Teachers and students spotlight fundraising, Black History Month and community service at Moorestown board meeting

Students and teachers used the meeting's public comment segments to report school activities and community service. Eliana Troy McBride, a class liaison, described a Morrison/ Mo(o)restown High School fundraiser for Covenant House including a sleep-out event at Holman Automotive on March 27–28, collection drives by grade and a student-organized bake sale. "We are looking forward to hopefully raising a lot of money for the Covenant House and being able to support those who are in need in the surrounding communities," Eliana said.

Angelo Bujati, senior class liaison, summarized Black History Month initiatives at Moorestown High School, including an interview with Mayor Quentin Law, a screening of Hidden Figures, a Harriet Tubman reenactment and a guest speaker appearance by former NFL player Fred Baxter. Several teachers followed during the second public comment period, thanking colleagues and describing school events: Jill Ludwig praised staff for running a Model UN and Valentine's activities; Andrew Forche reported a food drive that collected hundreds of items and the school's 100th-day celebrations; other teachers described concerts, classroom projects tied to Black History Month and upcoming field trips and competitions.

A public commenter during the first public-comment period also thanked the board for recognizing Lunar New Year and urged continued recognition of other faith observances such as Ash Wednesday and Ramadan. Board members acknowledged teachers' reports and thanked volunteers and Home and School associations for their support.

The public comments consisted primarily of informational updates and expressions of gratitude; no formal board action was taken on the events described.
