Facility Named Talon Community Fitness Center

Southern Door School Board members settled Monday on Talon Community Fitness Center as the name for the 40-yard-long indoor practice facility and workout center going up behind the school that will be completed this summer.

Students, staff and community stakeholders who were surveyed favored the name. Meanwhile, school board member Sam Counard and board president Penny Price agreed with Interim Superintendent Tony Klaubauf that the facility will be available at times for community uses, so the word “community” should appear in the name. Board members unanimously approved the name, 6-0.

Klaubauf said the name will go up on a sign above an entrance. He said a proposed, large, lighted sign was dropped from plans to save on costs.
