Junior Varsity Boys Basketball Coach Opportunity

Good evening,

Marion Cross Country had a busy last week! Wednesday they traveled to WMD Jamboree #1 @ Crossroads Charter Academy in Big Rapids. Varsity runners Bella, Jaden, Mason, and Isiah all ran a season record! This was also the Middle School's first race of the season. Every runner; Paige, Bella, Bridgett, Ariella, Cassie, Lucas, Brenden, and Preston either set season or personal records!

Country those MS Ladies names...5, A FULL TEAM!! They placed 2nd behind Pentwater by 15 points.

Friday, we held our annual joint practice with Lansing Waverly. Runners enjoyed some comradery running a portion of our course and adding the obstacles for Marion's Steeplechase Invitational...

...which took place Saturday. Mason, Isiah, Jaden, Brenden, and Preston all set season records and Bridgett, Cassandra, Isabella, Ariella, Paige, and Lucas all set personal records! A BIG Congratulations to Ariella who dropped over 4.5 minutes from her first to second Middle School Race!!

The 7th grade Ancient History class has been studying prehistory during the first few weeks of school. What's one way archeologists know about what was important to these early groups? Due to a lack of written record, we must rely on things like cave art! What's one way we know what is important to modern middle schoolers? Due to Mayer's inability to keep up with the constantly evolving slang, he must rely on things like...Cave Art!

The 7th graders were tasked with painting the most important aspects of their lives.
