Superintendent Brian Rottinghaus reported the concrete walls have been poured for the new press box. The next step is to dig out the floor to make it level and pour a concrete slab floor.

Work on the gymnasium floor is underway with the repair company having removed the bad portions of the floor and patched in new maple and sanded down most of the old surface. The new design does not include an Indian mascot in the event that the mascot may need to be changed in the future.

The gym will be available for after prom activities.
