Do you like Marietta? I do. I love it here. I like the small town feel. Everyone is friendly. There we go, that is our teacher spotlight. I hope that everyone likes her, I definitely do. She is an interesting teacher. I don t have her, but I love her. Article by Mackenzie Graham See you at the pole Photo submitted by C. O Connor Words to live by... Learning is not a spectator sport.

Then there was Saw You At The Pole where all surrounding schools get together at the Methodist Church in Ardmore, Ok. It was a Wednesday night so we had church service like we usually would. I was so happy to see so many Marietta people go! If you didn't go, I highly recommend you going next year. It s amazing! Article by Shannyn Wofford
