Holmen student councils report year of service projects, blood drives and community outreach
Summary
Middle and high school student councils reported service projects, fundraising, and student‑recognition activities; highlights included blanket/fiber‑arts charity work at the middle school and two blood drives at the high school that collected 107 units.
Middle and high school student councils presented annual reports to the Holmen School Board describing service projects, student recognition programs, and community partnerships.
Middle school: HMS student leaders described a year-long student council of about 40–50 members. Projects included a fiber-arts blanket project and crocheting hearts for a "little heart project," support for the Veterans Day assembly, pumpkin‑pie baking for a community Thanksgiving dinner, and fundraising via the Box Tops program that had raised more than $250 as of May 1.
High school: Holmen High School student council officers said full-council membership is about 41 students. They described adapting to a new meeting schedule, organizing homecoming and a parade, monthly staff appreciation prizes and parking rewards, and two blood drives that together collected "a hundred 7 units of blood," which presenters counted as over 300 lives potentially helped when each unit can serve multiple patients.
Why it matters: student council presenters emphasized leadership, service learning and community partnerships (Salvation Army, WIN, Home and Hope, PTG). The student leaders also described scholarship opportunities tied to student council service and senior recognition items.
Ending: trustees thanked the students for their presentations. The item was an information report and no board action was requested.
