A lasting gift

For nearly 35 years, the readerboard at Graham Elementary School has displayed information about countless upcoming events, along with school and community news. What you may not know is that the piece of land the readerboard stands on belonged all along to Dolores Jarvis, a longtime community member and steadfast supporter of the Bethel School District. For more than three decades, she allowed us to use the land for the readerboard, free of charge.

Recently, in a deeply generous gesture, Mrs. Jarvis approached the District with an offer: to donate this one-acre property, located directly next to Graham Elementary, to the district.
