YOU'RE INVITED: Seasonal Stargazing at the MHS Planetarium

Posted: Nov 28, 2016 by Patricia Gibson, Communications Director

This holiday season, as carols tell of a special star that shone long ago, Marion High School’s state-of-the-art planetarium will put on a special show that explores the wonders of the night sky.

The public is invited to MHS for “Seasonal Stargazing: Winter and Season of Lights”. Showings will be as follows:

2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3
1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4

Admission is free, but seating is limited and on a first-come, first-seated basis on the day of the show. Doors will open about 30 minutes before each showing. Enter MHS through Door 22 at the front of the building. The show lasts about an hour.

Several of these shows precede or follow the Marion Community School of the Arts’ holiday ballet, The Nutcracker, which starts at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 and 2 p.m. Dec. 4 in the Walton Performing Arts Center at MHS. (Click here for Nutcracker ticket info.) This is a great opportunity for two special experiences with the family, right here in Marion!

The planetarium at MHS was renovated in fall 2012. It boasts state-of-the-art LED cove lighting; 5.1 surround sound system with JBL cinema series speakers that push 2400 watts of power; a Digitarium Kappa projector that broadcasts full dome shows; and seating for 58.

Marion Community Schools is pleased to be able to present this special show to the public and share our exceptional facilities with the community in this way.

Harlem Ambassadors will visit Justice on 11/30

Posted: Nov 11, 2016 by Patricia Gibson, Communications Director

The Harlem Ambassadors basketball team will be bringing their entertaining, engaging show to Bill Green Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 30, to face off against a team of local “all-stars”. But earlier in the day, this talented group of athletes will bring a special assembly to Justice Intermediate School, encouraging students to focus on their education, set goals, be good listeners, avoid negative influences and peer pressure, and not be a bully.

This team is known for high-flying dunks, dazzling ball-handling tricks, and hilarious comedy routines. But the Ambassadors are also great role models with a positive message for young people.

More information about the game in the evening of Nov. 30 at MHS's Bill Green Arena, including where to get your tickets, is available at MarionGiantsSports.com.
