Levitt Students Shine at SkillsUSA with Multiple Medals in Competitions

The MSAD52 Board of Directors convened on March 27, 2025, to discuss various updates and initiatives as the school year approaches its conclusion. The meeting highlighted the transition into the fourth quarter, with spring sports set to commence next week and rehearsals for the upcoming spring show, "A Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood," already underway.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to professional development efforts within the district. Assistant Teresa Kees reported on a recent workshop day held on March 14, where educators engaged with two external consultants. April Yvonne Maxey, representing HMH, focused on literacy, while Sue Hogan, an independent math consultant, worked with teachers to enhance their math instruction. Kees emphasized the productive nature of the day, noting the positive feedback from participants and the importance of continuous improvement in teaching practices.

Additionally, Kees mentioned the ongoing work with the health and physical education curriculum, which is expected to be finalized soon. This curriculum will be presented to the committee in the coming months, alongside updates on visual and performing arts standards.

The meeting also celebrated the achievements of students participating in SkillsUSA, a competition that showcases vocational skills. Kees shared a video highlighting the accomplishments of Levitt students, including gold medalist Heather Musso in emergency medical technician training and several silver medalists in various categories. This recognition underscores the district's commitment to vocational education and the success of its students in competitive environments.

As the meeting concluded, the board acknowledged the importance of these developments in enhancing educational quality and student engagement within the community. The anticipation for the upcoming quarter and the continued focus on professional development and student achievement reflect MSAD52's dedication to fostering a supportive and enriching learning environment.
