Marquand-Zion R-VI School District

The Marquand-Zion Cross Country boys had their first meet this past Saturday, September 13 at Arcadia Valley. Our runners for this season are: Eli Reimler Starkey and Blake Stephens. Eli is in 11th grade, and Blake is in 10th grade. Both boys have participated in cross country at MZ since their 6th grade years. With temperatures in the 90's and schools from all over, this was definitely a tougher race! The boys competed in the JV race, and Eli was able to bring home a 14th place medal. Blake had been battling some respiratory problems the whole week. He really didn't even feel like running, but he pushed through and finished with a decent time. The boys will travel to Mineral Area College this Saturday where Bismarck HS will be hosting their meet. We look forward to seeing what these two boys are able to accomplish this season! Thank you to everyone who has a part in helping these boys meet their goals! We want to say a special "thank you" to M&P Daycare for their monetary donation that was used to help purchase some work-out equipment for school.

Elementary is raffling this toolbox, along with our baskets. we will draw for it after Pioneer Days.

The 2025 Track and Field season has been over for some time now, but this young man has received two awards for which we feel he needs to be recognized. Kolby Stafford, who is currently in 10th grade, was able to stand on top of the podium at the Class 1 Championship for discus in May. Because of that, he has earned M.T.C.C.C.A. All-State Honors. In addition to that, because he had a GPA higher than 3.6 for last year's second semester, he was also awarded M.T.C.C.C.A. Academic All-State honors. We are so proud of you, Kolby, and can't wait to see what the 2026 season brings!

UPDATE! New Friday FYI for the week of Sept 8-12

What a great day it is to be a Tiger! 🐅 We're overjoyed to share that our sweet 1st grade student, Whitley, got to come home after a long hospital stay following a bad car accident. The whole school came together to welcome her home with open arms! Whitley was greeted by friends, classmates, teachers, and lots of love, with posters and signs everywhere showing how much she's cared for. And the best part? She even got to stay and visit with her classmates, making memories that will last a lifetime! We're thrilled to have her back home and can't wait to have her back at school, hopefully next week! ❤️ Sending all our love, positive vibes, and prayers to Whitley and her family. 🌈🦋
