Fourth‑grade 'wax museum' and Parkview fundraiser highlight board meeting
Summary
Fourth‑grade students presented first‑person biographies at a district 'wax museum'; Parkview students raised $6,464.65 for Kelsey's Hope Foundation's Socket to Cancer fundraiser. The board praised student work and previewed an August ribbon cutting for the administrative offices.
During the building report the board heard a sequence of student presentations as part of a fourth‑grade "wax museum." Students took first‑person roles — examples included presentations as Princess Diana, Neil Armstrong and Martin Luther King Jr. — and were later identified by class.
One fourth‑grader performing as Princess Diana closed her short presentation by telling the audience, "I hope I taught you to be kind and to help others." The board praised the students’ preparation and noted the wax museum is a yearlong project tied to common‑core writing and speaking standards.
Administrators also reported Parkview students and families collected $6,464.65 in five days for Kelsey's Hope Foundation’s Socket to Cancer campaign; a representative said Parkview now ranks among the top fundraisers in the campaign’s history.
The board closed the meeting with construction and facilities updates and said it hopes to hold a ribbon cutting and open house for the new administrative entrance in early August, before school begins.
