The Tattoo a Teacher fundraiser was a success! Thanks to all the students and teachers who participated and made it fun for everyone!! Not all could make it to the group pic, but here's a sample of the ink we saw today!

Marion Elementary Kids Heart Challenge
As part of Liz Piehl’s senior project, Marion Elementary students are participating in the Kids Heart Challenge to support the American Heart Association!
Please take a look at the attached information and the flyer sent home today in your student’s backpack.
To get things started, if 30 students register online by Monday, all elementary students will earn extra recess time!
With the help of our elementary students and their families, Liz hopes to raise $2,500 for the American Heart Association. If this goal is reached, Mr. Leberman will move his office to the roof for a day!
Thank you for supporting Liz’s senior project and helping our students learn the importance of heart health while giving back to a great cause. Let’s see what our Marion Bears can accomplish together!

Our Chemistry classes celebrated Mole Day today, October 19th! Although Mole Day is typically celebrated on October 23, we switched days to work around other school activities.
Mole Day celebrates Avogadro’s number, and our students had a blast celebrating with mole cupcakes, mole dirt, guaca-mole, and several other treats! They also played Pin the Tail on the Mole and a version of Capture the Flag where they had to build a helium atom.
Two highlights were the class T-shirts and a 3D-printed mole!
A big thank-you to our sophomores and juniors for their creativity and for making this a fun and memorable celebration!
