Students, teacher honored for community service projects and top test scores at Levy County School Board meeting
Summary
Superintendent and classroom teacher Christina Story highlighted students with high assessment scores and a classroom program that runs a cafe, volunteers at a pregnancy center and food bank, and operates a clothing/toiletries closet for students in need.
The Levy County School Board recognized students and a teacher for academic achievement and community service initiatives during its meeting. The superintendent introduced the group and called up Christina Story of Chiefland Middle High School to describe classroom projects and student accomplishments.
Several students were named for high assessment scores: Gabriel Rodriguez (perfect score on a fourth‑grade ELA assessment), Haley Herzl (perfect score on a U.S. history assessment), Alex Resto Rodriguez (high score in biology) and Molly Bergman (high school recognition). The superintendent and board members praised the students’ work.
Christina Story described hands‑on classroom projects that connect students to community service and workplace skills. Students described a classroom cafe and said they volunteer regularly at the Harmony Pregnancy Center and at a community food bank where they help organize supplies, carry items to cars and break down tables. Story also detailed a school “closed closet” that collects personal items (toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, deodorant) and clothing to assemble care kits for students districtwide from pre‑K through 12th grade.
Board members commended Story’s classroom as a model of work‑based learning and community engagement; the superintendent invited trustees and community members to visit the classroom. The meeting included a group photo of students, teachers and board members.
No formal board action was taken on the recognitions; the items were presented as highlights and part of the superintendent’s report.
