Hello! Well, I don't know about you but I did make the mistake of going to Wal-Mart on Wednesday night and got swept up in the panic. I bought so many scented candles that my house would have smelled like a fruit basket if we had lost power. Thankfully, we only lost our internet service for several hours. I hope all of you have your power and you're able to stay warm and safe! I'm sure we'll be watching the weather carefully the next few days as well.
Oh - and Happy Valentine's Day!! Sending love your way!
Announcements from the Office
There is no school on Monday, February 15th.
February 16th is "Show Some Love for Your House/School" Day for Group A students. Wear your house colors or school spirit gear.
School pictures for Group A and virtual learners will be February 22nd. Our virtual students can come in from 1:00-2:00 pm to get their pictures taken. If you are not comfortable with your child coming to the building, you may submit a professional looking photo for us to put in the yearbook. You can bring it to school or email it to elyssa.holt@marion.kyschools.us.
A few reminders - When students are at home, they need to join Google Meets each period. When they are in person, they need to bring a water bottle and a Chromebook and charger.
