The Marion Staff had a blast a couple of weeks ago during their Underground Dress-Up Days! The week was full of surprises, starting with Anything But a Water Bottle Day, followed by Blackout Day, Wacky Wednesday, and even Dress Like a Student Day. They wrapped up the week with a cozy Pajama Day.
The staff had so much fun getting creative with their outfits, but the best part? The students were completely confused, trying to figure out what was going on! It was a week full of laughter, fun, and plenty of curious looks from the students.

Our 4th and 5th-grade students recently completed a fun and educational STEM project where they built bridges out of popsicle sticks and glue! This hands-on activity helped them explore important concepts like measurements, engineering design, and how to distribute weight across a structure.
