Marion Public School

Thank you does not seem to be enough to say to show the gratitude that the students and I have for the great turnout and attendance at our book fair. Because of the wonderful donations from our caring community and the profit from our sales at the book fair, we are able to buy over $4,000 worth of books from Scholastic. Again, I want to thank the 25 businesses who donated money and the parents that attended and some who left a donation with us at the book fair. -Linda Luke
