All Things Mustangs
WHAT A WEEK! So many great accomplishments. This two week stretch is one of my favorites each year. State Cheer and Dance, State Wrestling, Conference Speech, District Basketball, FFA and FBLA Weeks. Thank you to everyone that helped with a crazy week last week with rescheduling and coverage changes. It was quite the week!

MORE THAN A FIELD
LATEST UPDATES
We will have weekly updates on progress and celebrations on the More Than a Field project. So much to be excited about already!
- The school board approved a lease purchase option for this project. TO BE CLEAR, this lease purchase is not to fund the project by the school. It allows our foundation to extend donations and sponsorships over the course over a few years. This allows us to have a business commit to a total amount and spread the payments over 3-5 years. The FOUNDATION is responsible for the payments on the lease purchase and ONLY funds that have a contract will be allowed to be drawn. The total lease purchase amount may not ever get used. This gives the foundation flexibility to move forward with the project and allow sponsors to spread payments over a few years.
- Phase 1 of the project is still being funded without the use of taxpayer dollars. We are very proud of this fact.
- We will be sending out information over the next couple of months to get commitments and interest from local individuals and businesses that would like to be part of the construction process by utilizing In-Kind work to help accomplish our goal.
- We have received SIX Corporate Naming Rights Sponsorships as well as FOUR corporate agreements for In-Kind and monetary support. We currently have raised OVER $650K from Donations, Sponsorships and In-Kind work.
Next Steps:
- Working with businesses for monetary donations, like-kind donations, sponsorships
- Develop Corporate Naming Rights agreements for different areas of Phase 1
