During the recent Lewiston Public Schools School Committee meeting, significant discussions centered around student field trips and the recognition of educators involved in SkillsUSA programs.
The committee unanimously approved two field trip requests, one for Geiger Elementary School to visit the Boston Museum of Science on May 16, and another for the senior class to enjoy a day at Apex Entertainment and Solomon Pond Mall in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Geiger's trip will allow students to explore various exhibits, including a planetarium and IMAX theater, while the seniors will engage in activities such as bowling and laser tag, followed by shopping at the mall.
In addition to these approvals, the meeting highlighted the contributions of SkillsUSA advisors, including Jason Merritt, who play a crucial role in coordinating events for students participating in competitions. The committee formally recognized their efforts, emphasizing the importance of their work in helping students showcase their skills and achieve success.
Furthermore, the committee discussed a request for students to attend the SkillsUSA National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. This event is a culmination of a year-long effort where students compete at local, state, and national levels, showcasing their skills in various fields.
These initiatives reflect the school district's commitment to providing enriching experiences for students, fostering both educational and personal growth. The successful approval of these trips and the recognition of dedicated educators underscore the community's support for student development and achievement.
