Students at South River Elementary have been loving the snow at recess! Ahh, to be a kid. ❄️🤩 #WeRMarshfield
Fourth graders in Mrs. Backlund’s class have set a goal this year to bring more kindness and joy into our community. 🫶 BTru means “Be Altruistic.” Altruism is the act of doing something for someone without expecting anything in return. We recognized people in our lives for their wisdom, strength, stability, patience, and time by writing letters and decorating BTru Rock as a symbolic gift. We presented the rocks to these people last Friday to thank them for being a “rock” in our community. 🪨🤗💚 #WeRMarshfield
At South River Elementary School, Miss Pollard's 1st grade class passed 500 math i-Ready lessons and the students voted to celebrate by having an afternoon of dramatic play. 🤗 They had a post office 📬, a restaurant 🍽, a vet 🐶, and an ice cream store🍦. Lots of creativity was needed to write letters, explain the animals' ailments, record customers' orders, write and create a menu, pay the correct amount, deliver the mail, and so on. #WeRMarshfield
Elementary Band, String and Chorus students at each of our five elementary schools put on two concerts (one for school and one for families) before Winter Break. These students are the future of our Marshfield Music Program and we are so proud of them! 🤩💚 #WeRMarshfield
