Grant from International Paper
Marshall Elementary Library received a grant for $2,268.13 from International Paper Company.  The grant money has been used to purchase books in our library.  Come by and check out our new collection of books. 


Some of the books we purchased were Dan Gutman's books.  We can't ever keep these books in the library.  This assortment will definitely add to our collection.  Thank you, International Paper. We really appreciate this opportunity.
