    Rosebud Lions Club is giving in a big way to support the new school being built in the East Wheatland area.
    Last Week Golden Hills School Division announced it has selected Wheatland Crossing as the name of the new school. Even before the school was named the Rosebud Lions made a commitment of $20,000 over three years to the Friends of East Wheatland to support the school.  Recently they made the second installment.
    Friends of East Wheatland helps to support items that fall outside the basic construction of the school. This could include playground equipment or other amenities
    President of the Rosebud Lions Pat Murphy said the school will benefit the whole area.
    “We felt that because most of our kids and grand kids are going there, we should be investing in that,” said Murphy.
He believes that the new high quality school centrally located will help stem the movement of students who opted to attend school in surrounding communities.
    “It will get a lot of our kids back who moved out, so we believe we’ll be able to keep our kids closer,” he said. “We are hoping more people will move to the area and keep it vibrant and growing.”
    “There are spin-offs for everybody.”
