Congratulations to Ovid-Elsie High School’s Student of the Week, freshman Marlee!
English teacher Ms. Blank nominated Marlee because she’s a kind and helpful student that both her peers and teachers can count on. Marlee participated in the Student Council for all 3 years of middle school and is currently involved this year. She’s a member of the Volleyball, Basketball, & Softball teams, the Marauder Athletic Council, and a Class Representative. Marlee is currently undecided on her post-secondary plans.
