Thurgood Marshall Arts Anchor School

This year Thurgood Marshall Elementary became an OUSD Arts Anchor School. In addition to challenging academics our students participate in band, choral, interpretive dance, and instrumental training. Our students under the leadership of Tom Salvatore participated in a multi school music festival. Here are some pictures of the event.

A Great School !

Calling All Families!

We know that we have a great school at Thurgood Marshall Elementary. We are asking those who agree to spread the word. We are looking to increase our enrolment for the 2011-2012 school year in our kindergarten and first grade classes.

The person that refers the highest number of enrolled families for the 2011-2012 year will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the retail store of their choice (card provided by a private donor).

We are including pictures of our wonderful school for reference.

Pictures From The Raider's Visit

A Nice Raider's Surprise

Today our students received a nice treat. Darrius Heyward-Bey #85 (Wide Receiver) and Matt Shaughnessy #77 (Defensive End) from the Oakland Raiders stopped by to talk with the students about setting goals and living healthy.

In addition to giving great advice, both players gave a donation of $10,000.00 on behalf of NFL Play 60.

Students who showed significant academic growth in ELA were able to join both player and the Raiderettes in a physical education class.

Awesome Dad's Club

Thanks Dads for doing such a great job on the Harvest Festival.



Dad's Club meets monthly at Skyline Pizza. Look for the date and time in the monthly newsletter.

The Raiders Are Showing Some Love to Thurgood Marshall Elementary Students

In honor of the work that was done during Jack Tatum Day, the NFL has chosen our school to be the recipients of a $10,000.00 Health and Wellness Grant.

In addition to this generous donation, two outstanding and dynamic Raider players will host a school wide assembly and exercise session for our students who have made gains in reading.

I am proud to say that I am from a city that takes care of its youth.


Way to go Raiders, loving that silver and black energy!


Please note, activities will be open to students, faculty and staff only.
