to celebrate! 🎉 Whether your kiddos were testing or being extra quiet and patient in the halls, they all deserve a sweet treat for their hard work! Stop by Jeremiah's Italian Ice this Thursday!

Join us on Friday, May 8th as we celebrate the multiculturalism and incredible diversity that makes our school community so special. ✨
