ALL BULLDOG

Attendance. It makes all the difference. Missing just two days a month, whether excused or unexcused, over the course of a student's school career can actually set him or her back a full year educationally. Hopefully, this is not something you are willing to have happen for yourself (students) or your child (parents/guardians). Attendance also makes a difference when looking at our finals schedule coming December 19-20. In addition to having A's, students must have 0 Unexcused Absences, 6 or less Excused Absences, less than 5 total tardies, and no suspensions to be exempt from taking finals. Remember that all excused absences over 6 count as unexcused and will affect your finals as well. Make the right choice and get to school every day you can. We love to see your smiling faces and want you to make the most of your time at Marysville Jr/Sr High. Here's hoping we see you all tomorrow!

The marching band participated along with 10 other bands in the Holton Marching Festival this past week. They received a ‘Superior’ rating, also known as a 1, for their performance of their halftime show. A Superior rating is the highest rating you can receive in music. Way to go band! Click on the picture of Andrew Duever, Rose Latta, and Grace Turner if you'd like to watch their top performance!

Leah and are quite the pair. They work well together in art, complete amazing projects, take pride in their work, and still have time for fun.

Dylan does a nice job being a good friend and at lunch time does a nice job making sure his table is always left better than he found it. Nice job!
