Markham Elementary recognized Red Ribbon Week with many activities throughout the week. All week long students and staff participated in activities promoting drug free awareness, such as "Stay in the game and be drug free" by wearing their favorite team jersey or shirt and "Its Groovy to be Drug Free" by dressing in 60s/70s attire. On Friday, students and staff dressed as their favorite story book character. Staff members showed "Good Character" by dressing up as characters from the book, The Wizard of Oz.

Each week, students at Markham Elementary nominate words they would like to see as the vocabulary word for the upcoming week. Students write the word they are nominating, along with the part of speech and definition on a form, and submit it for consideration. If their word is chosen, that student presents their vocabulary word each morning during morning assembly. Once the week is up, their picture and vocabulary word are displayed in the hallways. Games are played throughout the year using the weekly vocabulary words.

Students and staff at Markham Elementary are working together to keep our campus and planet cleaner and greener. A group of students have named themselves the "GREEN TEAM"!
