Summary

District staff presented the March athletics and activities update, reporting student successes across clubs and sports and progress on non-competitive student initiatives like the new mascot costume and a Hall of Fame working group.
Clubs and student organizations: The drone team held a competition at the high school on Feb. 22 and two teams qualified for the 2025 Northeast Regional Drone Championship in West Virginia; FBLA set a school record with 26 members qualifying for the FBLA State Leadership Conference (April 7'ad9); the Leo Club named Natalie Miller Pennsylvania State Leo of the Year and the club membership has more than doubled under her leadership.

Indoor track: Lily Schindler and Lexi Boiardi competed at states; Boiardi was reported to have won the high jump (meeting report indicated a 5'a010" jump was cited during the committee update) and the presentation noted she is currently ranked first in the state and third in the nation for her event.
Mascot and Hall of Fame: The mascot committee finalized design choices and the costume is now in fabrication; staff plan a reveal when fabrication is complete.
