== =Marshall Elementary School.....Who we are!= ===Hello! We are Marshall Elementry School and we are a K-5 school in suburban Pittsburgh. Marshall Elementary School is located in Wexford, (near Pittsburgh) Pennsylvania. Marshall Elementary School is one of 7 elementary schools that are part of the North Allegheny School District. We have a big school district! Marshall has over six-hundred students in grades K-5. Our school may be big, but it feels like a small family where everyone works to help each other. Marshall is very focused on education. Pittsburgh is about three hours from Washington D.C. and two hours from Cleveland. Pittsburgh used to be known as the “City of Steel”, but is not known by that name in the twenty-first century. Our city is home to the Pittsburgh Steelers (football) Pittsburgh Pirates (baseball) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (hockey). We are 5th graders who are excited to be a part of this wiki! Visit us soon!===

===We are doing a project called the Disney Planet Challenge. It is sponsored by Disney. That means that it is our job to do something to help the enviroment. We are currently working on stopping a bug called the Emerald Ash Borer from eating all of our Ash Trees. The bug is a shiny green color and is smaller than a penny. The Emerald Ash Borer also eats the soft tissue under the bark of the Ash Tree.===

===We have curently raised money at our school to help the community plant replacement trees. We raised $265 dollars. One of the things we have also done is make a commercial. We all had a part in it and it will be showing on our TV chanel some time soon. We are also having a community day to inform people about the bug and what they can do to help save their trees. If we don't do something about the bug, it will eat all of our ash trees. That is why we chose to do this. No trees, no air. If we don't have air, well, that's another story.===
