Bunker R-III School District

Disclaimer: Long post, but worth the read! Yesterday was a cold first day of Spring Trap for the kids, but they shot pretty well for their first day back and for it being as windy as it was! We also finally have the kids in some shirts that list ALL of our sponsors, and they are ALL listed on this post as well. We want to thank you so much all for supporting us, there is no way this would have been possible without each and every one of you- and I really mean that- if my budget projections are correct for this past fall and current spring season, we will have just enough to cover everything we need with a little left over. Also thank you to those of you who have chosen to support us anonymously, we haven't forgotten you either! We also want to thank the Amarals for helping us with secure storage and ammunition, the Rolla Shooting Club for giving us a place to shoot, Booster Club for getting us a thrower, and I personally want to thank Mr. Mike for being assistant coach- he does a lot of running around for the team, contacting people, driving the bus, and all sorts of other stuff- this would not be possible without his help! Also thank you to the parents who trust us with the safety of your kiddos, they have been extra safe and responsible and have been extremely respectful of range staff. It really does take each and every one of those mentioned and those that I'm sure I forgot (sorry if I have) to make this new program work! This has truly been one of the coolest and most fun things I have ever been blessed to do as an educator! We will keep you updated throughout the Spring season- in the meantime, stay tuned for some BIG news coming up!
