Lee Keffer has been named the latest Covenant Builders Hometown Hero. He will be honored at Saturday’s Fort Hays State University basketball games, scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
Eagle Communications is the game sponsor, and the Tiger women will wear their pink uniforms in support of breast cancer awareness, so wear pink to support them.
From Keffer’s nomination form:
“Mr. Keffer is the principal at Roosevelt Elementary in Hays. He is a veteran of our Military. Mr. Keffer is the true meaning of honesty, integrity and a great leader. The children at Roosevelt Elementary know he means business but also know he truly cares about each of them.
“Many of the young boys in our school that do not have a father figure look up to him. He gives the children at Roosevelt Elementary a safe, structured environment to learn in. As a boss he is top notch. He will stand by his word even when it does not benefit him (or actually makes his job harder and he has to ‘take the heat’).
“I feel honored to have him as a boss and blessed to have him as my child’s principal.”
