By Lexi MooreThe Hills-Beaver Creek School Board began Monday night’s meeting by accepting a gift from Doris Blom.Blom, David Deragisch’s mother, said she wanted to give back to the school that had given her so much.She was the wife of former superintendent Dean Deragisch and watched as the Hills-Beaver Creek School District educated her six children. She said when her son decided to walk in his father’s footsteps, she decided she needed to do something to thank the district for what it has done for her.In November she told David that it was time for her to get a new car and she intended to give her old van to the school district."This school meant as much to my husband as it does to David," Blom said. "I want to thank H-BC for what they have done for my family. What better way then to give them my vehicle." Her white 1996 Chrysler Town and Country is reportedly in excellent condition and runs well.Gary Esselink accepted the van on behalf of the school board and thanked Blom for the "very generous gift."Before leaving the meeting Blom said, "This is a time of giving."
