Students at Ralph Bell Elementary are enjoying an upgrade to the school's gymnasium thanks to a generous $50,000 donation from the Krogseth Foundation.
The Krogseth Foundation reached out to the Ralph Bell Parent Advisory Council (PAC) in Fall 2025 to ask how they could support students. Following discussions with the PAC, the Foundation chose to fund the installation of new glass basketball backboards and electronically adjustable basketball hoops, creating a modern and versatile space that will benefit students for years to come.
The donation has transformed the gymnasium, providing enhanced equipment that supports physical education classes, school sports teams, recreational activities, and community rentals. The new electronic hoop system allows the baskets to be easily adjusted for different age groups and activities, making the space more accessible and flexible for all learners.
"The Ralph Bell school community is incredibly grateful for the generosity of the Krogseth Foundation," shared Principal Tiffany Hawkins. "This upgraded gym equipment will have a lasting impact on our students, families, staff, and community for many years to come."
Ralph Bell Elementary School extends its sincere thanks to the Krogseth Foundation for its investment in student success and wellbeing.
