MHS Marauder Community Newsletter
October 21st, 2022
As a part of this year's One LISD theme, our district is more committed than ever to bringing our communities closer together. One way we plan to do so is by sending newsletters to each feeder pattern throughout the 2022-23 school year. Our hope is that these newsletters give you a glimpse into the great things happening at LISD schools and inform you of any upcoming community opportunities.
Happy Homecoming!
We had a blast celebrating Homecoming with the Marcus community. This year's theme was "Road Trip to HoCo," and staff and students dressed up accordingly. The MHS feeder pattern participated in various events throughout the week including a community carnival, pep rallies and of course Friday's Homecoming game.
