Recent updates to the weight room at Riverside Brookfield High School will improve students’ athletic experiences this year thanks to funding from the school’s Sports Boosters. Jennifer Hepker Royer, president of RB Sports Boosters, said that $26,340 was donated toward new equipment for the school’s weight room. Before the donation, the most recent renovations to the weight room took place about 15 years ago in 2009. “The school reached out to see what Boosters might be able to contribute, since it was a project that really needed to be done,” Royer said. “We wanted to try to be as generous as we possibly could, and we were excited to support a project that actually, for sure, supported the athletes, but certainly had a broader impact at the school, because all of the students can use the weight PROVIDED BY THE VILLAGE OF BROOKFIELD
