Ms. Alvey accepted a School of Excellence commemorative flag on behalf of Marumsco Hills Elementary at a school board awards ceremony. 

Some of the reasons Marumsco Hills Elementary was selected as a School of Excellence are:

• At Marumsco Hills, staff analyzes test data and develops instructional strategies to address students’ weaknesses. 
• Teachers and staff provide after-school tutoring programs for third and fifth grade students.

• Staff, teachers, parents, and students maintain a “Can-Do” climate of high expectations.

• Inclusion strategies are implemented for ESOL and special education students.
