Fredonia Grange presents dictionaries to Mar Lee students

Every student in teacher Tina Rocco's 3rd grade classroom at  Mar Lee School received a gift of a personalized dictionary from the Fredonia Grange.  The generous donation is part of a project to deliver 570 dictionaries to 3rd grade students throughout Calhoun County. " The students and staff of Mar Lee School are greatly appreciative of the efforts of these fine folks," said Chad Holt, school Principal. The Grange raised the money through donations and an auction.

Mar Lee middle school students planning their annual 7th grade trip to Washington D.C. can look back with pride on their fundraising effort this summer at the Calhoun County Fair.  With help from parents, Mar Lee faculty and staff, the Mar Lee Pancake Tent grossed over $11,000, the largest amount yet. Mar Lee teacher Chris Henke notes that several local sponsors helped out as well. For example, Crystal Flash donated propane for the entire week.

The next fundraiser for the trip is a carwash at Autozone Marshall on Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
