Litchville-Marion School District

It's Pajama/Hat Day tomorrow!!

The 6th graders attended Eco Ed (Ecology Education) Camp on Wednesday at the LaMoure County Memorial Park with other 6th graders from area schools. The event is sponsored each year by the LaMoure County Soil Conservation. The students learned how everyday actions affect the environment and the importance of taking care of the land and its resources.
