Hi my name is Marisa Bryan and I am excited to be your 3rd grade teacher this year! This is my 2nd year teaching and my 1st year at Marion. 

I graduated from the University of Missouri St. Louis in 2016 with my Bachelors in Elementary Education. I was lucky enough to do my first year of teaching in Lake Havasu, Arizona. I am grateful to be back in my home town teaching at Marion! I look forward to an amazing school year with you.

Hi! My name is Tori Palmer and I am the proud mother of a sophomore in college and an enthusiastic 3rd grade teacher at Marion Elementary. I have 19 years of teaching experience with this being my 5th year at Marion. I previously taught grades 1-5, and I was a reading specialist in another district. I love teaching third grade and I’m looking forward to all the learning, fun, and experiences we will have together. I can’t wait to spend the next year learning and growing with you!
