Meadowlark Middle School has gotten a “spirit
rock”, thanks to Lowder, Inc. a local grading contractor.
The owner, Gene Lowder, enjoys participating in
local school projects.
Spirit
rocks add fun to the educational experience and are painted by the students to
build excitement. Paintings on a spirit rock can promote events, announcements,
words of support for an athletic team, congratulations, recognize a teacher,
welcome messages or other more creative endeavors.
Some schools even allow students and their families to paint a
message on their spirit rock for a small donation that contributes to a fund
for a school event or aid a local charity.
Though Lowder does not have a child at
Meadowlark, he is always looking for ways to “give back” to the community… and
locating and transporting an 8-ton bolder for the school was a way to give back
in a very big way.
“It took a 40-ton dump truck to get it here and
a 10-ton wheel loader to place it,” Lowder said. “It is a pleasure to help out
the kids and I know this rock will excite the students.”
Here is what Principal Joey Hearl had to say:
“We are very excited about getting a spirit
rock for Meadowlark Middle. Almost 1300 students and staff will be surprised to
see it when they return in a few weeks. The spirit rock will be an excellent
addition to the main entrance area of the school. We are very grateful to Gene Lowder for his
generous donation to Meadowlark Middle.”
