Summary
At the Wabash City Schools board meeting, teachers described student progress and awarded the Kathy Swan recognitions to children who showed notable social, emotional and academic growth this year.
Chair opened the meeting and introduced tonight's recognitions as the Kathy Swan Award. Teachers presented several students for the award, describing progress in communication, classroom participation and social growth.
A teacher praised a 4‑year‑old named Elliot, saying he ‘‘walks to my classroom every day with the biggest smile on his face’’ and has moved from limited communication to using two‑ to three‑word sentences and recognizing letters, colors and numbers. The teacher said that Elliot’s increased confidence and willingness to participate were ‘‘big accomplishments.’’
Another teacher described Harley (also referred to as Carly in the transcript) and said building trust allowed the student’s confidence and independence to grow; the teacher noted family support and singled out the student’s ‘‘kind, caring presence’’ in class.
The board acknowledged the awardees during the recognitions portion of the meeting and congratulated the students and their supporting staff. The segment concluded before the board moved on to revised business and the consent agenda.
