Central Lee Athletics and Fine Arts programs cannot operate without the support of our business and community sponsors. For the past several years, Pilot Grove Savings Bank has been a prominent supporter of Central Lee athletics and fine arts programming. At last night's volleyball game, Pilot Grove Savings Bank presented a $2,000 check to the booster programs at Central Lee. Each booster program will receive $1,000 from Pilot Grove Savings Bank to help support Central Lee student programs.
Pictured are Dr. Andy Crozier (Superintendent), Scott Fogarty (Sports Boosters President), Wes McGraw (Activities Director), Matt Morrison (PGSB), Steve Jones (PGSB), Jordan Kramer (PGSB), Tracy Madsen (Music Director), and Heather Fuger (Music Boosters President).

We are proud to have such great community sponsors in our district. Together, we continue to work on making a better tomorrow for our students.
