Bucktail Fitness Center Unveiled
FARWELL – It’s official: the ribbon has been cut, the grand opening ceremony held Thursday evening at the recently completed Bucktail Fitness Center.
Board president Jack Peters wielded the scissors, flanked by western Clinton County school board representative Butch Knauff and district superintendent Kelly Hastings. Afterwards visitors had a chance to tour the new center.
The fitness center was designed with federal funds from a $280,000 grant recently awarded to the school district after four years of work to submit the successful application by the Health and Physical Education faculty in KCSD with support from Lock Haven University’s Department of Health and Physical Education. Project coordinator Don Mansfield said the fitness center will facilitate even more collaborative opportunities between the Keystone Central School District and Lock Haven University faculty and its students.
The Bucktail center will be available to the public beginning in February; meanwhile Bucktail students, Mansfield said, are establishing baselines on the equipment and working to improve their physical fitness.
Two other facilities are in the offing: one at Central Mountain High School next year and at the Central Mountain Middle School the following year.
