Thanks to a crew of volunteers, Charlo athletes now have a new weight room, located behind the stage in the high school gym.
Charlo graduate Brandon Rollins helped spearhead the project. According to Superintendent Steve Love, “fitness is a big thing of his, and he just came in last spring and said, ‘I think we can improve things for our athletes and our students by going this route.’”
The route he proposed was moving the weight room from its cramped quarters above the new gym into the space behind the stage, which had become a “catch-all” over the years.
