Marsh Elementary School

Ground breaking Day Update Hey OME families, Tuesday's groundbreaking event is more for a Media photo opportunity and we need to limit attendance, due to space, parking etc, Therefore, we ask that parents and families hold off on attending this event, but be assured when we have the ribbon cutting everyone will be invited!!! Thank you for your understanding and have a great weekend. ~ Mrs. Conaway
