Marion High School Drama is bringing the modern classic Once Upon a Mattress to the main stage at the Walton Performing Arts Center this spring.

Marion Community Schools invites families of children who will be starting kindergarten next school year to attend our Kindergarten Roundup, 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 13. Please bring your kindergartner-to-be with you!

Families can begin their application for Little Giants Preschool for the 2023-24 school now.

Little Giants Preschool encompasses Marion Community Schools' Head Start, Title 1, On My Way Pre-K, and Special Services-funded programs. There are several factors considered when determining which program a student will be enrolled in, but there will be a common start to the application process for all applicants for the 2023-24 school year. Students must be 3 years old by Aug. 1, 2023, and must live in Grant County. 

This weekend, hundreds of students from our region will gather here in Marion as part of the Indiana Music Education Association’s 34th annual Circle the State with Song festival.

Nearly 250 talented young singers from elementaries, middle schools, and junior high schools in Adams, Grant, Huntington, Kosciusko, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties will spend the day working with guest clinicians — a chance to build their skill as singers — and then will put on a special performance together.
