“🎶 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!

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
