School Background
Marion Elementary School is located in the heart of Marion, Arkansas. The original school plant (building 15), built in 1912, consisted of six classrooms. This now houses the Special Education and Federal Programs offices. In 1952 an addition (building 16) consisting of four classrooms, a library, and two restrooms was added.
Building 17 was built in 1965 and consists of seven classrooms and two restrooms. A new-six classroom addition connecting both buildings and an elevator addition is underway and will be completed in the fall of 1999. This addition will provide room for a Discovery Room for hands-on science activities. A grant written by the third-grade teachers provided funds for the Discovery Room.
Building 21 was constructed in 1949 and contains five classrooms and two restrooms. An addition to this building was built in 1958 (building 20). It has eight classrooms and two restrooms. The office space was remodeled in 1997 and comprises two offices with a reception area. Adjacent to building 20 is the cafeteria (building 19). The cafeteria was constructed in 1937. A cafetorium was constructed on the campus and was ready use in the fall of 2000.
Across Military Road from building 15 is the gymnasium that was built in 1939. The walls, ceiling, roof, floor and lighting were repaired in 1997. Fenced playground facilities are located behind buildings 20 and 21. A portable building, housing a computer lab, is located west of building 21.
In 2004, construction began on the newest addition to the MES campus. The second grade building (buildings 20 and 21) got a new wing. The new wing (building 22) houses 3 new second grade classrooms, the computer lab, the art gallery, two smaller classrooms for resource and Title I, and a new girls restroom. The boys restroom in building 21 was also remodeled during the construction of the new wing.
Marion Elementary serves 545 students with a faculty of 40 full-time certified personnel, four part-time certified personnel, and 13 non-certified staff. There are 13 sections of second grade and 12 sections of third grades with one self- contained special education class. In addition to the regular academic curriculum, the school services include gifted/talented, special education, speech, music, guidance counseling, Title I reading and math, physical education, art, computer lab, and library services.
