Today our fourth graders visited the nursing home for our Adopt-a-Grandparent program, and it was such a fun afternoon! We kicked things off with an activity where students and residents tried to catch cheese balls using shower caps covered in shaving cream. There were lots of giggles, and some pretty unforgettable cheese-ball hairdos.
We also shared two Thanksgiving poems with our adopted grandparents to round out the afternoon. It was a sweet mix of fun, connection, and holiday spirit.

Good morning. It was brought to our attention that the logos on the state football shirts were incorrect. If you purchased shirts at the Dome and notice the Flyer logo instead of the Phoenix logo, you can contact Linda Luke at Marion School to have them remade. Please bring the t-shirts to her by 11/26/2025 so she can deliver them to the person who will remake them. You will need to turn in your old shirt, but a new one will be provided in exchange.
