The Huron School District celebrated several community achievements and initiatives during its Board of Education regular meeting on November 13, 2024. Among the highlights was the recognition of various student activities and the successful return of the Trick or Treat Street event, which engaged high school students in community service.
The meeting opened with congratulations to the nutrition department for securing a grant from Farm Credit Services of America, aimed at establishing outdoor raised bed gardens. This initiative is expected to enhance the district's agricultural education and promote healthy eating among students.
In a show of appreciation, the board acknowledged Educational Support Professionals Day on November 20 and Substitute Appreciation Day on November 22, emphasizing the vital roles these individuals play in the educational system. Additionally, local businesses, including Dakota Provisions and Agtegra, were thanked for their generous donations to school events and contests, fostering community support for educational activities.
The high school student board member report featured the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), a student-led organization that promotes faith through sports. Seniors TJ Lean and Connor Hoefer shared their mission of using athletics as a platform for spiritual growth, highlighting their plans for future events, including a spike ball tournament and worship nights.
Principal Mittelstaedt presented a good news report, focusing on the Student Responsibility Block (SRB) program, which encourages community service among students. This year, sophomores led the organization of the Trick or Treat Street, a revived tradition that saw significant participation from the community. The event was a collaborative effort, with students decorating the school and distributing candy, resulting in a successful turnout that brought joy to many families.
The meeting concluded with a sense of pride in the students' accomplishments and the positive impact of community involvement in school activities. The district looks forward to continuing these initiatives and fostering a spirit of service and collaboration among students and the community.
