Coupland Civic Organization to tour new school
The Coupland Civic Organization will have something new and different for their Jan. 31 meeting. Instead of having a program at the St. Peter’s Fellowship Hall, residents will be treated to a tour of the new and renovated Coupland School facilities hosted by Superintendent Tammy Brinkman. Thank you, Superintendent Brinkman, for your generous offer to show residents the wonderful new building and the renovated old facilities. Of special interest will be the new regulation size gym which Coupland has needed for many years. 01/29/2022 07:09 AM
