Today, MCPS celebrated one of our most time-honored traditions- the Big M Luncheon.
This is a time for our senior Big M Trophy winners (graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.7 or higher) to honor the teacher who has had the biggest influence on them during their time as a student with Martinsville City Schools.
During an emotional ceremony, each student had the chance to stand up in front of friends and family to honor their most influential teacher with a special trophy as a token of their love and appreciation.
