Board accepts donations for student activities including $2,500 from Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's
Summary
The board approved three student-activities motions: a $2,500 donation from Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's for the clay target club, a donation of over $6,000 to an elementary school and approval to distribute a Muhlenberg youth volleyball flyer to grades 4–8.
The Lehigh School District Board of Directors approved three student-activities items at its Oct. 15 meeting, including two monetary donations and a permission to distribute a youth sports flyer.
The student activities committee presented a motion to accept a $2,500 donation from Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's for the district’s clay target shooting club. The motion was seconded and approved by roll call. A committee member asked that the donor receive a thank-you letter; the board confirmed appreciation for the contribution.
A second motion recognized a donation of more than $6,000 to an elementary school; trustees approved that donation by roll call. The committee did not publicly specify the donor breakdown beyond the meeting description.
A third approved motion authorized distribution of a Muhlenberg youth volleyball flyer to students in grades 4–8.
Why it matters: Donations provide direct support for extracurricular programming and student opportunities, and the board’s approval allows schools to accept funds and distribute youth program information to families.
Board members thanked donors and committee leaders during the meeting. The motions passed without recorded opposition and staff were directed to send thank-you correspondence.
