On May 6 we will be taking a field trip to the Ashfall Fossil bed historical park in Nebraska. Because of the length of travel, we will need to leave by 7:15am sharp. Please make sure that your students arrive ON TIME so we won’t be late. Students can bring their own sack lunch or get a sack lunch from the school. I need to get permission for every student to attend. Your child should be bringing home a permission slip but you can also email me to give permission. Thanks! Mrs. Friesen Lacey.friesen@k12.sd.us
The Marion Booster Club is currently running a fundraising campaign. Thank you to all businesses and individuals that have graciously donated to these efforts...It is so generous and appreciated! If you'd like to help contribute, please see their flyer for more information.

Students maxed in three lifts—bench, squat, and deadlift—and their combined totals earned them placement in a pound club based on their achievements.
On behalf of the Marion Strength Program, we would like to thank NuGen Energy for their generous donation and Victoria Blau for making the shirts.

Congratulations as well to our High School and Middle School High Honors and Honors students! We are proud of your dedication and commitment to your academics. Keep up the great work! 📚✨
