Athens students showcase History Club, Student Council and Odyssey of the Mind at board meeting
Summary
Members of Lynch Bussin Elementary’s History Club, Student Council and Odyssey of the Mind presented projects and upcoming competitions to the Athens Area SD board, describing fundraising plans, community service and a regional OM competition on Feb. 22.
Students from Lynch Bussin Elementary presented programs and projects during the public portion of the Athens Area SD regular board meeting.
Kenzie Gabriel, who identified herself as the founder of the fourth-grade History Club, told the board the club has completed coat-of-arms and historical-figure projects and is raising funds to visit local historic sites ("We have been starting our newest project," SEG 067). Student-council officers, including Piper Greer (vice president) and Juliet Roy (president), summarized activities such as fundraising, a homecoming parade and a National Kindness Day display. Treasurer Celia Bennett said the council coordinates donations for local food and animal shelters and is planning a donation-funded pavilion for the school (SEG 121–156).
Members of Odyssey of the Mind described how the program fosters teamwork and problem solving, and noted the district will send more than 60 students and 10 coaches to regional competition activity across Lynch and Roe; one regional event is scheduled Feb. 22 at Pocono Mountain West High School (SEG 179–211). The district said Odyssey teams are supported by grant-funded T-shirts and by administrators serving as judges at regional events.
The board thanked the students and their advisors and acknowledged the volunteers and staff who support after-school activities. The presentations concluded before the board moved on to committee reports.
