Attention Patriots!

See you Monday morning!

Attention Patriot Nation!

From Marion School District to Patriot Nation!

Attention MSD Families: Just a reminder

Make plans to join the MJHS and MHS Bands on Tuesday, December 10th for their winter concert! Performances will include the 7th-Grade Beginning Band, 8th-Grade Band, 9th-Grade Band, High School Band, Jazz Band and more! 6:00 PM at the Marion Performing Arts Center. Hope to see you there!

'Tis the season for giving! MHS is having it's annual canned food drive starting today December 2-12. Boxes will be placed in the main office as well as many classrooms that are participating in collecting canned food items for Hope House. The holiday season is full of opportunities to give to those who can’t afford to put nourishing meals on their family’s table. And we desperately need to take advantage of these opportunities. Though hunger may sound like a problem of the past – since obesity is often the more visible and talked-about issue – this is far from the truth. More than 49 million Americans live in food-insecure households, and 16 million of these people are children. What hungry families need is not the Kraft Mac & Cheese that’s been sitting at the back of our pantry for two years, or the ketchup we never got around to using. Rather, they need healthy, high-quality foods that promote good eating habits any improved overall health. Below is a link with even more information & suggestions for what is the best foods to donate and why... https://eating-made-easy.com/10-best-foods-donate-food-drive/

As an introduction into the probability unit in AP Statistics, Farrah McFarland's students watched and discussed the game show, Deal or No Deal. The students played the game in class, and throughout the game they discussed the changing probability (as the number of cases decline) in winning a high amount. They students weighed their odds in whether they should settle for a small offer or continue playing for a large amount. Click the link for more photos.... http://bit.ly/2qE6Pi1

Bonjour! Students in Ms. Rich's French classes have received letters from their new French-speaking penpals. Over the course of this school year, the Marion students will be corresponding with this group of students from France. These students are learning English as a second language at the Collège Don Bosco in the Mayenne district of northwestern France. Their teacher Séverine Bourgneuf and the MSD French teacher Amanda Rich have been working together for the past year to connect their students across the globe. In addition to practicing their language skills, the students in both countries are able to learn more about each other's culture through these letters. Marion students are also realizing just how much in common they have with teenagers from France. C'est fantastique!
