MFL MarMac has record-breaking large group speech season


Nine MFL MarMac events representing 35 students have advanced to the All-State Large Group Speech Festival. This is the most All-State events and students the school has ever had, and it ranks as the fifth highest number of students from a single school across the entire state this year. (Photo submitted)
