Summary
Students from Wenatchee High’s floral program, Westside High ASB and Orchard Middle School presented projects, events and leadership activities during School Board Appreciation Night, highlighting hands-on CTE experiences, fundraising and inclusive student leadership.
The Wenatchee School District invited students and staff to present during School Board Appreciation Night on Jan. 27.
Wenatchee High floral instructor Hannah Scheider introduced advanced floral and horticulture programs and said students gain hands-on experience and raise funds through plant sales. Student Trenton described practical benefits: "These classes have given me the experience... I haven't gotten in middle school or even at another high school prior to Wenatchee High School." Another student, Noel, said the programs combine creativity with ecosystem learning and community projects.
Westside High ASB vice president Gwen Costello outlined an upcoming "Skills for Life" wellness day on Feb. 11 (covering car maintenance, basic first aid, fire safety and preparedness), a Feb. 10 field trip to Perry Technical Institute, and student fundraisers and events including a DECA competition and Pantherpalooza.
Orchard Middle School’s ASB officers (seventh and eighth graders) described efforts to make Spirit Weeks more inclusive, plans for interactive assemblies, sixth‑grade orientation activities, food-basket drives for families in need and a talent show on March 4. ASB advisor Maddie Atwood said the district is creating more opportunities for student voice and leadership.
Board members thanked students and staff for the presentations and recognized the contributions of school and community partners.
