District honors Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation, Cheshire Public Library and German award winners
Summary
The board recognized community partners and dozens of student award winners, including the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation for partnership work, the Cheshire Public Library for school visits, and multiple students who earned awards on the national German exam.
The Cheshire Board of Education recognized community partners and student achievements during its meeting.
The board presented a partnership recognition to Dan and Theresa Lee and the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation for supporting student leadership programs, peer health education, and community service projects. A district representative said the foundation helps students run leadership conferences for younger peers, supports community service projects like donations to the Cheshire Community Food Pantry, and provides scholarships and supplies.
The board also recognized the Cheshire Public Library interim director for regular storytime visits to Darcy School designed to familiarize young children with library staff and encourage family library use.
Separately, the board and German program staff honored a group of students who placed among the top scorers on the national American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) exam. Presenters named students who earned state‑level recognition, noting two Connecticut gold medalists from Cheshire and a record number of award winners from the district; certificates were presented and a group photograph was taken.
Board members offered congratulatory remarks to the foundation volunteers, library staff and students during the public recognitions portion of the meeting.
