Happenings Congratulations to the 2004 Prom Court: Dannis Matteson, Pete Goodridge, Hayley Starks, Ricky Dean and our King and Queen - Ryan Weser and Chrissy DeFisher. Marion students acknowledge World AIDS Day: 'Pay for Your Tray - It Will Make Their Day.' It wasn't the average day in the high school cafeteria on April 8 as students and staff picked up lunch trays for other students who were finished eating. It was all for a good cause as students paid to have their lunch tray or lunch bag be taken away by one of a slew of student/volunteers. Better yet, students paid up to $1.00 to have a teacher/staff member remove their tray. A total of $243 was raised to help in the AIDS crisis in Africa. The money will be sent to Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network to be forwarded to South Africa for food, health care, and educational supplies. Thank you to all who took part in this worthwhile endeavor and special thanks to Ms. Costello who organized this event. Stop by and see what's new at the Open House on May 15 and 16 at Hunneybear's Market & Garden Center, 4088 Park Dr., Marion. 926.1115. The Sons of the American Legion will meet May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Legion Hall. 'Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.' Dan Freeman is recuperating following surgery at the Strong Memorial Hospital. We had another set of a washer and dryer delivered last week. We'll see how long these last. Barb Chilson has fallen and broken her arm. Mother's Day Testimonies at the Second Reformed Church were given by Conrad Richards and David Mackey. Congratulations to Matthew and Erica VanCamp on the arrival of Adrianna at the Rochester General Hospital on May 5. She weighed 9 lbs. and 1 oz. and was 22 inches long. She was welcomed home by her big sisters, Brianna and Natalie. Proud grandparents are Carl and Elaine VanCamp. Pearl Ververs says she and Hank had lots of company over Mother's Day weekend. Some came on Saturday to spend some time and others arrived on Sunday to join in the celebration of this special day. John and Jane Ballesty and boys Aidan and Brian spent five days in Florida at Disney's Pop Century Resort. They visited MGM, EPCOT, the Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom and the Typhoon Lagoon, having lots of fun and arriving home tired from their travels. The National Honor Society received a letter from the Marion Food Pantry acknowledging the success of this year's penny drive. Patricia Trout informed Mr. Quill and Mrs. Reinhardt, Honor Society advisors that this year's donation of $3100 was the largest ever given by the district. The drive culminated by a satirical rendition of 'The Price is Right' that entertained students and staff. Congratulations to all that participated.
