Montani Elementary students present service projects, equipment guidance and upcoming talent show
Summary
Students from Montani Elementary described student-council fundraising that bought new recess equipment and donated $400 to Isaiah 117 House; they presented a short video about caring for equipment and announced a May 8 talent show.
Teachers Casey Hansuwit and Haley Melvin introduced Montani Elementary student council representatives who described the group's service and school-spirit activities.
Students said they fundraised with candy-gram sales and split proceeds between a community donation and school projects; they donated $400 to the Isaiah 117 House and used part of the funds to buy new recess equipment after many balls and items wore out. To encourage care of the equipment, students produced a short video reminding classmates to return equipment to its proper place and to see the office for a pumped ball.
Student council members also described a Christmas dinner project that provided meal kits and gift cards to qualifying families and participation in the Lafayette Christmas parade. They announced a school talent show scheduled for May 8, during which student council members will serve as stage crew.
Board members and meeting hosts praised the students’ presentation. No formal action was taken; the presentation took place at the start of the meeting as a community highlight.
