Following a unanimous suggestion from the teachers, an electronic message board has been selected as the 2010 “special project” for the Alton R-IV Public Schools Foundation. The sign will be used to recognize outstanding achievement and performance by students, classes, groups, and organizations, as well as to provide information about school activities to the community. Money will only need to be raised for the installing, raising, and moving of the sign, as the digital part of the sign itself is being donated by Tracey Hollis Renfro (class of ’80), while the land for the sign is being donated by alumni Ron & Sheila Campbell. Kristie Rackley (class of ’87), Frank Young (class of ’83), and Patrick Ledgerwood (class of ’99) have agreed to donate their services for the installation, with students and workers from the school helping with the landscaping.
