At the Eastern Pulaski Community School Board meeting Monday night, Craig Barr was officially appointed to the recently established position of Champ Club Director.
The Winamac Champ Club is an organized, formal weightlifting and training program that meets before school, according to Superintendent Dan Foster. The club was formed about a year and a half ago. Initially, the club was limited to female students but was expanded to be a co-ed club.
Foster explained that Barr served as the leader of the club on a volunteer basis up until now but when this year’s Master Contract was negotiated they added on the extracurricular position of Champ Club Director.
Superintendent Foster also commended the dedicated parents who help students attend the club on a regular basis.
Foster said many students have to having to get a ride in the morning. He explained, ” It’s not just jumping on the bus, you have to get a ride. So a lot of kudos to some parents for helping out with that too.”
The superintendent added that next week, the club will celebrate the major benchmark of their 250th workout.
