It was a busy morning for Fifth District Councilman David Marks.

On Thursday, Councilman Marks first visited Seven Oaks Elementary School and Joppa View Elementary School to recognize retiring faculty and volunteers.

Senator Kathy Klausmeier and Delegates Christian J. Miele and Joe Cluster were also in attendance.

Later, Councilman Marks attended the Perry Hall Middle School PTSA volunteer lunch.

There, he recognized Christine Courpas Hagan “for her leadership as we worked through the very tough issue of school overcrowding,” Marks said.
