Lightspeed Engraving donated laser engraving services to create a Sullivan Eagle on the front of the podium.
“It’s beautiful and an honor to have such a wonderful podium of this quality in the theater,” said Paige Russell, theater director. “This is just another example of how giving and supportive our community is. This podium is a perfect match for our wonderful facility.”
Jennifer Schmidt, member of the Class of 1982, stated that the class really wanted to donate something to the school that was a needed item and the group felt that there was a great need for a podium in the theater.
The podium was manufactured in Sullivan by Executive Wood Products, the largest producer of lecterns and podiums in the United States, according to business owner, Paul Alexander.
