$9,000 Rotary donation to support homeless students; ASB and FFA report strong engagement
Summary
Superintendent Jordan Reeves announced a $9,000 donation from the Marysville Rotary Club for the district's Homeless Student program and student leaders from Lindhurst, Charter Academy for the Arts and Marysville High gave ASB reports on homecoming, activities and rising FFA membership.
Superintendent Jordan Reeves announced at the Oct. 14 meeting that the Marysville Rotary Club, represented by President Joe Hendricks, awarded a $9,000 donation to the district's Homeless Student program.
"The Rotary Club came through with a big donation to our district," Superintendent Jordan Reeves said, noting the gift was intended to support Amanda Books' (as read in the transcript) program for homeless students. Reeves said the donation will "certainly impact a number of students in a positive manner."
The meeting also featured multiple student ASB reports. Evelyn Kutzer, Lindhurst ASB president, described homecoming week activities (theme: "A Night at Hogwarts"), a Pink Out football theme for senior night and a notable increase in FFA membership to about 360 students, which she said is nearly 200 more than last October. Kutzer highlighted student events including a Halloween festival and club-run activities.
Anjali, ASB secretary at Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts, summarized recent arts programming (Dragon Fest) and announced a Fall Blood Drive on Oct. 24. Joseph Charles, ASB president at Marysville High School, recapped FFA fundraising (a Tri-tip dinner that sold over 260 meals) and increased club participation across campus.
Angela Stiegel, president of the Marysville Unified Teachers Association, praised student participation and public speaking: "I especially appreciate the fact that we have students up here and do this," she said, encouraging continued student involvement in public forums.
Reeves also recapped an Oct. 8 student leadership event with roughly 30 students and district cabinet members and congratulated two teachers, Constance Franklin (Johnson Park) and Joshua Furtado (Lindhurst), who were to be recognized at a UC Davis educator awards conference.
The district did not provide more detailed budgetary breakdowns for the Rotary donation in the meeting record, and the transcript uses the name "Amanda Books" as the program recipient; the district's written materials should be consulted for confirmation of spelling and precise allocation.
