SARTELL (WJON News) -- An area school is asking for help to provide some needed improvements for one of its sports teams. The Sartell-St. Stephen School District has started a fundraising campaign to raise $50,000 to convert the first bay in the school's maintenance shed to an indoor practice space and purchase a simulator for its golf teams.

Activities Director Bruce Thompson says currently team members often have to travel to Sta Fit or St. John's to get indoor practice time which is not ideal for the students, and expensive for the school to rent the space and simulators. He says having their own dedicated indoor space with state-of-the-art technology will allow students to fine-tune skills, analyze their performance, stimulate real scenarios, and enhance their already successful golf teams.
