Spring Sports Cancelled Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
After multiple conversations with the Arkansas Department of Health, the Governor’s Office, the Arkansas Department of Education and with the announcement of the closure of Arkansas schools through the end of the school year, all remaining AAA spring activities, state championships, AHSCA Coaches Clinic, and All-Star games have been cancelled.
“Today’s heart wrenching decision is difficult for all members of the AAA family,” said Lance Taylor, AAA Executive Director. “We sympathize with the students, coaches, parents, and school communities, and especially our graduating seniors, but we recognize that the cancellations will allow our collective focus to remain where it is needed at this time – on the health and safety of all Arkansans. We all must come together to stop the spread.”
The AAA will continue to receive guidance from the Arkansas Department of Health, the Governor’s Office, and the Arkansas Department of Education. The AAA wishes to thank them for their leadership during this COVID-19 pandemic.
MHS/MJHS Students and Parents please take a moment to participate and take the Perkins Survey. Marion School District has been working with other districts in our co-op area in efforts to create a survey to help us as we plan our Perkins activities going forward. Perkins federal funds help us maintain our career and technical classes that are offered at MHS and MJHS. Please take a minute to fill out the attached survey. Your input will help MSD create and focus our efforts towards offering desired classes to help our students as they enter college, technical education, the military and/or the workplace after graduation.

AAA Extends “Covid-19 Dead Period” For Schools
Due to the continued spreading of the COVID-19, and after the announcement of the closure of Arkansas schools through the end of the school year, the AAA will extend the “Covid-19 Dead Period” for all AAA member schools through May 30, 2020.
During this time, coaches shall be prohibited from engaging in any type of face to face contact whether it be practicing, training, weight lifting, tryouts, competition or travel. Further, school athletic facilities will be closed during this period. The AAA will work with the Department of Health, Department of Education, and the Governor's office later in May to announce plans following May 30.
We continue to encourage coaches to use technology to keep up with their students during this tough time.
Check out 7th Grade Assistant Principal Mr. Owen! He has been practicing piano and working on watercolors. He wishes everyone well and says to stay safe! #socialdistancing
