MSD Wabash County Schools board approves dozens of donations for athletics and student programs

The MSD Wabash County Schools board approved dozens of community donations to support school athletics and student programs at its meeting tonight. The Chair asked for a motion to approve the donations and, after a second, the board approved them by voice vote.

The district read aloud contributions including $400 from Affiliate Appraisals; $200 from BNK Drive-In and Jeremy Wilma Enterprises; $400 from Payton and Alyssa Deer; $500 from Gentry Well and Punk; and multiple additional gifts earmarked for Southwood baseball, Northville baseball, Northfield baseball and wrestling, Southwood girls basketball, youth football, and the Southwood golf program. Individual donations mentioned in the transcript ranged from $20 for an AGIQ crop insurance advisor gift to $2,500 from Forge Functional Fitness for Southwood youth football.

The Chair initiated the approval, asking, "Can I get a motion, a second to approve all of these generous donations for our programs at the schools?" A board member seconded the motion, and the Chair called for a voice vote: "All in favor say 'I.'" The transcript records affirmation and no opposition.

The donations will be allocated to specific school programs as announced during the public recognition portion of the meeting. The district did not provide a summarized total donation amount on the record, nor were individual board member votes recorded by name in the transcript; the approval was completed by voice vote.

Next procedural items included school recognitions and a facilities project update later in the meeting.
