Drexel School Board discusses cuts of transportation routes

The Drexel R-IV School Board held their regular monthly meeting on July 21, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. in the Library Media Center.
Larry Edmonds presented drawings of the proposed design for the John Gratton Memorial. The design currently consists of a nine foot diameter memorial with one foot letters spelling out “Gratton Field”. Inside will be a five foot diameter of black granite for an inscription and picture. At the head of the memorial will be a lighted flag.

October 17th has been set for the dedication.
