Russ Freeman and Jason Golding
have been generous in supporting Hanover
District and this year has been no exception.
In the Fall we were presented with a check for
$1200 to assist with our activity buses, helping
students who participate in after school
activities to always have a ride home.
Last month, at our Boys and Girls
Basketball games, we were presented with
another check from Edison Propane for
$3292.19 as a part of the rebate program that
they have established with our district.
Their strong support for Hanover
School District over the past few years has
been amazing, particularly at a time when
budget cuts and programs have been stopped at
a number of smaller schools.
