HERSHEY, Neb. — Hershey Public Schools has named its updated weight room and fitness facility the Vern and Kelly Ehlers and Family Fitness Center, in recognition of a major contribution from the Ehlers family.
Vern and Kelly Ehlers, along with their children — TJ, Brett and Lindsay — were honored Monday night during Activities Honor Night for their support of student health and athletic development.
Superintendent Jane Davis said the family’s generosity reflects a deep commitment to the district’s students.
“Their gift goes beyond equipment — it’s a lasting legacy that will support our student-athletes, physical education programs and overall student well-being,” Davis said.
The enhanced facility is expected to benefit students at all grade levels for years to come by promoting strength, wellness and athletic growth.
“Thanks to their generosity, this space will continue to shape strong minds and bodies for generations of Panthers,” Davis said.
