Scholarship & Skateboard park committees meet!
On Friday July 11 the two recreation committees the scholarship & skateboard park committees met together. Many items were discussed and it was determined that they would begin to work together to earn money for the two committees. One of the items discussed was to have a family movie night in the park in August! The proceeds from this event will go to the various committees. More information to follow on this event in the very near future. As of today the skateboard park committee has raised about $5,000 dollars towards the skateboard park and the scholarship committee has raised about $200 (they started raising money later then the skateboard park). Both of these committees should be commended and the volunteers for the committees should be congratulated! Way to go!! Below are some pics of the meeting!

I’ve heard some parents wondering about transportation to Sturgis for middle school and high school activities given the cost of gas.
I know that was discussed during the Horizon’s process. It was one of the ideas behind the scholarship program.
Is there any serious thought about the recreation committee coordinating transportation for the youth?

David- At this point transportation to Sturgis has not really been discussed in detail that I’m aware of. However, I’m not really on that committee so I couldn’t say for sure. I’m sure it possibly could be looked at in the future, but I think it will be more of how to get the transportation etc. I mean do individuals do the driving or do we hire someone??? I’m not exactly sure how that will all work out??

Why doesn’t the Whitewood area get a late bus like the Piedmont area? And would the school district give parents a mileage reimbursement for this expense since there isn’t a late bus available? Anyone know anything about this option?
