In November 2021, Longfellow and Starry were awarded a grant from the Marion Foundation. This grant allows all students K-2 to receive free books. Students are able to pick out books of interest and keep to add to their home library. We are grateful for the Marion Foundation and and thank them for fostering a love and joy of of reading for all of our students!

Something new for Starry that started this week is another PBIS incentive.
It is called Student of the Week! Each week, each class will be assigned one of the Marion Way expectations of Respect, Responsibility, Safety, or Integrity and their teachers will nominate one student who went above and beyond with that expectation. That student will be Student of the Week!
Student of the Week winners will receive a certificate, have their name read on the announcements, and will have their pictures posted on the front bulletin board for the following week! Stay tuned!

Kindergartners are learning about Motion in Science. Today Mrs. Young's class used different amounts of force to roll balls fast and slow and talked about the effect of gravity on objects.
