BETHANY COLLEGE AND SMOKY VALLEY STUDENT GOVERNMENT BOARDS WORK TOGETHER TO UPDATE SIGN NORTH OF LINDSBORG

May 9, 2019
Bethany College’s student government executive board and Smoky Valley high school student council combined efforts to begin restoration of the stone sign located at the junction of Kansas Highway 4 and Bethany Drive just north of Lindsborg.

By the end of May, Bethany students will outline the orange lettering and apply a sealant. Bethany College student government hopes to make additional upgrades in the future. As a thank you for partnering on the project, Bethany students gifted t-shirts to Smoky Valley student members.
