Congratulations to the 8 dance team members, juniors-Harlie Hemphill, Isobel Peterson, & Sarah Schuttloffel, sophomores-Liliana Long, Adalai Weems & Genevieve Wilkin and freshman-Katelyn Meier & Kira Siemering, who competed their solo routines at the State Qualifying Competition in Pella last Thursday. All of the soloists received Division 1 ratings which is a huge accomplishment. Only 1 other school in the Division had 100% of their soloists earn D1.
For the first time in Marion history, a dancer qualified for state! Genevieve Wilkin placed in the Top 10 in the division (out of 70+ dancers) and qualified to move on to the state-level competition in Des Moines in December!
The entire Comp team was on hand to receive the ISDTA Outstanding Academic Achievement Award for having one of the top GPAs in the state! Of the 252 teams that compete at the State competition, Marion placed in the top 11 in the state that had over a 3.9 combined GPA.

MHS Band Director Mr. Vander Wiel stopped by our Drawing/Painting class to share his portfolio of paintings and drawings with students! His presentation was a big hit! We enjoyed learning about his artistic journey.
The K-12 Art PLC team enjoyed Mr.Vaughan's mini-lesson this week. He shared his UDL Art Framework Lesson Plan and demonstrated an upcoming wire and loop-forming unit for Jewelry 1 students.
All week, students have been presenting their projects in Mr. Blech's American History I class. Some examples of outstanding work by our students include WWI trench warfare, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Okinawa, and the Dust Bowl.
VMS Teen Living students have been hard at work with first quarter activities that include sewing and cooking projects, as well as creating research posters about making healthy choices. The final projects look great!
MHS students are preparing for their All-State auditions happening this weekend! We're proud of their hard work and dedication and wish everyone the best of luck.
Vernon artists have been hard at work creating and showcasing creative designs in Mrs. Hale's seventh and eighth grade art classes. Seventh grade art students designed a functioning whistle built from a basic form. That basic form needed to be concealed in the final product. Discussion and strategy of design determined the success of the whistle. Eighth graders designed a functioning Tic Tac Toe board with a clear theme that coordinated with original X and O pieces. The design and shape of the board needed to work well with the pieces, allowing them to fit well. The design process often needed revision or reworking to make this happen. Students reviewed each other's design to give valuable feedback. Great work, Vernon artists!
It's National School Bus Safety Week. Thank you for making the stop that matters!
VMS students in Ms. Ehrle's Literacy class recently participated in a "group sort" activity with a plot diagram to analyze and place which pieces/events from the text were the exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution (and protagonist/antagonist). Great work, literacy students!
