Bailey, the student board member, reported on fall student activities and suggestions from a student survey, and raised a proposal for decorating and painting assigned parking spots.

Bailey said students held a club fair (about 30 students signed up for an academic team), a Fall Fun Day and pep rally, a homecoming dance, and that a breast-cancer awareness fundraiser on Sept. 30 raised roughly $1,400 (proceeds to breast-cancer awareness and the soccer booster club). Bailey also said the World Language Honor Society (Latin and Spanish) is now an official club with a $400 donation to seed a foreign-language scholarship.

On athletics and inclusion, Bailey said the new Unified Bocce team had played three matches with two wins and one loss and that participation and community helper support have been strong.

On student proposals, Bailey reported that students want more salting on winter hill walkways and asked the district to consider reducing the frequency of pizza Fridays. She also proposed painting and decorating individual student parking spots (students would pay or fundraise for the spots); Bailey said advisers and at least one administrator appeared supportive and asked that the district research materials, temporary versus permanent paints and approvals. The superintendent said he would be “not diametrically opposed” and asked staff to check rules and logistics and consult Mr. Hedwell on image approval.

Why it matters: the student report summarized student engagement activities, small fundraising successes, and a student-led request that could require district approval and logistical planning; administrators agreed to research options and guardrails rather than approve painting without a process.
