“🎶 Our young musicians are hard at work learning to play the recorder! From first notes to full songs, they’re making great progress!

“Quiet moments of reading in class are the best! 📚✨ Our students are fully immersed in their books, exploring new worlds and expanding their imaginations. There’s nothing like the power of silent reading to foster focus and a love of learning. Keep turning those pages!



🌟 Kindness Challenge Begins Next Week! 🌟
Next week kicks off our Kindness Challenge here at Marguerite Vann Elementary, and we are so excited to spread kindness in our community! ❤️
As part of the challenge, we will be collecting items to support the Conway Emergency Shelter. A letter will be sent home in backpacks today with details about the items they need. Some of the items include:
🪥 Travel-size toothbrushes
🧴 Toothpaste
🛁 Shampoo/conditioner
Items can be sent with your student or dropped off at the school next week.
Thank you for helping us make a difference and showing kindness to those in need. Together, we can make a big impact! 💕

Inspired by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., one of our school's neighbors (who wishes to remain anonymous) has made a generous contribution toward unpaid student lunch accounts at Marguerite Vann. May this act of kindness encourage ALL of us to ask ourselves, "What am I doing for others?" #beincredible

🌟 Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day 🌟
