Valentine's Day is almost here! The Marion County School System would like to make sure you are able to send gifts to students should you choose to do so. We will observe Valentine's Day for the school system on Friday, February 14th (as long as schools remain open at that time). We ask that all items be delivered to the Media Center at L.K. Moss and to the gym at MCMHS between the hours of 8 AM and 12 Noon on Friday, February 14, 2025. Please be sure to label the item with the student's name and the teacher's name (PreK--8th grade: homeroom teacher / Grades 9-12: 4th block teacher). As usual, if your child or teen is a bus rider, balloons must be the small kind with a "stick". No large balloons or stuffed animals will be permitted on buses.
Also, please keep in mind that Valentine’s Day is on a Friday and school is also out for President’s Day the following Monday. If you send something to a student who is absent on Friday, it may be Tuesday before they receive it. The school is not responsible for the condition of the items over that 3-day weekend.
