During a recent Pomona Unified School District meeting, discussions centered on enhancing educational tools and fostering school spirit through various initiatives. A key focus was the integration of social-emotional learning tools, particularly the \"Character Strong\" program, which aims to support counselors in delivering comprehensive lessons from kindergarten through 12th grade. Board members emphasized the importance of aligning these educational practices to create a positive school culture.
The meeting also highlighted the district's proactive approach to education with the introduction of the Sky Schools program, which will expand beyond first and second grades to encompass multiple grade levels over the coming years. This initiative is designed to ensure that all students receive support tailored to their developmental needs.
Student representative Christina Finch provided an enthusiastic update on the district's homecoming activities, showcasing the vibrant participation across schools. Events included themed spirit weeks, competitive rallies, and football games, all aimed at boosting school spirit and community engagement. Finch noted that schools like Diamond Ranch and Genesha High School have dedicated significant efforts to their homecoming celebrations, with themes ranging from \"Festival of Lights\" to \"Haunted Mansion.\"
The meeting concluded with a sense of community pride and a commitment to enhancing educational experiences for all students in the Pomona Unified School District.
