We made it! Today is the very last day of the 2023/24 school year. From Kinder to Fifth we all worked hard, laughed, played, cried, met new friends and learned lessons. Don’t forget to take a moment to acknowledge that this another milestone for your family.

Fifth graders, we wish you well on the next steps of your educational journey. We are so thankful for all you contributed to the school and each other. You worked hard and we hope you enjoy Summer before you start your next adventure as Sixth graders in a new school. We are proud of you and will miss your smiling faces.

For everyone else, we look forward to seeing you refreshed, a little bit taller, and excited to take on a new school year in the Fall. We also cannot wait to meet the Kinders who will join us as brand new Mustangs.

Teachers and Staff, thank you for your endless contributions to making our students have an unforgettable school year.

Enjoy your summer Mariemont families! You earned it!

Today! Celebrate the last full day with some delicious dinner and a sweet treat!
