Join us for our annual Magruder Book Fair.  This year's HUGE selection of affordable books and educational products helps inspire reading among our Panther Cubs.  Hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. each day, with extended hours until 6 p.m. Thursday due to the 4th and 5th Grade Parent Learning Night occurring this Thursday.   Please reach out to your child's teacher and Dr. Puhlick, our library media specialist, for more information.

Out with the social media and texting, and in with some classic pen pals.  Our 5th-grade Panther Cubs have had the chance to each have 2 pen pals this year.  The first is a William and Mary Tribe athlete.  The second pen pal is a 12th-grader at Bruton High School.  These connections have been wonderful for all involved.

Our outstanding Magruder Anchored4Life team is collecting much needed items for our local community partners.  Thanks to our Anchored4Life team for all that they do for our Panther Cubs and the Magruder community.

York County School Division values input and feedback from families, staff and community members. We’ve scheduled two community sessions in December to gather your ideas and questions regarding the division’s budget.

Kindergarteners were recently treated to a celebration of Yorktown Victory Day by inviting Mr. Bennett (Magruder teacher) and Mr. Wilson (Magruder parent) who both play for the Colonial Williamsburg Fife and Drum Corps to lead our parade around the school. The Kindergartners learned the importance of the Yorktown Battle and were happy to celebrate as they marched with their own fife, drums, hats, and flags in their parade.

Congrats to Mrs. Bowman being named Magruder's Teacher of the Year.

Our 5th-grade Panther Cubs used their scientific investigation skills to evaluate the impact that different liquid substances had on gummy bears.  Be sure to ask your Panther Cubs about the science experiments they have done so far this school year.
