Student representative reports $24,000-plus raised for playground, spring activities and updates on athletics and drama
Summary
The student representative told the committee students raised more than $24,000 in a glow-fun run fundraiser to help pay toward a playground, and reported on middle-school inclusivity programming, spirit week, sports seasons, and drama-club auditions and upcoming show dates.
The student representative reported fundraising and program updates at the Feb. 5 School Committee meeting.
Students raised more than $24,000 in a school ‘‘boost-a-thon’’ glow fun run; the representative said funds will continue to pay down costs for a recently installed playground and will support assemblies, enrichment, fifth-grade yearbooks and other student activities. The speaker said the club exceeded a $20,000 goal and that two staff members (referred to as Mr. G and Mr. Bilal) will perform a special activity as a student incentive.
The middle school reported progress on an inclusion initiative called the Playbook, with a select group of students preparing workshops with a partner school in Worcester. Spirit week and black-light activities were announced for the week before vacation, and the middle-school drama club set casts after over 90 students auditioned; show dates were noted as occurring in May (exact dates not specified in the transcript).
Committee members commended the students for the fundraising and the student spotlight; no committee action was required.
