Survey Sneak Peaks



The cross country boys had 2 meets these past 2 weekends.
They traveled to Arcadia Valley on Saturday, September 14, and did well! They visited the MAC campus where Bismarck HS hosted the meet this past Saturday. Eli Reimler Starkey was able to bring home a 9th place medal (out of 52 boys) and Blake Stephens finished 33rd! Kolby and Carson pushed through the heat and turned in good times as well!
The boys will travel to Perryville for their next meet on Monday, September 30!
Good job, boys!





The staff and at Marquand Zion Schools would like to Thank you to Calvary Church in Fredericktown for the Iced Coffees and Lemonades this week. We appreciate your hospitality!


Good afternoon. I wanted to let everyone know that the students riding home on Heath Stephens bus will be later than normal. Due to transportation hurdles we have to double the route with kenny whiteners route.

The Lady Tigers picked up their first win of the season last night beating Grandview in 3 sets. 26-24, 25-13, and 29-27. Congratulations Lady Tigers! #WEAREFAMILY


Our hearts are heavy as we share our condolences with the Leopold School community on the loss of one of your young students. We can't imagine the pain and grief that you must be feeling, and we want you to know that we're thinking of you. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and teachers who loved and supported this precious life. May cherished memories bring comfort and strength during this difficult time.
With love and sympathy,
Marquand Zion School

A very special Thank you to Big Creek Baptist church for providing breakfast for Marquand Zion staff on our first full staff day back. As always, it was delicious!!

Ellie is pictured with her grandmother Diane Braswell ('76) and mother Leslie Stafford ('96), who are proud members of the Marquand-Zion community and have played a significant role in shaping the school's history. Joel is pictured with his grandfather Steve Dees ('64) and father Jason Dees ('94), who are equally proud of their family's association with the school and have contributed to its continued success.

Congratulations Braydan Homan and the rest of the Fredericktown Blackcats on your DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP! We are so proud of you!




Aurora Borealis makes an appearance in Southeast Missouri.
The first of six coronal mass ejections from the sun reached our planet this afternoon. This ignited a severe geomagnetic storm in our atmosphere. As a result the Aurora Borealis (or Northern lights) were visible across several states in the Midwest.
Some lights could be seen as late as Sunday.
