The Marion School District recently conducted its final fire drill of the year in collaboration with the volunteer firefighter department, and I am delighted to report that it was a resounding success! Both the students and the firefighters demonstrated exemplary commitment and cooperation throughout the drill.
It's reassuring to know that in the event of an emergency, our school and students will be in capable hands with the support of the fire department. This partnership underscores the importance of preparedness and highlights our shared dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in our school community.
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all involved, from the firefighters who generously volunteer their time to our diligent students and staff who take fire safety seriously. Together, we make Marion School a safer place for all. Great job, everyone!

Connecting with another class through pen pal letters is such a wonderful experience for students. Meeting face-to-face must have been a highly anticipated moment for both the Marion School District and Menno School District 3rd graders. These interactions not only foster friendships but also promote cultural exchange and empathy. It's fantastic to see schools coming together to create these opportunities for their students to connect and learn from one another. Kudos to Mr. Gross and Mrs. Massey for their initiative and dedication in organizing such a meaningful experience for the students.
On Wednesday our awesome kitchen crew and some helpers put together a fantastic picnic-style lunch for everyone at Marion School.
It was a perfect day to be outside, and the weather totally cooperated. The kids and staff had a blast eating together outdoors and enjoying the fresh air.
We served up some delicious turkey and cheese subs, along with carrots, fruit cups, choice of milk, and of course, dessert. It was a hit!
It's moments like these that really bring our school community together. Huge shout out to the kitchen crew and helpers for making it happen!
