Excitement buzzed through the SAU 30 School Board meeting as students and faculty celebrated a series of successful events and initiatives. The highlight was the recent bake sale fundraiser organized by the student council, which raised an impressive $230 over three days. This money will directly support senior scholarships, allowing the council to award $200 to $300 scholarships to deserving students.
In addition to the bake sale, the meeting featured updates on the March Madness Dodgeball tournament, where the juniors are currently undefeated, and the upcoming Springapalooza. The planned dress-up days for Springapalooza include themes like "Mathletes vs. Athletes" and "Country vs. Country Club," promising a spirited competition reminiscent of past events like winter carnival and homecoming.
The meeting also recognized the achievements of 15 senior students who were honored as NHI scholar athletes for maintaining a B+ average while earning two varsity letters in different sports. This recognition took place earlier that day, showcasing the school’s commitment to celebrating academic and athletic excellence.
On the administrative side, the assistant superintendent reported on the LEAF grants, which awarded a total of $4,482.11 to five staff members for various projects across the district. This funding aims to enhance educational experiences and was met with enthusiasm from the recipients.
Overall, the meeting underscored a vibrant school spirit and a dedication to supporting student achievements, both academically and athletically, as the school year progresses.
