MCPS VETERANS DAY CEREMONY

On Friday, Nov. 10, we honored those who served in our annual Veterans Day Ceremony!

Held at Marion County Veterans Park (2601 E. Fort King St., Ocala, 34470) at 11 a.m., the event was open to the community.

Several schools and community partners participated in this event as we educate students while recognizing veterans through musical performances, speeches, and military ceremonial mannerisms.

The full video of the ceremony can be found below.

CELEBRITY CHEF VISIT

On Friday, Nov. 3, several of our school's culinary art programs welcomed celebrity chefs to their classrooms as guest lecturers.

The four chefs, Lorena Garcia, Timothy Hollingsworth, Rashad Jones, and Yohann Le Bescond, were in town for the local food festival held at the World Equestrian Center - Ocala (WEC).

Once again, WEC partnered with the Public Education Foundation of Marion County (PEFMC) to raise funds for MCPS culinary programs through the festival.



Thank you to both WEC and PEFMC for bringing these chefs to our students and schools!
