The Windom Area School District is looking to the future with plans for new Fine Arts and Athletic facilities.

Donations start at $10,000, with eight levels of giving available. However, any contribution is welcome. Naming rights for major areas, like the athletic complex or fine arts center, may require donations of up to $3 million.
