Trustees highlight band, PTA volunteer growth, Watchdogs return and levy outreach
Summary
Board members used the meeting's "good of the order" time to praise the band, note Belfair Elementary's expanding PTA volunteer base, welcome the return of the Watchdogs program, flag recent health and safety concerns, and describe student-led levy outreach efforts.
Board members used the meeting's "good of the order" session to share local updates and community news. Director Youngberg and others praised recent athletic and band performances, and board members welcomed the return of the Watchdogs volunteer program at elementary schools.
A director highlighted positive feedback from parents about wrestling and spring sports attendance and suggested athletes attend band events in mutual support. A student board representative said Belfair Elementary's PTA is expanding its volunteer base and that the National Honor Society will organize events and social-media outreach to raise awareness about the district levy. A participant noted that social-media work (credited to "Jackie" and others) has helped highlight staff and student activities.
Trustees also acknowledged local public-health impacts, with one director noting families affected by a severe flu that led to pneumonia. The board thanked Belfair staff and the Mason County Sheriff for their response to recent incidents on campus where hunting gunfire had caused concern; officials said the situations were not serious but justified caution.
Members announced several upcoming community events, including a West Town Tech phase-one celebration, a Band Booster spaghetti dinner and a Sand Hill glow dance and dessert auction. The board concluded with a self-assessment of meeting behavior (rated "satisfactory") and confirmed the March 9 study session and March 23 regular meeting.
