Student council events, new high‑school food pantry and student production crew highlighted at board meeting

Student council president Colton Bu updated the board on recent and upcoming student activities including a middle‑school glow dance fundraiser, a high‑school Unity Day and a student leadership trip to the state student council conference. He also described a charity volleyball tournament and a Halloween costume contest.

Hunter Fleischer, communications director, told the board the district launched a new North Polk food pantry housed at the high school. The pantry’s initial hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:25 to 3:50 p.m.; it is available to district families, students and nearby community members. Fleischer asked donors to contact Taylor Irvin, the district’s student engagement counselor, for contributions or to arrange alternate pickup times. "If you wanna donate, please contact Taylor Irvin, our student engagement counselor," he said.

Fleischer also credited the student production crew for running scoreboard and streaming operations at recent events. He said one contest was run entirely by students with adult guidance available as needed and asked for an additional four to six volunteers to support future events.

Board members praised student leaders and staff overseeing activities, with specific thanks to staff members who support student council and to teachers and staff responsible for homecoming logistics.
