Board meeting highlights: unified basketball, top‑10 dinner and local alum headed to Shark Tank
Summary
Board members and administrators highlighted student events — a unified basketball game, an elementary science fair and recognition of 13 top‑10 graduating seniors — and a former graduate, Lauren Menard, is scheduled to appear on Shark Tank in June with a biodegradable earplug product.
Board members used part of the meeting to highlight recent student and community events, including a unified basketball game on campus, an elementary science fair, and recognition of 13 graduating seniors at a Clinton County School Board Association academic celebration.
A board speaker described the unified basketball event as emotionally powerful and said it showcased students’ mutual support and staff commitment. Administrators also thanked educators for preparing students for exams and noted the district’s math participation rate rose to 78.9% from last year’s 74.4%.
The nut graf: board members emphasized community and student achievement, and they called attention to an alum who has drawn regional attention. Board member Pedroia said 2010 graduate Lauren Menard, daughter of Daryl Menard, will appear on Shark Tank in June to pitch a biodegradable earplug product made from mycelium (mushroom roots) and that she is considering moving production back to the Plattsburgh area.
Pedroia described Menard’s product and entrepreneurship as a source of community pride and said he would share the television date when it is available. Administrators thanked volunteers and staff for the elementary science fair and other events and noted multiple end‑of‑year ceremonies and senior events scheduled for June.
Board members closed the remarks by congratulating students and staff for recent accomplishments and encouraging community support.
