At the regular meeting on March 15, the Lanesboro School Board accepted a special donation from Jeff Schwichtenberg. Schwichtenberg donated money in the amount of $3,250 to go toward a new scoreboard. The City of Lanesboro will be putting the scoreboard up for the school, and Haakenson Electric will be doing the electrical work.

Superintendent Jeff Boggs said they have been having trouble with the old scoreboard for years, and have been using a portable one.

“We’re very appreciative,” he said. “It’s going to be great.”

The board thanked Schwichtenberg, S&A Petroleum and the city, for their generous donation.

Spring sports

Coaches were approved for the spring sports golf and track. John Smith will be the head coach for golf, with Mike Wilford as assistant coach. In track, Lori Anderson and Jeff Debuhr are the head coaches, with Tom Hatleli, Jared Pierce, Ellen Cullen, Alex Aiken, and Eric Bunge.

John Smith stated that of the 22 seniors, 16 of them have been accepted to a college. Ten of them will be attending a four-year school, five a community college, and one a tech school. Four students will be going into the military, and two students are working or are undecided.

The board approved letting school out at 11:30 a.m. on the last day, Friday, June 1.

The Scholarship Banquet will be held on April 29, 2012, at 6 p.m. at Eagle Bluff.
