Youth in the Gloves 4 Grades recently were treated to a private screening of “Creed II” at Marcus Ronnie’s Cinema, thanks to local businessman Shaun Swearengen, the owner of Jump Into It Boutique, and Gloves 4 Grades, which was founded by Committeeman Marty Joe Murray Jr. They were transported by chartered school bus from Marquette Recreational Center. “This event was meant to show the students that academic excellence is to be rewarded,” Murray said. “When I was a child, I had the honor roll breakfast to look forward to. I wanted to provide the children with something a bit more fun than flap jacks and bacon.” For more information, contact Gloves4Grades@outlook.com or 314.425.9259
