Student council recognition and Eagle Scout project highlighted at meeting
Summary
Students were recognized for MCAS achievement; Eagle Scout candidate Kevin Burgess presented an outdoor renovation project and reported fundraising and volunteer support.
The committee spent part of its Oct. 29 meeting recognizing student academic achievements and hearing from an Eagle Scout candidate.
Student recognition: The interim superintendent and staff presented MCAS recognition awards to students across grades and subjects. Teachers and staff assisted with presentations and parent photo opportunities were arranged at the meeting.
Eagle Scout project: Kevin Burgess, an Eagle Scout candidate and senior patrol leader, described his project renovating a deck outside the lunchroom, repairing picnic tables and creating a garden area for outdoor lessons. He named several sponsors and said the effort involved 13 volunteers. He said the project raised $4,007.92 and that $500 will be held for ongoing maintenance of the area; the transcript contains a garbled figure for the exact total spent to complete the project and did not provide a clear final expenditure amount.
Why it matters: The recognition highlights student achievement and the Eagle Scout project provides a small capital improvement to school grounds and an example of student volunteerism.
Ending: The committee thanked students and volunteers and moved on to other agenda items.
