Principal’s Notes

April 2010
Spring
has definitely sprung!! Life at MHS
is in that final fast and furious quarter!
We are
very proud of the Lady Warrior basketball team who placed 2nd at
the state tournament March 11-13. An
additional honor was that Marion High School, including its cheerleaders,
student section, pep band, and adult fan section, received a KSHSAA Sportsmanship
Plaque. As soon as it arrives, we
will have an assembly to recognize what a good job our cheerleaders/students/fans
did at the tournament.
Because
this quarter is long and due to all of the hoopla, we will run our first
eligibility list on Monday, April 12, and MHS will not send out progress
reports until April 23.
Prom
is this weekend. The promenade
begins at 6:30, followed by the banquet at 7:00. The dance is in the middle school gym
from 9:00-12:00. After-prom is at
the Sports and Aquatic Center.
Also
this week, on May 7, any student who is taking the ACT and would like a
quick review may sign up in the office.
Mr. Stuchlik, Mr. Rhodes, Mrs. Johnson,
and Mrs. Killough will rotate students through
going over practice questions and sharing test taking strategies.
On Thursday,
May 8, many of the Marion County law enforcement professionals (Police
Chief Whitwell, County Attorney Robson, Sheriff
Craft) will meet with students and discuss the laws which pertain to them.
We are
going to do the senior academic awards a little differently. Instead of having that assembly during
the day, we will recognize seniors at 7:00 on May 13. We hope that having it in the evening
will allow more parents to attend and make the honors they receive a bit
more special.
As
always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns either by
phone or by e-mail: odgerbre@usd408.com.
