National School Resource Officer Day 2/15
February 15th is National School Resource Officer Day. Since that was over the weekend, we decided to wear blue this Friday to Deputy Hagel. Deputy Hagel is such an important part to the safety of our school and the Mardela community, each and every school day. We are so lucky to have him as part of our MMHS family and for all that he does to keep us protected. Again, teachers and staff are wearing blue today in honor of Officer Hagel and all of the SRO’s across the nation. If you see Deputy Hagel today, give him thank you and let him know you appreciate him!
