School board honors employees, reads donor gifts including substantial scholarship totals
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Stanwood-Camano School District board recognized classified and certificated employees of the year, read several donor gifts to support student travel and programs and said staff-distributed scholarships totaled roughly $352,000 this spring.
The Stanwood-Camano School District board on June 2 recognized classified and certificated employees and read a list of donations to support student travel and school programs.
Superintendent Dr. Elvin introduced and thanked classified employees Lauren Titarian, April Nickerson and Heather Stensa as “classified employees of the year,” and invited certificated employee Jonathan Bletcher, credited with strong student engagement in the district’s band program, to be recognized as certificated employee of the year. “We believe wholeheartedly that bus drivers are the first to see and the last to say goodbye to students,” Dr. Elvin said, praising classified staff who support daily operations.
During the superintendent’s report the board secretary read gifts presented to the district: multiple $1,000 donations from local business and community groups to support FBLA student travel, smaller transportation gifts for elementary field trips, and a larger gift listed in the transcript from the Stanwood Camino Area Foundation (the transcript shows a figure recorded as "$16,532.119"); the district’s published records should be consulted to confirm the exact amount. Dr. Elvin also said staff distributed roughly $352,000 in scholarships to seniors and more than $50,000 in teacher grants this spring.
A brief photo opportunity followed the recognitions, and the honored employees were excused to return to work.
