Dinner includes bbq, cheesy potatoes, sides, desserts and drink. Service will continue until food is gone.
Committee members and school officials will be available to discuss the plans for a new junior high addition to the current high school as well as improvement plans for the high school and elementary school building. Representatives from the Lee County Treasurer's Office will also be available to answer questions about the referendum’s impact to individual tax bills.
Tours through the current junior high will be offered to highlight the challenges facing teachers and students each day.
More information about the bond question can be found at Amboy272KIDS on Facebook or at https://amboy272kids.wixsite.com/272kids. A recently posted video highlights the reasoning behind the bond question and features Amboy School District administrators and teachers talking about how they navigate teaching in an almost 100-year old building.
One more open house is scheduled from 3-5 p.m., on Nov. 4, at the Amboy Junior High.
