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.
