Superintendent highlights student trips, autism awareness and upcoming STEAM Expo at Neshaminy SD
Summary
Superintendent Bennett shared student achievements and events including a student artwork selected for the Bucks County Intermediate Unit gallery, Maple Point eighth-graders’ Washington, D.C. tour, a Nashville music trip, an autism-awareness visit, and the district’s STEAM Expo.
Superintendent Mr. Bennett used his report at the April 8 Neshaminy School District board meeting to highlight recent student activities and upcoming events across the district.
He announced that Carl Sandburg fifth grader Isaiah Leonard had artwork selected to represent the district at the Bucks County Intermediate Unit annual art gallery in Doylestown. “Congratulations to Carl Sandburg, fifth grader Isaiah Leonard who had his artwork titled 1 of 1 selected to represent Neshaminy this year,” Bennett said; the artwork will be on display at the Intermediate Unit office through December.
Bennett reported that 48 Maple Point eighth graders joined the Bucks County Tour of Honor to visit War Memorials in Washington, D.C., including the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. He said the Maple Point Select Choir performed at a veterans’ dinner after the tour. He also noted that Neshaminy High School musicians recently traveled to Nashville and performed at the Grand Ole Opry.
On school programming, Bennett described activities for Autism Acceptance Week. He said Tuanket Elementary (transcript spelling) hosted Ben Hartramp, an autism-awareness speaker who is autistic, and that staff and students responded positively. “Ben has spent the day visiting students in every grade, talking to them, answering their questions, and reading to them,” Bennett said, noting strong community feedback.
Bennett closed by promoting the district’s annual STEAM Expo at the high school, scheduled for Thursday, April 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. He described the event as free and family-friendly, featuring hands-on activities and exhibits from teachers, students, community groups and first responders, and said it consistently draws hundreds of families.
No formal actions or votes were associated with the superintendent report; the remarks were informational updates to the board and the public.
