Ledge View students present wellness-day plans; board to accept library donations
Summary
Students from Ledge View Elementary described last year's wellness day activities and plans for May; the board announced it will accept more than $2,000 in donated library books later in the meeting.
Students from Ledge View Elementary brought the board updates and plans for an annual "wellness day," presenting five stations used last year and ideas for improvement.
Student council leaders Holly Schroeder and Lauren Greco described classroom lessons on emotions (coloring activities and a feeling thermometer), deep‑breathing exercises and age‑tailored strategies. Student presenters demonstrated the calming‑tool station (calming bottles made from recycled containers), a yoga station (students recommended moving yoga into the gym to reduce outdoor distractions), team‑building games and an outdoor walk that provided fresh air but posed attention challenges for older students.
Students proposed next-year changes including a Google Slides classroom presentation, indoor gym yoga, scented Play‑Doh for sensory work, and team activities such as LEGO building and scavenger hunts. The board applauded the students and thanked teachers and volunteers involved in the program.
Later in the meeting, the board accepted more than $2,000 in donated library books assembled through the school media specialist's TikTok wish list and community donors. Melissa, the school's media specialist, told trustees the "tiny fairy door" initiative encouraged students to write notes requesting books and that community donations exceeded $2,000 in recent months.
Chair said the board would accept the donations during the consent vote so presenters would know how the books would be used.
