Marquand-Zion R-VI School District

Today is the last day for elementary tutoring. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather.

Congratulations Indie! She won the first treasure chest from Operation Book Blast. There is still time to register your children.

The 2026 Track and Field season is in full swing! Marquand-Zion has one athlete this season: 10th grader Kolby Stafford. Kolby is again throwing discus and shot put in pursuit of a second trip to the Class 1 State Championship in discus. He was able to attain a 6th-place medal at the State Championship last year. He was one of only 2 freshmen who made it to the State Championship level in boys discus for all classes (1-5) for the 2025 season!

Track and Field 2026 has started well for Kolby! Marquand-Zion traveled to Central HS in Park Hills, MO, for their opening meet of the season on Friday, March 20th. Kolby was able to bring home a 2nd place medal in discus (out of 24 total boys). He threw a new "Personal Best" with a distance of 42.76m.

Kolby then competed the next day at the Frozen Invitational at Notre Dame HS in Cape Girardeau, MO. This competition brought schools from as far as Kansas City, Illinois, and Kentucky. There were a total of 46 boys who competed in discus, and Kolby was able to finish in 6th place. He threw another "Personal Best" with a distance of 43.56 meters, and then bested it later in the competition with a throw of 43.57 meters.

Kolby will compete at the North County HS Invitational on Wednesday, March 25, and again at the Woodland HS Open on Thursday, March 26. We look forward to what the 2026 season has in store for him and are so proud to have him representing Marquand-Zion!

Dear families We're excited to partner with Books Are Fun and the Book Blast program to grow our students' home libraries and encourage more reading over screen time! We are asking for you to register your child. Details are on the Treasure Maps each student received today.

The Book Blast is back and we invite you to join in on the fun and earn your child some books to read this summer. The Book Blast mission will start next week. Follow the steps on the Treasure Map coming home next week.

The Marquand Zion Storm Shelter is OPEN now. If you need to shelter during any potential bad weather, the shelter is open now. Once again, the Storm Shelter is open at Marquand Zion High school. Stay safe, Tigers!
