The Marblehead School Committee accepted a donation from the Marblehead High School senior class to purchase a vinyl graduation banner and three water bottle refill stations for the high school.

Senior class president Jared Capovich presented the proposal and said the class consulted with custodial staff and facilities. The requested items include a vinyl graduation banner with wind slits (estimated $875) and three water bottle refill stations priced at $2,031.48 each (totaling $6,094.44), for a combined donation of $6,969.44. Facilities staff will procure and install the bubblers; the banner will be printed locally.

Why it matters: The upgrades are intended to replace aging equipment and provide a wind-resistant graduation backdrop. The committee confirmed the existing banner will be preserved for non-graduation use and facilities will coordinate installation.

Vote: The committee moved to accept the donation, a second was recorded, and a roll-call vote approved acceptance 4–0.

Ending: The chair thanked the senior class and staff; facilities and administration will process the donation per district procedure for donor gifts and installation.
