Fourth of July Parade & Teachers Oktoberfest Photos

It's been a while since we marched in the Kamm's Corners 4th of July parade, but the PHOTOS bring back the memories. This parade is certainly part of our Marshall/West Park heritage. It's a neighborhood parade and that makes it much different than a parade down Euclid Avenue. Marching in this parade is fun and it is our hope that many of you that live in the neighborhood will join us as participants rather than spectators. Look at the smiles in the pictures. Just show up with Marshall colors (check out our Marshall Gear in the E-STORE) and celebrate our Country's Independence!

Then check out the PICTURES from the Retired Teacher's Oktoberfest gathering. It will also bring back memories of your time at Marshall. These are the teachers that prepared us for the future, but they often get little credit for doing so. If you have a story about your favorite teacher, the MESSAGE BOARD might be a good place to share it with your fellow alumni!
