With various programs and activities, your child will have the opportunity to participate in such things as athletics, community groups, or they may choose to compete in district-wide mathematics and spelling competitions.
Every student has the opportunity to participate and compete as a member of the Thurgood Marshall Elementary/Middle School athletic team and club/organization. Such participation fosters teamwork, character building, and individual maturation.

Building Healthy Communities
The Building Healthy Communities is a Step Up for School Wellness program that provides students, teachers and administrators with the training, curriculum, equipment, funds, communication tools and external coaches needed to create a healthy school environment that supports a culture of wellness. Schools that have previously participated in Building Healthy Communities: Step Up for School Wellness can apply to add new resources. Last year, Thurgood Marshall received a blender for healthy beverages but due to the pandemic, implementation did not take place.
