Summary
During the 'principal meaningful minute,' school leaders summarized the one‑school/one‑book initiative (Gooseberry Park), upcoming parent‑teacher conferences and book fair, a career exploration day for eighth graders, band and DECA successes, and various student awards and competitions.
School leaders used the 'principal meaningful minute' to share a range of announcements and student achievements.
Speakers described the district’s one‑school/one‑book program; the selected title is Gooseberry Park by Cynthia Weiland and staff encouraged families (including incoming kindergarten families) to participate in book events and a book fair. Schools are scheduling parent‑teacher conferences and preview events for incoming kindergarteners (one date mentioned: May 6).
District staff highlighted a recent band festival and an upcoming visit from clinician Julian Blitz, described middle‑school Hope Squad activities (a community walk to promote mental health), and noted that middle‑school sports are wrapping up with spring sports beginning later in March. A career exploration day for eighth graders placed students on location visits to experience different careers.
Several student achievements were listed: Dylan Bailey earned the state star award in FFA; DECA competitors from the district won finalist medals; the chess team hosted a conference tournament; wrestling qualifiers were recognized for academic All‑State honors; and robotics and esports programs are active. Staff encouraged the community to follow district social channels for videos and flyers.
The principals closed the segment by thanking families and volunteers and noting upcoming events and spirit weeks.
The board proceeded to superintendent comments after this segment.
