Like many of you, we are disappointed with the graduation coverage provided by WTVM today. Items they received, such as speeches, songs, and the notations of honor graduates were not included as we expected “in the interest of time.” They have agreed to make the requested changes for their web page. Mr. Medders will also air the official graduation video tomorrow.
Just a reminder that our 2020 graduates will be honored on WTVM today at 12:30. For details, visit the news section of the Marion home page! Watch on WTVM, online at www.wtvm.com/live, or on the WTVM Facebook page.
Buses lined up to deliver student belongings today at LK Moss. Thanks to all of our teachers, bus drivers, paraprofessionals, and transportation department for all of their help in getting these things back to our students.
Parents, if you have not gotten back your child’s school materials, we will hold them for you. These things may be picked up from the school once it is opened back up to the public.
