Marrion — Instead of shopping for new clothes, Marrion Elementary School staffers had a different idea to help families score some new outfits during the school. They organized the school’s Don’t Shop, Just Swap event earlier this month. Families at Marrion were encouraged to donate old clothes in good condition to the school, and then pick up something else from another family. Nearly 50 families participated in the swapping event at Marrion.
