Summary - Board of Education Meeting
July 16, 2024 | Combined Work Session - Regular Monthly Meeting
Special Recognition
The Marietta City Schools Board of Education recognized Cobb Community Foundation.
Cobb Community Foundation (CCF) has been a longtime supporter and trusted partner of Marietta City Schools. The group was recognized last night for its generous donation that enabled MCS to provide transportation for students to participate in the Los Niños Primero program at the Emily Lembeck Early Learning Center. This summer bridge program aims to prepare Spanish-speaking students for pre-K and kindergarten. During Covid, their incredible support provided tutors, academic resources, and food assistance, including refrigerated trailers. CCF also offers numerous college scholarships for graduating seniors.
Thank you to Shari Martin and Mary Koronkowski for their outstanding support!
