MID-COLUMBIA Health Foundation Executive Director Celeste Hill-Thomas, top, cuts a ribbon to celebrate The Dalles High School weight room remodel Wednesday night at Amaton Field. MCMC in partnership with North Wasco School District 21 began the “Level the Playing Field” project in May with a $50,000 donation. The work is now physically completed and 35 percent funded. Anyone interested in making a pledge should contact the foundation office at 541-296-7275 or email mchf@mcmc.net.
Dan Spatz and his wife, Michele, get a tour of the renovated weight room from MCMC Sports Medicine Lead Athletic Trainer Lauren Miller. The facility, which has new windows, a new floor and workout equipment, was built by Adams Construction. The weight room, which opened the first day of school, is for all students and district employees.
