This week, Marion School’s Middle School students took a field trip to Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park! 🦴🌋
Students had an amazing time learning about Nebraska’s prehistoric past, exploring real fossil beds, and discovering how volcanic ash preserved ancient animals millions of years ago. It was a fun and educational experience filled with hands-on learning and great memories! 🚌📚

Bio II students got to visit the Prairie Roots Produce farm in rural Freeman. They got a tour of the greenhouses and plant beds, they helped plant green bean seedlings with a Japanese paper pot seeder and they also got to pick and sample some fresh radishes and turnips. The highlight though was petting a newborn lamb that was just born yesterday! Thank you Andre and Lillie Eisenbeis for showing us your farming operation!

A huge THANK YOU to this group of educators! The Marion School District is happy to have you all on board and appreciate all that you do for our students and school! Also, a big thank you to our Booster Club for treating the teachers/staff to food, fun, and games this week!
Hello Middle School Parents! Just a friendly reminder about the Middle School field trip TOMORROW, Wednesday, May 6. Please have your children be at the school by 7:10am or sooner so we can promptly leave at 7:15am. Also don't forget to send a sack lunch with kids if they aren't getting school lunch. It might be chilly so tennis shoes, a jacket or hooded sweatshirt would be good. Thanks so much!

The fourth graders had a wonderful time at their Adopt-a-Grandparent visit with the residents at Tieszen Memorial Home. They shared poems, played their recorders, and made May baskets together. It was a special day filled with smiles, music, and meaningful connections! 💐🎶

The second graders learned about pioneer life through hands-on experiences with Discovery Packs from the Siouxland Heritage Museum. They used tools from long ago such as a corn planter, butter churn, and rug beater. Students dressed in pioneer clothing and played games such as "Who's Got the Button", "Snatch a Hat", "Drop the Handkerchief", "Old Bowler", and "Nine Pins."
