HELP NEEDED FOR SPECIAL EVENT

Freshman, Sophomore & Junior Parents — We Need Your Help!


We are currently seeking food and drink donations, as well as volunteers, to help make the Senior Reflection Night Reception a memorable evening for the Class of 2026 and their families!


Senior Reflection Night is a special evening of inspiration, reflection, and celebration for Marshall's graduating seniors. This year's service will be held on Friday, June 5th, at 7:00 PM at Vienna Presbyterian Church. A reception for graduates, families, and guests will immediately follow from approximately 8:00–9:30 PM.


We would greatly appreciate donations of food, desserts, beverages, and supplies to help create a warm and festive celebration for our seniors.

SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS:

Every Senior Deserves to Celebrate Their Final Year at GCM


Senior year is filled with once-in-a-lifetime memories — graduation, the yearbook, senior events, and celebrating alongside friends. At George C. Marshall High School, we believe every senior deserves to experience these important milestones, regardless of financial circumstances.


The Committee for Supporting Seniors helps ensure that students facing financial hardship can fully participate in all aspects of senior year, including senior dues, yearbooks, and the All-Night Graduation Celebration. Senior expenses can total $250–$300 per student, and for some families, those costs can be overwhelming.


This year, we expect to support more than 80 seniors from the Class of 2026.


Your donation can make a direct and meaningful difference in a student's life. With your support, we can help ensure that no senior misses out on these cherished moments simply because of financial need.


Ways to Give

• Donate through Givebacks (link below)

• Donate via Venmo: @GCMPTSA

(Please include "Senior Support" in the comments.)


If your senior student needs assistance, please get in touch with the GCM school social worker or school counselor.


On behalf of the PTSA, Marshall staff, and our deserving seniors, thank you for helping make senior year memorable for every student.

REVEILLE 2026 HAS ARRIVED!

Experience "Polarity" — Marshall's Award-Winning Literary & Art Magazine


We are excited to announce that the 2026 issue of Reveille has arrived! Reveille is Marshall High School's award-winning literary and art magazine. This publication, which is entirely student-led, annually collects submissions from Marshall students, ranging from poetry and short stories to paintings and photographs. Student editors then compile submissions into a magazine that is printed and distributed once a year. Editions from previous years have received extensive praise and numerous awards from the Virginia High School League!

 

This year's issue, titled "Polarity", is an examination of the contrast between solitude and connection. The editors worked together for months choosing submissions, arranging pieces together, and working with graphic design software to create this year's beautiful edition. Some of the pieces included have been recognized by the national Scholastic Art and Writing awards! 

 

Buy a copy of the magazine for just $10 and help support student artists, writers, musicians, and editors at Marshall! Pay using the MySchoolBucks link provided or through the QR code.
