Jamie Buteyn from the Turner County Sheriff's Office recently visited Marion's 9th grade Health class. Before the visit, the students prepared a list of questions covering topics such as tobacco, alcohol, drugs, mental health, penalties for breaking the law, and stories of the job, all relevant to the material covered in class. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to Jamie Buteyn and the Sheriff's Office for taking the time to engage with our students and provide valuable insights. The students truly appreciated the opportunity to learn from a member of law enforcement and gain a deeper understanding of these important topics. Thank you again to the Turner County Sheriff's Office for their ongoing support of our school community.

Geometry learned about circles and did a project making stained glass. They had to come up with a theme and put four things on their circle that they learned about circles or in Geometry this year. Algebra 1 learned about quadratics and did a project making an Angry Birds board. They had to make four equations and find the path of the bird to see whether they would hit the pigs on their boards or not. Both projects are displayed outside of the high school math room on the stairs if you want to take a closer look at them!
