NODAWAY VALLEY BANK LEADS SPORTS FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Nodaway Valley Bank is serving as the lead partner in a project with the Maryville R-II School District to provide multiple sports facility updates, including new video board for the football/soccer field and a new scoreboard for the baseball/softball fields.
Nodaway Valley Bank was founded in Maryville 155 years ago on the present site at 3rd and Main and now has 10 locations across four communities. It is the largest independently owned and managed bank in northwest Missouri.
The bank has a longstanding commitment to education, dating to founder Theodore L. Robinson, who although deprived of a formal education, saw the value in public schools and served as school district treasurer for 21 years.
"We are so grateful for the generosity of Nodaway Valley Bank. Donations like this not only make a big impact on our facilities, but also make a huge difference in the lives of our students, as it allows them to see firsthand what community partnerships can create for a community and a school district" said Dr. Logan Lightfoot, Superintendent. "These gifts will allow us to continue making Maryville a school district that our whole community can be proud of."
“Maryville and Nodaway Valley Bank are inextricably linked,” said James Robinson, Chairman and CEO. “We deeply care about education’s role in the quality of life here.”
In addition to these scoreboard and video board additions, Nodaway Valley Bank’s donation will also support curriculum in a new marketing course that will be offered at Maryville High School.
The Maryville R-II School District is also proposing a no tax-rate increase bond on the April 2024 ballot that will lead to renovations and safety enhancements at multiple buildings in the school district. One of the projects on this proposition includes turf on the football/soccer and baseball/softball fields. If you would like more information on all of these projects, the district will be hosting Open Houses that will allow patrons and community members an opportunity to see these enhancements in detail:
