A huge THANK YOU to Mega’s Grill & Smiles on Main for their generous support and sponsorship of our pep buses for the Maquoketa Girls State Basketball Tournament! 🎉👏 Their contribution, along with the support of our amazing community partners, is helping cover the cost of transportation for our students—so there is now NO cost for students to ride the pep bus! 🙌
This sponsorship will also help support additional pep buses if our team continues their State journey—and we’re hopeful we’ll need them! 🔥🏀
We are incredibly grateful for all of our community supporters, partners, and families who continue to invest in our students and celebrate the great things happening at Maquoketa CSD. Your generosity makes a lasting impact, and we couldn’t do this without you! ❤️🖤
