On Sept. 3, Marlboro Elementary School students and their families chalked up some creativity, bringing colorful and positive vibes to greet the young Dukes on their first day of school. Thanks to the Marlboro Elementary School PTA and all who participated in making the walk into school a bit brighter!

More exciting news from the MCSD Food Services Department: This year, Marlboro Middle and High School cafeterias will offer Rockland Bakery products on their deli lines. Look for fresh items like sourdough bread, Italian white bread, kaiser rolls, and gluten-free options. Families interested in gluten-free options (also available at Marlboro Elementary) should contact their school’s cafeteria staff to place orders in advance. Happy dining, Marlboro!

A big thank you to all the new and returning students who helped swing and slide into September at Marlboro Elementary’s “Playground with the Principals” event on Aug. 30. Students met Principal Jena Thomas and Assistant Principal Sarah Amodeo, enjoyed time with friends, and cooled off with frozen popsicles on a warm late-summer day.
