Doug Kelly, Savage graduate of 1984, graciously and generously donated $45,000 to our school to be used for the sports programs. At the Jan. 23, 2023 board meeting the Board of Trustees took action to use this amazing donation to sand, paint, refinish, and design the logos of the gym floor. This donation could not have arrived at a better time, as we knew the redoing of the gym floor was a necessity and a huge expense. Yet, we were unsure if our budget could be stretched that far at this time....

Unfortunately, the sugar beet g...

SB 55 will be on the floor this week, probably. I am still working on getting my other bills, so they have a chance at passing. I am not much on compromising, but I understand that getting part of it is probably better than nothing. There are lots of lobbyists in H...
