How Does Marshall Support Student Wellness?

This Wednesday, February 19th, at 7:30 PM on Zoom, we are excited to welcome Marshall HS Wellness Leads Katy Sokolove, Pierce Bello, and Elizabeth Wahl, Director of Student Services, to our PTSA Community Meeting. They will discuss how Marshall supports student wellness and the resources available to our students. You don’t want to miss this important discussion!

The Zoom link will be emailed out the day of the event.

Our Silent Auction is our biggest fundraiser, and we need donations. ANGC costs nearly $90,000; every contribution helps ensure our seniors have a safe and memorable night!

How You Can Help: (note: all contributions are tax-deductible, and we will provide you with the necessary documentation)

***See our Signup Genius for ideas and/or to donate an item or two.***

Donate an item or experience – We need tickets to sporting events, gift certificates, unique experiences, lessons, classes, coaching sessions, and themed gift baskets.

Don't have big-ticket items to donate? No problem! Gather some friends and put together a fun basket! Look at our SignUpGenius for ideas, or come up with your own creative theme.

Ask for business donations. Do you know a business that might be willing to contribute? Reach out and ask for a donation—every bit helps!

Volunteer your time – We urgently need help organizing donations, listing items online, and handling distribution. If you can lend a hand, please email classof2025@gcmptsa.org

Get Ready to Bid: Everyone is welcome to bid on the items. Our Silent Auction will go live towards the end of March. Stay tuned for dates.

Please contact classof2025@gcmptsa.org with any questions.
