Kiski Area SD yearbook students win state and national awards; Key Club and spring events highlighted
Summary
A student presenter told the board the high-school yearbook won multiple national and state awards (including national photo and sports-spread recognition); Key Club logged 11,468 volunteer hours and the district highlighted upcoming concerts and senior recognitions.
The board heard a presentation from a student yearbook representative who outlined awards and student activities. The presenter said the yearbook won several national awards — including a first-place national baseball photo and a sports spread award — and multiple state honors in photography, caption writing and literary magazine work. Walsworth, the district's yearbook publisher, awarded a Keystone distinction that will send the book to other schools as an exemplar.
The presenter named several student contributors (for example, Sarah Poore, Sam Ray, Samantha Mattson, Evelyn Keenan and Henry Johnson) and said the yearbook's opening and closing spreads and a student-drawn cavalier logo were also recognized. The Key Club was reported to have logged 11,468 volunteer hours this school year with 222 members and had participated in the state Youth Day of Caring on April 17.
Administrators and board members congratulated the students and highlighted upcoming events: the final chorus concert on May 14 (featuring a "Through the Decades" performance) and a jazz program on May 21 that will include elementary through high-school ensembles. The presenter introduced the junior president for next year, Bella Cordoni, who greeted the board.
The presentation drew brief board questions about contest entry procedures; the presenter explained that some contests require portfolios or travel to regional/state competitions via PSPA/PSPA‑affiliated events and that entries are evaluated at the state and national levels.
The board offered unanimous congratulations to the yearbook staff and students.
