Calendar Update: We welcome our students back on Monday, January 6, 2025 for a full day of instruction in Marion County Schools.

Turn It Up! as the Fairmont Senior High School English 12 students of Ms. Fisher, NBCT, take a pause partway through the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to choose a character and design a holiday sweater for that person. They had to use color theory to justify their choices and determine a symbol for that character. They had to explain their designs in paragraph form.











Fairview Middle School's 7th & 8th graders were Tuned In! to community. They spent some time over the past couple of weeks making cards and homemade ornaments for shut ins in the community as well as residents at a local assisted living facility. They had a hand at decorating sugar cookies too! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all from Fairview Middle! 🎄❤️🖤











Turn It Up! The North Marion High School Notables Sound Station will perform for the public on Saturday, December 21, 2024, 5 PM, at NMHS.



Tune In! to the STEAM Center today where students built a gingerbread house to withstand a simulated earthquake and hurricane, complete with a realty listing to sell the home. And lastly, they used electrical circuits to make a light up Christmas card because 'tis the season!






Calendar Reminder for Marion County Schools: Students will not report to schools on Monday, December 23, 2024. It is a professional learning day in the calendar so that staff may attend meetings and trainings.

Tune In! as our after school programming at East Park and Watson enjoyed celebrating with families at a movie night and making gingerbread houses at 21st CCLC Family Nights.





Tune In! for the blessings our Community in Schools coordinators provide. Through the Back Pack Grant, the Child Nutrition Department partnered with the Communities In School program to purchase and distribute 80 meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas to Marion County families. The meals included ham, potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, dinner rolls, and pumpkin pies, providing a heart and festive offering to our families.










Beautiful sounds and sights of the season as we Tune In! to Fairview Middle spreading cheer throughout the halls last evening with their band and choir concerts.



The gift of giving continues as the choirs of East Fairmont High School, under the direction of Michael Carpenter, and East Fairmont Middle School Turn It Up! for holiday cheer.
