Board accepts community donations for food pantry, Bearpack and reading programs
The Byron Public School District board reported and approved a set of community donations March 16 to support student needs and programs.

The gifts announced included $1,000 from Stephanie Saffron and Chad Jordan to the food pantry; $400 to the food pantry from a K. Lawrence Memorial donation; two $2,000 gifts from the American Legion (one for the food pantry, one for the Bearpack program); $300 from Donna and Thomas Van Duklam for the 'I Love to Read' program; and $200 from Byron United Methodist Church for Bearpack. A motion to approve the donations as presented was made and the board proceeded with a roll-call for that item: Jeremy, Lisa, Nadia and David registered 'I' on the vote as recorded in the transcript.

Board members thanked donors and recognized the community support these gifts provide for food security and reading promotion.
