NATIONAL CUSTODIAL WORKER’S RECOGNITION DAY
Marion High School is blessed to have such a special group to take care of us all and our campus. October 2nd, National Custodial Worker’s Recognition Day encourages appreciation to the employees who keep our schools and workplaces across the nation running smoothly.
Custodial workers operate behind the scenes. They are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day, too. These are the personnel keeping schools, hospitals, office buildings, museums, churches, and other buildings clean and well maintained.
While delivering outstanding services and running a well-maintained building, they contribute to critical first impressions and the success of any business. They’re the people we call on to give our brick and mortar businesses a polished look. The bank, schools, and office buildings look organized and presentable because custodial workers efficiently keep everything in top condition.
Good Morning to all.
We anticipate having a limited number of tickets for tonight's football game available for purchase this afternoon. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at the Central Office.
School ID's will not be accepted this season due to COVID 19 restrictions.

Athletic Director

Banned Books Week (September 27 - October 3, 2020) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
The books featured during Banned Books Week have all been targeted for removal or restriction in libraries and schools. By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship.
Students took a well-deserved break from traditional classroom work today & enjoyed the great weather outside. Mrs. Rebick’s AP Psychology students drew and labeled neurons and that explained neural transmission, or the neural communication process.
