The Marion School Board will hold a meeting tomorrow evening at 8:00 PM in the music room (after the elementary music concert) to publicly discuss and review a draft document presented to the Parker School District. The document outlines potential terms and timelines for the schools to create an all-sports cooperative. The Parker School Board publicly reviewed this document on Monday night, March 24. Public comment will be available after the document and Board discussion has occurred. Directives for speaking during the open meeting will be outlined by Marion School Board President, Scott Tieszen, at that time. Talks between the two schools are ongoing.
As a reminder, the elementary music concert will be Thursday evening at 6:45 PM in the new gym. All preschool through 3rd grade students need to please report to their classroom by 6:30 and 4th - 6th grade students should be in the gym at/prior to 6:30. Looking forward to an amazing night, we hope you can make it!

Thank you for the overwhelming response to our Summer Bear Care program! Due to high enrollment, we’ve reached capacity for the summer...However, if you’d like to still enroll, we encourage you to join our waiting list by submitting an application with a check (which will NOT be cashed unless a spot opens). We ask that this be completed (joining the waiting list) prior to April 17th. With this list we'll be able to a possibly expand to open more slots while assessing staffing needs. We’ll keep you updated! Thanks for your support and please reach out with any questions.

The 1st grade class did an amazing job creating a puppet show. They wrote the story, built the set, and made their own characters. Their hard work paid off during the performance, and it was clear they had fun working together. It was a wonderful display of creativity and teamwork!
Even though Stampede didn't pull out the win, we certainly did! Thanks for all who ventured out last night to support these kids!
If you've got nothing going on tonight, the Bethel College (Mrs. Epp's alma mater!) Choir will be performing at 7pm at the Salem Mennonite church in Freeman!

Scotland School is thrilled to once again host the local Area Band Festival, following its successful reintroduction in 2022!
Today, talented musicians from across the region will come together for a full day of rehearsals and collaboration, culminating in a special concert at 5:00 PM in the Main Gym. The festival features two ensembles: a junior high band and a high school band, each led by an experienced director.
Participating schools include Scotland, Bon Homme, Menno, Avon, Tripp-Delmont, Alcester-Hudson, Viborg-Hurley, Irene-Wakonda, Armour, and Parker. Students were nominated by their band directors for this incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and perform alongside their peers.
If you can't join us in person, you can still enjoy the concert via livestream at: https://www.youtube.com/c/ScotlandHighlandersLive
We look forward to an evening of outstanding music—see you there! 🎶
Exploring Light and Vision! 🌈👁️
Today, our students dove into the fascinating world of light and the human eye. We started by creating spectroscopes to discover the colors hidden in white light. They were amazed by how light splits into a spectrum, revealing the vibrant rainbow of colors that make it up!
Next, we learned how the human eye works by making a paper model of the eye. Using a magnifying glass as the cornea, we demonstrated how light focuses onto the retina, helping us see the world around us. It was incredible to see their reactions as they grasped how this complex system helps us perceive everything in such detail!
It’s always exciting when hands-on learning sparks curiosity and wonder. 🌟 #STEM #ScienceFun #LightAndVision #HandsOnLearning #Exploration
