It's a tradition to put on these food and drink stalls around the fair, and also to get the students themselves involved. If you stop by one of these stands, you may see students from the schools working a shift. Whether they're a student athlete or a member of the band, they say that the support from these fundraisers plays a big part in being able to do what they love while in high school.

This year's ballot will contain a proposal from Perry Local Schools to renew an existing 4.9 mills Current Expense Levy. The levy would generate $439,905 for the next five years for the district. The current expense levy is used for utilities, diesel fuel, insurance, supplies, textbooks, and salaries. All costs of day-to-day activities are paid with the district's general fund.

The Perry Local School board held their first in-person meeting since the COVID-19 outbreak. It was also the first meeting with their newly-appointed superintendent. Kelly Schooler began her new position as superintendent just last week. She already holds the job of the elementary principal. Her main responsibility now is to create a plan for the fall and she says as of now, the school will be opening its classrooms. They will be working closely with other schools in the county, and the health department to ensure a safe return. As a backup, the school is also planning for remote learning.
