Good evening, Here is the school board agenda for tomorrow night's community meeting. We hope to see you there!
The 4th grade students did an engineering challenge today. They had to design a boat that can support the weight of marbles. Student groups had to budget money to buy supplies for building supplies and had to figure in for the improvements needed. We held a competition and had a tie win with 44 marbles!
We wanted to communicate a school calendar adjustment. To accomodate some professional developement for our staff we "flip-flopped" Friday October 20th with Friday November 17th. So, what that means is that next Friday, October 20th, will now be a Friday Help Day for students and the planned inservice day will move to Friday November 17th. If you have any questions please let me know, brian.brosnahan@k12.sd.us. Additionally, please join us on Monday the 16th of October and Monday the 6th of November for our community meetings outlining Marion's vision for the future! Again, please reach out with any questions. Thank you!
