ROSSFORD – The Rossford School District is inviting all students, alumni, friends, and members of the
community to attend a groundbreaking ceremony on Sunday, beginning at 3 p.m., on the grounds behind

The event is the start of phase one of the new athletic complex.
The schedule of events will include a special invocation and welcoming comments from school board
officials and staff just prior to the groundbreaking ceremony.

has been budgeted at $3 million and will include a running track and soccer field with seating and a
press box, baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts, public restrooms, paved parking and concession

serves approximately 1,900 students from grades K-12 who live in Rossford, Perrysburg Township,
Northwood and parts of Lake Township.
