🎄✨ Mark Bills is bursting with holiday spirit! Students and staff are rocking red & green from head to toe today. ❤️💚 Check out our festive crew spreading cheer around school!
#MarkBillsPride #FestiveFun

We will continue with our normal schedule next week, and I will work on rescheduling the postponed games. These games will likely be made up on Fridays throughout the remainder of the season due to limited access to officials.
I will begin working on the updated schedule next week.

Our Mark Bills Pantry is full.....so please let a staff member know if you would like items sent home with your child next week. We can pack up a bag and send it home discretely with your student.

Check out all of the details about next week's theme days and TONIGHT'S Fine Arts Festival
