Greetings, Marmaton Valley Families:
As we prepare for the upcoming Christmas Break, we continue to think about and reflect on the many successes and achievements of our students, staff, and school community during this school year. Our students make us so proud, and we truly appreciate your continued support and partnership in everything we do.
We also wanted to provide you with a few reminders about some important dates:
• Our office will be closed from Wednesday, December 21 through Tuesday, January 3.
• Students will return for their first day of school after the break on Wednesday, January 4.
We hope that you and your family have a safe, fun, and restful Christmas Break.
Happy Holidays to you and your family,
Kim Ensminger

Wonderful night spent listening to the Marmaton Valley Elementary students singing at their Christmas concert. Thank you Mrs Allee and all others involved for all you do for the students.



On December 7th we had the privilege to bring one of our own back in to talk to our students 6-12. Kurt Jackson did an excellent job talking with all of the students about mental weight and dealing with all of the pressures that come with being a teenager. The students loved him and I would definitely recommend bringing him in to talk to any group of kids that you have. Thank you Kurt for all that you do for.



Huge Congratulations to senior Zach Allee who played at the Bicknell Center in Pittsburg this past Saturday. He was awarded 2nd chair in the Southeast Kansas Music Educators Association District Band.
