For the first time, in some time, a perpetual giving program is being re-established with the goal of continuing to relieve the financial stress from our school board when it comes to financing our student activities and athletics.

Called the "E-FUND", the 5-year giving program is being unveiled this month to all SGS/SHS alumni.

"It has been a while since we've done something in this regard with our alumni.  We always want to be out in front of funding issues and needs in the future and want to make sure that we can do our part to keep the financial stresses on our school board to a bare minimum," said Saunemin A.D. Mike Stoecklin.

"This program is going to give alumni the opportunity to continue to support their alma mater, and will enable us to better plan for the foreseeable future," said Stoecklin.
