Also, the City has repaired the front steps to the Home. The City will have the dilapidated Nursing Home structure demolished by the end of May. Mr. Arismendez plans to discuss with the City Council at the March meeting ideas to erect new fencing on the other three sides of Pioneer Park to match the front, but without the lights on top of the fence. He would like to put lighting of sorts throughout Pioneer Park to help with security, though. He requested wording for the new fence sign from the Hostesses to replace the one taken down on the old fence. The Hostesses agreed on the wording:
Medallion Home Museum
Texas Historical Landmark
Open Most Sundays 2 – 4 p.m. 432-586-3468

c. Memorials – Velma Ethridge, Chair: Janet Marler reported for Keri Jones about the status of the four bricks from the old Kermit High School given to the Medallion Home.

He can attach permanent signage to the stone which would read, “These bricks were from the Kermit High School erected on School Street in 1951. The public school included a band hall, gymnasium, auditorium, and classrooms. In 1963, additional classrooms were added on the North side of the school. The final addition, located in the central South area of the school in 1982, included a new front entrance and the relocation of the office and library areas. The school was used to educate students until September 2011, when the new school was built, and it was eventually demolished in February 2024.” Mr. Bean can also etch a picture of the former Kermit High school and include that in the marker attachment. Betty Edwards will find a picture. It is hoped that the four bricks can be laid in a cement footing with the granite marker. Connie Phillips will ask the city manager about the cement base. It was discussed to inscribe the top of the bricks by laser the specific building from where the bricks came. Hostesses.
