Marine Elementary:
Small School • Big Results

Welcome to Marine Elementary! We are proud of our small school in the riverside community of Marine on St. Croix, in the northern part of the Stillwater, MN, school district. Marine Elementary excels in every measure that matters: test scores, social and emotional learning, creativity, innovation, teacher experience, and so much more. With emphasis on academics and strong parental/community involvement, Marine Elementary kids are prepared for their next steps. Marine Elementary:

• Maintains a long tradition of academic excellence
• Creates an intimate learning environment
• Is welcoming and accessible
• Features an unmatched blend of outdoor stewardship and performing, fine, and literary arts
• Recognizes that students whose families are highly involved are considerably more successful in school

The MSA has been a part of that learning community since 1965.  When the state funding cuts impact the learning experience for our students, the MSA has kicked up our efforts to help meet the fiscal shortfalls at Marine. 

The MSA funds: sports equipment (ice rink skating aids, skate sharpening, Cross country skis), artist in residence, author in residence, field trips/busing, classroom books, sixth-grade play, square dance, skate and eat, Halloween tailgating, school marketing, library books, school supplies/materials, school forest coordinator, health supplies, building improvements, and numerous teacher requests.
