New sign in town

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, October 20, 2015

There's a new Bulldog in town, found on an electric sign recently installed at the school. Jillian Allison, a third grader, and Blake Willeke, a senior and president of Student Council, pose by the sign which is located near State Route 81. The colorful billboard flashes information about school events, time, temperature, the American flag, and, of course, the angry-looking school mascot with a big red tongue. To pay for the sign, the school received about $7,000 in donations with the remainder of the cost coming from the permanent improvement budget. (Monty Siekerman photo)
