Marion is represented well at the Marion County Youth Entrpreneurship Challenge held at Tabor College this morning. Students will present their business ideas to judges between 9 and 11 this morning.
What a great day celebrating an incredible teacher!
Today, Ms. Shayla Rahe, our freshman and sophomore language arts teacher, was honored with the prestigious Horizon Award at a special luncheon hosted by the Kansas State Department of Education. This award recognizes outstanding first-year teachers — only four secondary teachers in our region are selected.
From inspiring thoughtful discussions to encouraging a genuine love of reading and writing, she has already made a lasting impact on her students in such a short time. Her passion, creativity, and dedication to her students truly set her apart.
We are so proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and can’t wait to see the many lives she will continue to shape in the years ahead. Congratulations on this incredible honor — our community is lucky to have you!
