Belleville board welcomes new student representative, recognizes county poster contest winners
Summary
The district welcomed a new student board representative and presented certificates to two Belleville students who placed among county winners in the "My Essex County" poster contest.
The Belleville Board of Education introduced a new student representative and recognized two students selected in the Essex County "My Essex County" poster contest at its June 16 meeting.
Jasmine Sapulveda (identified in the meeting as the new student board representative) introduced herself and highlighted spring events: the spring concert, senior awards and upcoming middle- and high-school graduations scheduled June 19 and June 20, respectively. She encouraged students to follow the high school journalism club and noted available academic support programs.
The board presented certificates to Monet Taylor and Emerson Daddis for their placements in the county poster contest, which is run by the county clerk’s office. A district presenter said more than 1,000 students across the county enter the contest each year and that there are 20 honorable mentions and 15 winners; Monet Taylor was cited as an honorable mention and Emerson Daddis as one of the 15 winners. The presenter said Belleville School 10 had both students represented among county honorees.
Why it matters: The board’s recognition highlights student achievement and county-level competition participation ahead of the end of the school year and graduation ceremonies.
Ending: Trustees and district staff congratulated graduating seniors and thanked staff and community members for the school year; the board welcomed incoming Superintendent Dr. Alfonso at a future meeting.
