Summary
The board heard recognition remarks for Cynthia Harris (Rucker Boulevard sixth-grade student of the month), teacher Connie Macon and support staff Allison Hussey; Hillcrest music teacher Sarah McClendon thanked the board for funding drums and training. The meeting included construction and athletics updates and adjourned.
John Steed of Rucker Boulevard Elementary presented the school’s student- and staff-of-the-month recognitions at the Oct. 28 Enterprise City Board of Education meeting.
He introduced Cynthia Harris, a sixth-grade student, and read teacher comments praising her leadership, listening skills and respect for others: "She is the the epitome of what it means to be a leader," Steed said. Steed also recognized Connie Macon, identified in the packet as the school's math specialist, and Allison Hussey, a secretarial bookkeeper, noting Macon’s experience and Hussey’s work with students and school finances.
Later in the meeting Dr. Thomas introduced Hillcrest music teacher Sarah McClendon and her choir students for a short presentation. McClendon thanked the board for purchasing new drums and investing in professional training, saying the support "has had a tremendous impact on our learning." Board members applauded the students and staff.
The meeting also included updates on athletic schedules and construction—Dr. Thomas said the indoor facility is delayed by a fire‑rated door and turf installation is pending—and closed with a reminder of the next board meeting on Nov. 18 at 5 p.m.
Why it matters: public recognition highlights student achievement and staff contributions and can boost community support for school programs. The music program’s equipment and training funding was noted as a tangible example of board investment in arts education.
Next steps: No further formal actions were requested for the recognitions; construction projects and state report-card data will be tracked administratively.
