Good morning! The Marion School will be utilizing a new school picture photographer this year. We have partnered with School Time Photos/Photo's by Mark for the upcoming year. Packages are now on sale for purchase and they offer a discounted price between now and picture day (sale prices expire just a few days after picture day which is the 7th of August at Back to School Night). Please visit www.schooltimephotos.com, click on the "Order Now" button, type in MCSD for the school/organization, click on the Marion District link, which will eventually get you to a spot to enter your email address, add your child(ren), and order your packages. It is NOT a requirement to purchase a school photo package but we do ask that all enrolled students get their photos taken to update our databases/Infinite Campus. Thank you!
Happy 4th of July! We hope you have a phenominal weekend with friends and family celebrating the independence of our great country. With that said, here is a quick Marion (8) Minute...
One other thing that is not in the "Minute" is the announcement that we do have a current opening in our volleyball program. The junior high volleyball coaching position is open and if you're interested in applying, please contact our activities director, Mr. Derrick Lehr for more information (derrick.lehr@k12.sd.us).
Again, have a happy and safe 4th everyone! BEAR PRIDE!!!
