WE TOLD YOU OVER THE WINTER OF A SIZABLE DONATION TO THE FAYETTE R-3 SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THE DONATION CAME FROM JAY AND KELLY JACOBS, AND TOTALED 325-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE DISTRICT.

A BULK OF THAT MONEY WENT TO IMPROVING OR UPGRADING A NUMBER OF AREAS IN THE DISTRICT INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES, STAFF TRAINING, ESTABLISH A DISTRICT WIDE TUTORING PROGRAM, AND TO PURCHASE INSTRUCTIONAL EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS AND BOOKS.

ABOUT 70-THOUSAND DOLLARS OF THE DONATION WAS SET ASIDE TO RENOVATE THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FIELD, AND REPLACE THE FIELD'S WOODEN BLEACHERS.

SUBSEQUENTLY THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTED TO RENAME THE FIELD AS THE THOMAS S. DAVIS MEMORIAL FIELD, AFTER A 1985 GRADUATE OF FAYETTE, WHO DIED FROM A RARE FORM OF CANCER IN 2004.
