Today we had a community member shadow the principal and become the " principal for the day".

It was a positive experience, we at Thurgood Marshall are doing important and exciting work and it is crucial that we get our story out.

Congratulations Mrs. Greene


Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that one of our teachers, Emily Greene, has won a $25,000 grant for your school through the Chevron Classroom Challenge!

Ms. Greene submitted a STEM-focused classroom project to DonorsChoose.org that demonstrated a commitment to excellence and innovation that their panel of judges felt was above and beyond the many submissions they received from across Contra Costa and Alameda counties. The Chevron Classroom Challenge grant of $25,000 will be awarded to our school for use in supporting more STEM academic programs, just like the one submitted by Ms. Greene.

In addition to receiving the grant, Chevron will also be recognizing Ms. Greene at a Chevron Classroom Challenge Awards Dinner at the Concord Hilton.


To further acknowledge our school’s commitment to excellence and innovation in education, Chevron will be sending us a banner to recognize Thurgood Marshall Elementary School as a Chevron Classroom Challenge winner.

Way To Go Mrs. Greene!
