Students present Respect Week video and community classes at board meeting
Summary
Special-education teacher Jill Carey and students from the district's ASD/unified programs presented a Respect Week video and described outreach to elementary schools during the March 5 meeting.
Jill Carey, a special-education teacher at Forest Grove High School, introduced a group of students who presented a Respect Week video to the board on March 5 and described outreach the high-school community classes conducted at elementary schools.
Carey told the board that the district's community classes visited elementary schools to present Respect Week activities and that high-school students produced a video and other events at the high school. A student speaker, Brenna, thanked the board and staff for supporting opportunities and described personal growth from participation in the program.
Board members and administrators praised the students and staff for leadership and community connections, and the presentation included discussion of upcoming advocacy and legislative-awareness efforts tied to student leadership. The board did not take an action; the segment was a public-facing recognition of student work and district inclusive programs.
