MPS Board Member Jack Lenz was recently recognized at the December School Board Meeting by the Missouri School Boards Association and the Missouri Association of Rural Education. Mr. Lenz, 90, is believed to be the oldest active serving Board member in the state of Missouri.

MSBA Senior Director Linda Quinley, MPS Superintendent Caleb Petet, MPS School Board President Bryon Jacques, and members of his family helped present this honor to him.

We are proud to have Jack Lenz as one of our elected members of the Marshall Public Schools organization, and we congratulate him for this honor. He is an inspiration to so many Owls and a great representative of the Marshall community!

4th grade students at Benton, did a research project on "Holidays Around The World". Some students dressed like the country of their choosing and some even brought snacks/drinks from their country. The students did an amazing job with their presentation boards, and the 3rd graders loved walking through and looking at the presentations as well.
