Attention parents of students who will be in band next year in 7th grade:
On Monday, May 10, and Tuesday, May 11, the Marion Band will host Amro Music Co. from Memphis at the Marion Performing Arts Center lobby from 2:30-7 p.m. Parents will need to make a deposit on an instrument one of these days. No appointment is needed; however, we are asking parents to come on the day in which your child's instrument is listed:
Monday, May 10: Flute, clarinet, saxophone
Tuesday, May 11: Trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, percussion
You may come on a day that is not assigned if needed. This is an inexpensive way to obtain a high-quality instrument that will ensure student success.
Students will not receive their instruments until school begins in July. We want to make sure they receive the correct instruction before we begin playing. The meeting is to secure your child's instrument prior to the new school year.
If there are any financial concerns or other questions, please reach out to Mr. Monty Hill at mhill@msd3.org. Thank you!

Students in Ms. Lane’s kindergarten class and Mrs. High’s fourth grade homeroom joined Ms. Burt and Mrs. Banks on a Nature Walk around the Greenhouse! The fourth graders assisted the kindergartners in identifying flowers, leaves, and insects and were able to use their devices to capture and upload their finds! 🌸🍃🪰
We are so proud and impressed by all of our students who have been helping with morning announcements! This week's amazing helpers were Adrian, Alexis, Haley, Jayden, RJ, Noel, Kirsten, Kymora, Cooper, Neeson, and Jaxon.
