Highschool Library Update

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 14:21:00 GMT

Huge shoutout and congratulations to Mrs. Schneider and the current senior class! Last year, the juniors decided it was time to update the high school library with some new and engaging reading material; with Mrs. Schneider's guidance, they researched grant writing, prepared very professional, persuasive presentations and applied for some grants (in Michigan as well as nationally). I am beyond excited to share the news that they were awarded $4,000 from the dollar general literacy grant to purchase new books for the high school library! To say i am proud of them is an understatement...who has the best, most dedicated students? We do! Marcellus high school seniors....thank you for giving back to your community! It's great to be a wildcat!
