Students at Marne Elementary experienced democracy in action on Tuesday, November 4 as they participated in an all-school presidential election. Mrs. Justema's 4th grade class, having just finished a unit on the principles of American Democracy, conducted the election complete with a voter registration table and "I Voted" stickers for students to wear after casting their ballot. It was an excellent learning experience for students at all grade levels!

Kenowa Hills Varsity Football Players Cody Schievink, Josh Stewart and Kurt VanEssen visited Marne Elementary during a lunchtime recess. Students were able to play catch with the guys. During lunch there was a drawing and three lucky students received Kenowa Hills Conference Champ t-shirts. Every student at Marne Elementary received a cool pencil from the Kenowa Hills Spirit Store. A big thank you to the football players and the spirit store. Previous Image 1/3 Next
