Hermosa Valley student council reports band petting zoo, STEM and leadership activities
Summary
Hermosa Valley Student Council presented school activities including beginning band instrument "petting zoo," web‑based practice tools, robotics, yearbook/photo projects and participation in United Against Hate assemblies.
Students from Hermosa Valley School's student council presented to the board on fall activities, including music, robotics, public speaking and digital citizenship events.
Noah, the Hermosa Valley ASB president, said fifth‑grade beginning band students participated in an instrument "petting zoo" to try instruments and learn options for band. He said band students are using a web‑based practice tracking program (makeamusic.com) and that the school's multipurpose room stage is being used as a rehearsal space. Other student council members described classroom projects in Spanish pen‑pal letters, personal finance simulations, leadership classes emphasizing growth mindset, Jumu robots and 3‑D printing projects, a new Math Olympiad team and Science Olympiad preparation.
Students said the school participated in a United Against Hate digital citizenship assembly presented by Digital for Good; student presenters emphasized the program's focus on online conflict management and AI misuse. The board acknowledged the update and asked a few clarifying questions about the band instrument activity logistics.
No formal action was taken; the comments were presented under student reports.
