Forest Elementary student council updates: food drive, student store and teacher-appreciation notes
Summary
Forest Elementary student council members presented monthly activities to the board, including a November food-box drive (16 boxes collected), a December candy-gram sale (about 720 candy canes sold), a student store, and handwritten notes for teacher appreciation.
Students from Forest Elementary presented their year of student-council activities to the board, describing monthly projects and community outreach.
The sixth- and fifth-grade student representatives described a November food-box drive that collected 16 community food boxes, a December candy-gram sale that sold over 720 candy canes in a week, and the opening of a student store on Friday mornings where students can buy school supplies and stickers. They also described participation in kindness-week preparations and teacher-appreciation activities; the council said they hand-wrote notes for staff that will be used for teacher appreciation week in May.
The board and administrators commended the students for their work, noted parental and community involvement, and thanked families who supported the drives. The district said Forest Elementary does not maintain an on-site community food box but participates in a broader set of community food-box locations across the district.
