Summary:
|
Dr. Buffington, Superintendent, will recommend the acceptance of the $3,000.00 donation from the Pope Family Fund for the enhancement and to support the music programs at the middle school and high school. To date the Pope Family Fund has donated $12,157.00 plus $1,500 received from a daughter and a grandson to the school district for a total of $13,657.00. This was the second donation$3,000.00 for this school year period.
Their parents were Shirley M. Lankford Pope and Kenneth W. Pope and both graduated from Hobart High School. All five of their kids did, too. Mr. Pope was especially involved in the band and played sax and clarinet during the big band era. He continued to play well into his 70's in the "Rusty Pipes" in Hobart. He passed in August of 2002. Their mom eventually married again to Bill Hahn, a Purdue graduate who was active in the glee club. They met in church choir and lived in Hobart. Mrs. Hahn has since passed away. She always enjoyed attending the senior citizen activities that were held at Hobart High School.
The school corporation expresses their gratitude for the donation in memory of Kenneth Pope and Shirley Pope Hahn.
Board action will be requested.
