More than $2,000 of donations were accepted during Monday night’s Argos School Board meeting.
Administrative assistant Patti VanderWeele stated that the board members accepted a $500 donation that was provided by an individual for the athletics department. VanderWeele said an additional $1,588.32 was accepted from the Argos Old Gold Boosters Club.
She explained that there were five different clubs and organizations within the school that went to the Old Gold Boosters seeking financial assistance. The Boosters donated the money and school board members officially accepted it during their meeting on Monday. VanderWeele said it will be divided up amongst the various groups that requested the assistance.
The goal of the Argos Old Gold Boosters Club is to create a partnership between Argos Community Schools’ administration, staff, students and parents in order to support the academic, extracurricular and future success of Argos students.
