Student-voice presenters reviewed recent school events and achievements; the board heard winter athletics accomplishments, announced new spring teams (boys volleyball, ninth-grade baseball), and recognized two teachers for regional excellence awards.
At the Feb. 18 Interboro School District meeting student representatives and school staff presented a summary of recent student activities and achievements, and board members highlighted athletics success and teacher awards.
Student-voice remarks and school reports covered PBIS efforts, a Franklin Institute field trip for third graders, a Title I reading night, a VIP dance, a middle-school spelling bee with winners advancing to the county bee, and student recognition in a math program. The high school hosted a junior-achievement networking event and the district's art exhibition participation was noted.
In athletics, the board heard that boys basketball recorded the program's best season in more than a decade; wrestling won the DelVal championship for the fourth consecutive year and several wrestlers reached milestone win totals; girls swimming and diving claimed DelVal titles and multiple athletes qualified for district championships. The district will add boys volleyball and a ninth-grade baseball team for the spring season; flag football is now a sanctioned sport.
The board also recognized two recipients of the Franklin Mint Delaware Valley Excellence in Teaching awards — Christine Rodino (library/STEM teacher at the kindergarten academy) and Renee Carey (science teacher at Ann Arbor High School) — each to receive $1,000 for classroom materials plus an additional $1,000 for their schools. The board congratulated students and staff and closed the report with routine scheduling announcements.
