Summary
Members of the Sahuarita Teen Advisory Council presented a year-end recap of events — including Splash Bash, Winterfest, a mural project, and a teen memorial lantern program — and staff reported 10 completed applications for next year’s membership.
Sahuarita — Teen Advisory Council members presented their end-of-year report to the council, outlining a year of community events and volunteer projects and describing recruitment progress for the coming year.
Staff advisors Lacey Simmons and Caitlin Prouty introduced student presenters who summarized events the council supported this year: a community Splash Bash with reusable water balloons, a Spooktacular booth with prize wheel games, Winterfest with hot chocolate and a tree-chain activity, an outdoor movie night, a teen memorial lantern event on the lake, Fiesta Sahuarita activities, and a mural project to be hung in the new community center.
Student officers said events emphasized family participation and that future goals include increasing teen engagement with town departments (police, fire) and broadening recruitment. Prouty and Simmons reported the application period recently closed with 10 unique applicants; staff said they will evaluate applicants and expect to continue sending representatives to the annual league meeting.
Councilmembers praised the teens’ work and encouraged continued engagement; no formal action was required.
