ALL BULLDOG

Greetings Marysville Family,

This week it's teacher appreciation week. We will be honoring all our teachers all week for all they do throughout the year. It's also the start of nurse appreciation week. Thanks to all the nurses for all they do. Students, tell your teachers "thanks" and if you happen to see Nurse Kathy, tell her the same. We appreciate you all!

Tim Woodcock, Principal

Addy Rockwell wrapped up an incredible trip to JAG Nationals in Indianapolis where she competed against students from 39 different states in career preparation. She had the opportunity to network and build relationships with students and adults from all over the country. Rockwell is grateful for this unforgettable experience and the help Ms. Gartner gave her over the course of the last year.

Grace Turner, senior, was awarded the John Phillips Sousa Award last Wednesday at the band's final concert of the year. The sixth grade, junior high, and high school bands all put on a wonderful concert in front of a nice crowd in the auditorium. The last band performance comes on May 18th at graduation which begins at 2:30 PM.

FBLA is excited to announce that Grant Haefele and Kate Frese have earned their FBLA National Business Achievement Contributor Award!

It was an extensive process, and we are proud of them!

Junior High student Rylan Johnson gives sixth grade students the "lowdown" of what it's really like in Mrs. Johnson's classroom. Junior High Ambassadors gave sixth graders tours last week so they could be ready to "hit the ground running" when the next school year starts.

Mr. Friedrichs accompanied the Highland Western Center students to Baileyville last week to capture some of the activities. In addition to the construction, welding, and precision ag you see above, we also have students working in diesel mechanics. Tjaden, Johnson, and Lucas Jones all graduate from HWC this Friday. Good Luck!

The relay team in the picture above set a new eighth grade 4x200 record last week. Pictured from left to right: Caleb Nolte, Layden Woodyard, Wyatt Miller, and David Erickson. Nice job, gentlemen!
