On Friday, April 3rd, from 9:00 am-12:00 pm, MES will host our annual Career Day, and we would love to have our amazing Bruton community members present to our students.  We are looking for careers to highlight to show our Panther Cubs all of the great jobs we have here in Magruder.   Breakfast and lunch will be provided for our presenters.  Please reach out if you have any questions.  Thank you!  

Magruder's Battle of the Books team continues to meet weekly to work through numerous children's novels.  These Panther Cubs have been working hard as a team to build on their comprehension skills while gaining a deeper engagement with literature.   We wish them well at the regional Battle of the Books competition next month.

Our Panther staff celebrates students every month who exemplify the character trait we are focusing on that month. January's month featured the important trait CARING/KINDNESS.  From Kindergarten through 5th grade, teachers selected multiple students from their class who consistently demonstrate kindness and consideration for others.  Students are recognized at lunch in front of their classmates with a certificate and a prize from our amazing school counselors.  Check out our Magruder social media accounts later this week for more winners, and be on the lookout for activities focusing on COOPERATION, which is the character trait for the month of February.

Team Magruder represented well at last month's Sleighbell 5k. Over 50 students and staff members participated in the 5k, and Magruder's own Willow won the 5k for her age division.  Congrats to all of our Panther Cubs and their families and Magruder staff members for participating!    

Be on the lookout for information about our spring running club!

Tips for a successful 2026.

Magruder was lucky last week to have one of its very own win a STAR Achievement Award.  Mrs. Dallas, our school Physical Therapist, helps support our Panther Cubs with physical challenges access a education here at Magruder by improving student mobility, balance, strength, and motor skills for classroom and playground participation.  Congrats Mrs. Dallas!  

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.
