MARCUS BOWLING ROLLING IN THE POINTS

Both the girls and boys Marcus Bowling teams have been rolling strike after strike this past season. During COVID-19 each team was reduced to 5 members and both teams still qualified for the regional tournament. During the tournament, each of the 5 girls bowled well above their averages and ended up finishing 13th overall in the state! photo courtesy of Marcus High School Bowling Facebook page

VIRTUAL ART SHOW

Traditionally, Lewisville ISD’s district-wide art shows are held at Medical City Lewisville Grand Theater where students, families, and friends gather to admire students’ artwork, but this year the galleries were closed. Thanks to the Visual Arts Leadership team, LISD was able to showcase the students’ art virtually and families could view the gallery just by clicking a link. Upon entering audiences were transported to the gallery shows they know and love! photo courtesy of Lewisville ISD
