Fuller Ford funds school record recognition and signage updates

During the recent Three Rivers Local School District Board meeting on April 8, 2025, discussions centered around enhancing school recognition and updating signage, reflecting the district's commitment to honoring student achievements and improving community engagement.

One of the key topics was the ongoing effort to compile and update school records to ensure that all student accomplishments are recognized. Board members acknowledged the potential for community pushback regarding any omissions in the records but reassured residents that they are dedicated to rectifying any oversights. A donation from Fuller Ford was highlighted as instrumental in this initiative, aimed at celebrating student achievements more effectively.

In addition to recognizing student accomplishments, the board discussed the need to update the district's signage. The original quote for updating exterior signs was approximately $20,000, but through diligent efforts to seek additional quotes, the board was able to secure a new estimate of around $12,000. This cost-effective solution will allow for the replacement of outdated signs, which is part of the district's capital plan. The board emphasized the importance of maintaining these signs on a regular replacement cycle to ensure they remain welcoming and informative for the community.

The meeting also touched on the aesthetic considerations of the new signage, with plans to align the design of elementary and high school signs for consistency. The board aims to create a more inviting atmosphere at event entrances, enhancing the overall experience for visitors and students alike.

As the Three Rivers Local School District moves forward with these initiatives, the focus remains on fostering a supportive environment that recognizes student achievements while also ensuring that the school facilities are welcoming and up-to-date for the community.
