After a series of summer fun runs, this year's cross country season officially started with his year's Varsity Cross Country Camp. This included a few days of local runs around town, some conditioning exercises that brought back fond memories, and lots of team building activities. The camp concluded with the team's annual camping trip to Sleep Bear Dunes where we really pushed our endurance as we ran the two miles from our campground, across the dunes, all the way to Lake Michigan...and then the two miles back! In addition, the team participated in a cultural restoration service project aimed at preserving some of the over 200 antique varieties of apples once grown on the farms on the National Lakeshore. We can't wait to see what else this year's cross country season has to offer. If any other middle or high school student is interested in joining the team this year, stop by Mr. Mayer's room!
A HUGE thank you to Timber Rose for their generous donation to Marion Elementary. We sure do appreciate the support!
Ms. Russell’s class got to experience first hand the transformation of a monarch caterpillar into a chrysalis. This transformation is less than 5 minutes from start to finish. Thankfully with the help of a watchful Blake Lee, whom caught the caterpillar first turning bright green, the rest of the class was able to enjoy the experience. Needless to say, Ms. Russell’s life cycle science unit is off to a great start!
