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

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.

Health and Wellness Services Needed

It has become increasingly evident that we need health services available for our children.
Unfortunately, the school does not have the funds to sustain such a project. I am asking that our families and supporters begin to advocate on our behalf. Please speak with the medical professionals that you know and ask them if they would be willing to donate 1 day every two months to support the health of our students. They can call me at 510-639-3275 to learn more about this need.

Blessings, Mrs. Woods-Cadiz

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.
