  • John Marshall is in Bloom

    The John Marshall Environmental Gardening Club has been very busy planting over 20 new perennials, and over 70 annuals in our front gardens. Many of our new flowers were donated by the Home Depot of Edison. Members of the club have also been weeding and cleaning up litter around the school in order to keep John Marshall School shining. We have been lucky enough to have Mrs. Ward, a Board of Education Member, join us in our weekly meeting. Also, a special thank you to the O'Connor family for their generous donation to our club.

 Below you find pictures of our Preparation for NJASK.  The 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders performed in a Pep Rally where they all participated in a positive chant and then put their own special test twist on a familiar song.  Each class did an excellent job and helped set a positive tone for Testing.  The 3rd graders also had their own special rally since this was their first taste of NJASK testing!  During their rally, the students participated in activities to help remind them of some important things on testing days. The students did a T-Shirt Relay Race to remind them to dress comfortably on the days of testing. Next, they rotated to an Egg on the Spoon Relay, to remind them to eat a healthy breakfast filled with "brain food" before coming to school. Students then headed to a "Fill in the Circle" Relay Race, where they had to race to fill in the BIG circle neatly and completely to remind them to do the same when completing multiple choice questions. On the final rotation, the students wrote motivational sayings on sentence strips attached to a star to decorate our hallway with encouraging words for the students to read on the way in in the morning. These stars lead us to "Proficiency and Beyond!" At this station, they also practiced relaxation techniques to get their minds ready and to calm their nerves. To culminate the activity, the classes met to read Testing Miss Malarcky and ate some S.M.A.R.T. cookies!

We are a diverse community with students representing cultures from all over the world.  We have an active Human Relations Committee which works closely with our PTO to plan a wide variety of family-oriented evening programs and daytime assemblies.  John Marshall has partnered with the Edison Municipal Alliance.  This program works with parents and children to help strengthen the family unit.

We provide our students with a wide variety of opportunities to explore and express their thoughts.   We publish a quarterly school newspaper focusing on student writing.  Students are rewarded for meeting and exceeding their leisure reading goals through numerous programs.
