The annual Poetry Out Loud contest went online and was a voluntary extracurricular instead of a classroom activity for the 2020-2021 school year, but that didn’t stop seniors Ella Grim and Matthew Scribner from earning a spot at the state competition as well as the first Topper Tunnel of 2021!

 

 

 

Nordic skiers and team captains Lucy Campbell ’21 and Declan Hutchinson ’21 represented Marshall at the state races in March for the second year running.

 

 

Grandparents’ and Grandfriends’ Day was a multimedia virtual experience this year instead of an in-person event. We missed having some of our favorite guests on campus the morning before Thanksgiving break, but we are thankful we had the opportunity to share what a typical day in this atypical year looked like!

 

 

 

In a non-pandemic year, seventh-graders spend several educational and fun (and usually snowy!) days at Camp Widjiwagen in February. To make sure this class was still able to enjoy the outdoor fun and team-building activities, faculty hosted “Widji Days” complete with events including but not limited to: orienteering, outdoor survival skills, poetry and art, and an eco hike on the Superior Hiking Trail.

 

Speaking of the pandemic, this year has included many events-gone virtual like Convocations, weekly assemblies, the middle school Clue game, and Topper Tunnels. Thanks to the creativity of Marshall’s faculty and students, there have been ways to continue safely celebrating Hilltopper achievements and activities!
