LaGrange students present after‑school clubs and school newscast at board meeting
Summary
Students from LaGrange Elementary showcased after‑school clubs, including a weekly student newscast and leadership team, noting the district has restored many clubs to pre‑pandemic levels with over 200 participants.
Students and staff from LaGrange Elementary School presented a student showcase at the Oldham County Board of Education meeting on Sept. 23, highlighting after‑school activities and a student newscast.
"So our showcase so for the past 2 years, we have been working to bring our after school clubs back up to pre pandemic level," a LaGrange staff member said, adding that the school is running 17 clubs with "over 200 participants." Students then described their roles on the Leopards Live newscast and Leopard Leadership team.
The nut graf: the showcase emphasized student leadership and extracurricular opportunities returning after pandemic disruptions, with student-run journalism and leadership activities presented to the board and audience.
Student speakers identified themselves on the newscast: "My name is Alicia, and my name is Claire, and we are the host of Leopards Live," and other students described roles including producer, yearbook photographer and leadership team members. The presentation included a short video produced by students and ended with board members congratulating the students.
Board members asked light follow-up questions about events such as an upcoming math night; students provided answers on timing and activities. The board offered public praise and thanked LaGrange Elementary for the presentation.
No board decisions or votes were associated with the showcase; it was presented as a community recognition and informational item.
