Marion Chamber of Commerce’s Monster Mash 2026 is as a success! Mama's Sanctuary by Sweet Sofia teamed up with our friends at Atlas Learning Collective to hand out over 1000 stickers & 800 bananas. Balancing life/work/parenthood/etc can sometimes leave you feeling like you are navigating through a jungle!

You don’t have to navigate the jungle of life alone! Atlas Learning Collective offers early childhood educational support as well as fun enrichment classes & Mama’s Sanctuary offers community engagement activities designed to help you recharge & leave feeling restored. Check out Atlas & try them out for a free week & join Mama’s Sanctuary for their next free community book club November 6th at 3pm at the Marion Public Library (2nd floor board room).
