CONGRATULATIONS to Marlborough High School senior Parker Rogers for being named “Outstanding Male Athlete” at a recent track meet. Parker set a new meet record in the discus, showcasing his incredible talent and hard work. Parker is to attend the University of South Carolina.
JAWOREK SCHOOL recently hosted a heartfelt outdoor ceremony in honor of Memorial Day, attended by family, friends, and veterans. Under the direction of music teacher Meg Defazio, the entire student body performed to pay tribute to our veterans. This year’s event was particularly special as it marked Ms. Defazio’s final program before her retirement at the end of this school year. Former colleagues also joined to participate and wish her well.
