A fundraising drive to pay for a beautification project at Grand Island High School’s main entrance has surpassed its $10,700 goal. Brodie Kaiser, co-advisor of Grand Island High School Student Council with MaryLis Rustowicz, said, "Our goal is to create a new entryway to our high school that represents the enthusiasm and school spirit that our students share at Grand Island High School. This will also be a display of the Viking pride shared throughout our entire Grand Island community, which will last for many years to come."Fundraising began in November. Kaiser believes the project "will not only embrace the pride of Grand Island, but it will also further enhance our positive school culture." In addition to running fundraisers, Student Council accepted donations from Grand Island High School graduates. On Dec. 22, alumni visited the school (on the last day of school before the blizzard and winter recess) to make check presentations. Student Council received $1,000 from the Grand Island Alumni Association, $5,000 from the Class of 2022, and $1,497 from the Class of 2021, putting the fund drive over the top in its $10,000+ goal.
