At Marvin, we celebrate growth… even if it means getting soaked! 💦😂

Students who met their MAP growth goal earned the chance to throw water balloons at Mrs. Cedeño and Mrs. Gabbard, and let’s just say they did NOT hold back!

The laughter, excitement, and smiles were absolutely worth every splash. We are so proud of our students for working hard, showing growth, and giving their best effort this year. Today was all about celebrating that success in a BIG way!
