RUn-MMC

The Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn and Remsen-Union school boards Sept. 2 gave the second approval for a whole-grade-sharing agreement starting in 2016, KTIV reports. Marcus gets the high school, Remsen gets grades 5-8, each keep their own elementaries. The story says that in November, there will be suggestions taken on a new name and mascot.

I hope the new district name, if they don’t just combine the existing ones and form RUMMC, won’t be something vague and non-geographic, but this one will be tricky since the districts span two counties and no geographic features stand out. (I’m putting R-U first as an olive branch since that’s the district losing the high school.)

Since a whole new mascot has to be picked (and Iowa loses another school nicknamed the Rockets), how about Lions? We have lots of Tigers but comparatively few Lions.
