BEATRICE - Beatrice Public Schools has received delivery of several pieces of sports equipment, thanks to a donation this year from a local investment firm. 

Paul Garnett and Traci Garnett-Froscheiser from Garnett Investments donated about $70,000 - $80,000 dollars of physical education equipment for use by the school district. 

The items include ProStyle Adjustable Basketball Hoops, Elite System Volleyball Standards and Judge’s Platforms, upgraded ball carts, floor matting for weight rooms and more items.

Superintendent Jason Alexander says several of the adjustable basketball hoops are in place at the elementary schools.  The volleyball standards equipment will be used once the new Elementary School is completed. 

Paul Garnett said, “We want our students to have access to great equipment, paving the way for future success for the Lady Orange and Orangemen teams.”
