Superintendent highlights student events; trustees praise Reading Buddies program
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Hall previewed several upcoming school events and trustees highlighted a Reading Buddies volunteer program at Pendleton Elementary and other schools, encouraging board and community participation.
Superintendent Dr. Hall told trustees the district has several community events scheduled for the next day, including a middle‑school "Builder Your Future" day with career and trade demonstrations, a Maple Ridge cardboard-box race called the "Kendi 500" (approximately 2 p.m.) and a color run at Pendleton Elementary. Dr. Hall said the middle‑school event will include a partnership with Franklin and warned parking will be limited.
During communications, trustees praised a Reading Buddies program (identified on the record as run by Chris — the transcript contains both 'Chris Wolfson' and 'Chris Wilson' spellings) that places adult volunteers with first graders for weekly half‑hour reading sessions. Trustees said the program offers board members valuable classroom exposure and encouraged community volunteers to sign up.
No public patrons signed up to speak at the meeting. The meeting proceeded through routine business and adjourned after trustees approved the listed agenda actions.
