This is not a school-sponsored activity but it could possibly be an opportunity for some of our students. Check it out if interested. Thank you!
As we continue updating and organizing the Marion School, we've cleaned out our trophy cases and have a collection of older trophies (dating from the 1940s through the 2000s) that we're ready to part with.
If you, your family, or someone you know may have an interest in these pieces of Marion School history, you're welcome to stop by and take a look. The trophies will be available in the small gymnasium through Monday, August 24. After that date, any remaining trophies will be discarded.
We'd love to see these memories find their way back to those who helped earn them!
