ALL BULLDOG
Nov 28 - Dec 3, 2022 Marysville Jr/Sr High School
Principal's Note
I want everyone to take a deep breath...think of that turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie, or whatever you cherished these last few days...and relax. Now that you are relaxed, get ready for a busy three and a half weeks! Come in with a renewed sense of purpose to finish this semester strong. Prepare to take in the plethora of activities that are set to happen, show that school spirit, and be the best Bulldog you can be! Make sure to communicate with your teachers if you need help and lean on the many people in our building who are there to help you be successful. I want to finish with one more thank you...Shelly Crome helps me get this newsletter out each week and I appreciate her help. Have a great week!
Tim Woodcock, Principal
The Jones Project is Coming to Marysville High School Thursday!
Championship wrestling coach Damon Parker knows what it's like to win on the mat, but he now knows winning isn't everything. He's spent the last 18 months fighting his own well-documented battles with mental health so he can help local students with theirs. He is helping students through the newly formed charitable nonprofit, The Jones Project. The goal of The Jones Project is to change how we talk about, treat and ultimately triumph over mental health issues, with a focus on the teen mental health crisis. The organization's goal is to bring a message of hope, help and healing to Kansas middle and high schools, organizations, and associations through inspirational and entertaining presentations. Parker serves as the organization's Executive Director. "Our country is in the midst of a mental health crisis, the likes of which we have never seen before," said Parker. "The mission of The Jones Project is to accelerate the destigmatization of mental health illnesses, with a primary focus on Kansas secondary students. It is the goal of The Jones Project to be the antidote." Beyond inspiration and understanding, The Jones Project aims to give students actionable steps on mental health and emotional regulation that helps people manage their mental health before it reaches "crisis mode." Through the organization’s fundraising efforts, The Jones Project is able to provide all programming to Kansas school districts and their students at no cost. “It was important to us to remove every barrier possible for schools, and for a lot of school districts, pricing is a big hurdle. So we’ve taken that one out of the way.”
It is Parker’s goal to speak to every secondary student in the state of Kansas in the next three years. “The kids in our smaller communities and in western Kansas both need and deserve this programming every bit as much as their counterparts in the larger 6A high schools,” Parker said. “Large schools, small schools, western, central, and eastern Kansas, it doesn’t matter. On a Monday we may end up talking to 21 awesome students at Hamilton High School, and the next day 2,100 of them in Derby. We are going to be road warriors, and we’re going to spread this message to everyone who needs it, regardless of the size or location of their school.”

Teacher of the Week: Mr. David Heyd
Bulldogs of the Week in High School: Brenner Pilsl & Izzabella Antoine
Both Brenner & Izzabella were nominated by teachers for their kindness as they each invited a student they really didn't know that well to sit with them. Their kind gestures made someone feel less less anxious and welcome to be a part of their group. Both showed what a true role model looks like in the Bulldog family. Nice job!
Bulldog of the Week in Junior High: Vanessa Roesch
