The Gun Lake Tribe Wednesday morning presented Hopkins Public Schools with a check for more than $93,000 to  purchase 10 iPads for every kindergarten, first and second grade classroom as well as three mobile carts of Chromebooks for third, fourth and fifth grade students.

This technology will help the students of Hopkins become better equipped to develop the necessary technology skills needed in today’s highly technical society.

Tribe was represented by Chairman Scott Sprague; Vice Chairman Ed Pigeon and Secretary Jeff Martin, both of whom graduated from Hopkins Public Schools. Also in attendance were Tribal Council members Bob Peters (Treasurer), Phyllis Davis, Jennie Heeren (Hopkins graduate) and Jody Palmer.  Participating on behalf of the school district were principals Scott VanBonn and Amy Mielke, and School Board member Ben Brenner.  (Photo courtesy of Kim Bollone)
