Before celebrating the football team’s win over Peshtigo Friday night, community members got to see where their referendum dollars went toward during an open house hosted by Southern Door School District. Hours before kickoff, school district officials cut the ribbon on its new Talon Fitness Center, which includes an indoor turf gym facility that was a part of $14.9 million in capital improvements to the campus. The process had a lot of people’s fingerprints on the project, including three superintendents. Through it all was Southern Door School Board President Janel Veeser, who is happy with the community’s feedback now that they have had a chance to experience it.
The referendum projects also included a new greenhouse, an updated septic system, parking lots, and a relocated district office.
