Board honors CHS girls cross-country; middle-school students report strong transition to new building
Summary
The board recognized the Cromwell High School girls cross-country team for an outstanding season and heard student representatives report that the new middle-school building has been well received by students and staff.
The board opened its meeting by celebrating student and staff accomplishments. Cromwell High School principal (introduced as Mr. Culco) and coaches presented the girls cross-country team and noted multiple invitational wins this season. Principal remarks included a highlight that senior Taylor Mooney set the CHS course record at the CT River Valley Invitational with a recorded time of 19 minutes, 37 seconds.
Student government and middle-school representatives also gave reports on recent activities. Jacob (a high-school student representative) summarized upcoming testing (PSAT) and community service events, and middle-school representatives Jillian and Summer reported successful transition into the new Cromwell Middle School building, noting that students and teachers were acclimating to smart boards, that the building felt clean, and that extracurricular activities (yearbook, drama, select choir) were active.
Superintendent Doctor Macri noted lower suspension rates and generally improved social-emotional climate since students moved into the new building, saying the new environment appears to have contributed positively to student behavior and morale.
Ending: Board members praised students and coaches and invited student participation in future meetings and public comment (for example, if students wish to speak about a proposed track replacement). The recognition required no board action.
