Daybreak Middle School ASB leaders describe clubs, service and school traditions
Summary
Two Daybreak Middle School student leaders presented to the board about after‑school clubs, character education, spirit weeks and student leadership programs; they warned levy failure puts such activities at risk.
Eli Wilhelm, president of the Daybreak Middle School Associated Student Body, and vice president Harley Henderson presented a student‑voice report to the board describing after‑school clubs and school traditions and urging support for student programs. The students highlighted a long list of clubs and supports — magic, book club, multicultural club, jazz band, marching band, homework help, robotics, math club, anxiety and mental-health support groups — and said the failed levy threatens extracurricular activities and sports next year.
Wilhelm described an active library program that raised roughly $15,000 at book fairs (Scholastic retained half, and library staff used proceeds to buy books and improve resources). Both students recounted ongoing character‑traits recognition (students-of-the-month) and school events: Daybreak on Display (May 28), spirit weeks, assemblies and a student‑run “Dragon Dollar” incentive and school store. Harley Henderson said the school collected 2,001 pounds in a recent canned‑food drive that was donated to the North County Food Bank and described student mentoring of younger peers during enrichment periods.
Board members asked questions about peer mentoring, program longevity and logistics; the student presenters described mentorship as a relatively recent practice that appears to be well received. The short, largely celebratory presentation closed with board praise for the students’ leadership.
