Last week, Thorndale ISD thanked the community via social media for all the donations made for new
weight room equipment. Trying something new, it was Thorndale student athletes that reached out to many different people to help raise money for new weight machines through text message and e-mail.
“The kids got after it,” TISD athletic director John Kovar said. “They recognized the need for it and kept texting and e-mailing people.”
Kovar said the new equipment should last the school for quite some time.
“We have a big weight room that’s really spacious, but we just always had equipment that we would end up having to replace every couple of years. But with the new equipment, I think it will up our participation and the kids already seem excited.”
The fundraising began this past spring.
