School Committee Invites Community Engagement for Multicultural Committee and Voting

The Lewiston Public Schools School Committee meeting on May 5, 2025, highlighted several key initiatives aimed at enhancing community engagement and school activities. A significant focus was placed on the multicultural committee, which is actively seeking involvement from staff, students, parents, and local leaders. Member Reams emphasized the importance of participation, inviting community members to either attend meetings or join the committee, thereby fostering a more inclusive environment.

Additionally, the committee discussed the recent facilities meeting, where members toured Main Street, which was described as an eye-opening experience. This tour is expected to inform future planning and development within the school district, with members expressing enthusiasm for the insights gained.

In community announcements, Member Bowden shared that prom tickets are now on sale at the high school, priced at $50 this week, with a price increase to $60 after Friday. The prom theme, inspired by the movie "Tangled," aims to create a festive atmosphere for students.

She highlighted that regardless of the outcome, voter turnout is crucial for the democratic process, reinforcing the responsibility of citizens to make their voices heard.

As the meeting concluded, there were no additional future agenda items proposed, indicating a focus on the current initiatives and community involvement efforts. The discussions reflect a commitment to enhancing school experiences and encouraging active participation from the Lewiston community.
