On Wednesday, Feb. 15 the Whitefish Credit Union made a large doanation to the Thompson Falls Booster Club. Paula Widner accepted the oversized giant check from Vice President of Marketing, Eldon Tilley and Branch Manager Pam Yeager of the Thompson Falls branch of the credit union. The donation is part of the School Spirit Debit card campaign, which raised over $12,000 for eight schools in western Montana. Paula Widner stated, “This is great and it will really help the school and the students.” Paula was informed that the oversized check can be kept at the school if they wanted. Paula Widner discussed what the Thompson Falls Booster Club does for the school and many of the students, “The Booster club donates money for the school to help out with ban. If there is a student who needs uniforms for any of the sports, we give the school money. We als donate money to help with scholarships for the students who are graduating. In November we always have a large fundraiser to get money for the school and students. We are at the games and show our support for the school and the students.” The Thompson Falls Booster Club has a page on Facebook and welcomes anyone who is interested in joining them to support the Thompson Falls public schools and show their school spirit.
