Summary

Student representatives told the board about recent winter concerts, alumni day and a lip sync activity, and promoted Mini Thon scheduled for Feb. 27 with community partners including coach Phil Martelli.

Student representatives used the Jan. 27 meeting to report recent and upcoming student activities and fundraisers. They described a winter wonderland brunch fundraiser on Dec. 13, performances by choir and band around Dec. 18, an alumni day where seniors heard from recent graduates and a junior ring ceremony on Jan. 8.

Students described a lip sync competition hosted by student council as 'very fun, and it was also very successful,' and announced that the Student Council is launching a freshman-sophomore formal and preparing for Mini Thon on Feb. 27 from 3 to 10 p.m. The students said Phil Martelli has been helpful in connecting student groups with community opportunities and praised their advisor, Miss Cipollone, for coordinating outreach.

The board asked a clarifying question about Phil Martelli’s participation; students confirmed his involvement in outreach and promotional activities. No board action was tied to the student reports; the segment provided informational updates and event promotion.
