Marquez Holds Ping Pong Fundraiser

held it's third annual Table Tennis Tournament last week and all three winning parents were Palisadians.

The Cup winner was Rudy DeFelice, the Ladies winner was Uma Sartory and the Plate winner was Rajath Shourie. Fifth-grader George Gray took first place in the Under-14 division.

The Table Tennis Tournament is just one of the many yearly events that parents and friends host to raise funds for , the school's booster club.

This year's goal is to raise in excess of $500,000. These funds have already been committed to pay for extra teachers, to reduce class sizes and to fund enrichments such as physical education, music, art, science and the school's award winning .

Friends of Marquez is always on the lookout for party hosts and ideas, so local business owners should contact the organizers with their suggestions and support.
