Following last week’s Girard City Council meeting, the local council and Girard USD 248 announced a partnership that will soon allow residents to use one of the school’s facilities. USD 248 superintendent Todd Ferguson took the podium during the meeting, discussing partnership options between the city and school district regarding the use of the school’s Activity Center, located at 150 Apico Way on the north side of the building. “I believe you guys are probably relatively in the loop on this, but I just wanted to make sure that we’re comfortable with this moving forward,” he said. “As you may or may not know, we renovated our weight room in the basement at the high school this past summer, a state-of-the-art facility. What that means is we’ve taken some pretty good weight equipment and moved it out to the Activity Center. In talking to the mayor (Mickey Pyle), and everyone else involved, I’d love to see our community have an Activity Center where people can go out and work out, where people can go out and get on a treadmill, where people can go out and lift weights.”
