Schools of North Texas (CISNT). This program was established in 2004 for the

benefit of Lewisville ISD students needing basic clothing items to ensure students

arrive at school Dressed to Learn! Any child in LISD who is determined to need

a helping hand may benefit from this program.

the students in need within LISD.

At the end of every marking period the Marcus HS PTSA sponsors the Magnificent Marauder

Program. This allows each teacher at Marcus to select one student per class period that has

shown exceptional performance academically, has great enthusiasm, or has demonstrated

perseverance and/or improvements. Each teacher has submitted their nomination along

with a brief statement which will be included on the back on their certificate as to why the

student was chosen for this award.

One of your student’s teachers has selected them as a Magnificent Marauder!

There will be a ceremony followed by a small reception to honor these students on May 21,

2013 at 6:30pm in the Marcus HS cafeteria. Dress is casual and this ceremony lasts

approximately 45 minutes depending on the number of attendees. We ask each student to

arrive no later than 6:15pm in order to check in.

Congratulations and we hope to see you at the ceremony!

And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve

that goal, or any goal.
