Alumni News - Sargent 1997 Graduate - Travis Steffens
Steffens graduated from Sargent School District in 1997 and has since grown a unique nonprofit company known as R Investments and R Academy. According to information provided by his mother and local resident Kris Steffens, the company is well on its way to changing the lives of thousands and is continuing to grow every day.
According to information provided through several sources and including the R Investments website, "R Investments is the parent company of the R Enterprise family of companies and is the "engine" that acquires real estate assets for rehabilitation, transformation and stabilization by our subsidiaries. We work with private investors and banks to create superior rates of return in short and long term investment horizons. We leverage "Opportunity Zone" legislation to maximize long term financial results of our partners. R Investments is focused on the full cycle of wealth generation through each step of the process - planning, development, construction, rehabilitation, leasing, property management and brokerage."

ABC - Sargent Secondary's Academic Booster Club - NEEDS YOU!
We recognize students who achieve the Honor Roll each semester, we sponsor the Student of the Month program, organize send-offs for students who earn their way to state competitions in Science Fair, History Day, FBLA, FFA and Knowledge Bowl. We also host the Teacher Appreciation Lunch in May, provide meals for teachers during Parent/Teacher Conferences throughout the year, and give teachers and staff appreciation gifts at the start of school, at Christmas, and at the end of the year. We also will support funding any academic items, if requested and funds are available.
As you can tell, we do our best to give our hard-working students and staff the recognition and support they deserve. However, this is not done with the wave of a magic wand or the saying of some magical phrase. It is accomplished with monetary support, dedication, organization and help from parents and staff.
The Academic Booster Club meets quarterly or more often, if needed, in the high school library. We generally keep our meetings to an hour or less. We need parents who are willing to serve on the committee to assist in making decisions, planning, helping out when needed and/or with monetary support.
We would like as many parents, teachers, and staff to participate to hopefully have 7th through 12th grades represented.
Please consider becoming an active part of the Academic Booster Club (ABC). YOU can help make a positive impact on Sargent JH/HS students and staff!
If you would like to join this amazing team or have any questions, please contact Traci Holmes at 719-580-0273 or Tonya Wenta at 719-850-1960.
