The Eagle Point School District 9 held a regular meeting on February 28, 2024, where various topics related to student activities and fundraising efforts were discussed. The meeting began with updates on recent and upcoming events organized by students, highlighting their engagement and community involvement.
One of the key discussions centered around the Polar Plunge fundraiser, which is set to take place this weekend at the Medford Country Club. Leadership students will participate in the event, where they will be dunked in cold water to raise funds for Special Olympics Oregon. Currently, the fundraiser has raised $315 towards its $400 goal, with a QR code available for those wishing to donate.
The meeting also featured an announcement about the annual air band performance scheduled for March 20 in the new gym. This event is a significant occasion for the high school, showcasing the hard work and creativity of students. Attendees were encouraged to mark their calendars for this performance.
Additionally, the recent winter snowball dance was noted for its successful turnout, with students voting for their peers to be crowned king and queen. Benjamin Lebec and Alyona Lechuga, both juniors, received the honors, reflecting a diverse voting process that included students from all grades.
The junior class is actively planning this year's prom, themed "Tangled," inspired by the story of Rapunzel. The theme was creatively revealed during a February assembly skit, generating excitement among students.
In an effort to enhance student feedback, the leadership class introduced a digital suggestions box, allowing students to submit ideas for improvements within the school. QR codes have been posted around the school to facilitate this process, with plans to report suggestions back to school administration.
The meeting concluded with a positive note on the progress and engagement of students, emphasizing a bright outlook for the school year. The next agenda item was set to feature a presentation from the Eagle Point FFA chapter, indicating ongoing support for student-led initiatives and programs.
