Board accepts two Scotland Elementary PTA gifts to fund author visit and live‑animal enrichment
Summary
The Ridgefield Board of Education unanimously accepted two gifts from the Scotland Elementary PTA: one listed in the record as $25,816 to fund an author visit (Julie Lung) with three student sessions and a morning‑show interview, and a second gift transcribed as "$2,70" for Curious Creatures in‑class animal programs for K, 1 and 4.
The Ridgefield Board of Education voted unanimously on May 11 to accept two gifts from the Scotland Elementary PTA.
The first gift, transcribed in the meeting record as "$25816," will fund an author visit by Julie Lung with three sessions tailored to different grade bands (K–2 and 3–5) and an interview for the students who produce the morning announcements. Miss Moore moved to accept the gift and members present voted in favor.
The second gift was described in the transcript as "$2,70" to support three in‑class enrichment sessions by Curious Creatures for kindergarten, first grade and fourth grade students, providing hands‑on experiences with live animals tied to the district’s integrated studies curriculum. The motion to accept that gift also passed unanimously.
Both gifts were presented with short descriptions of planned sessions and alignment to curriculum; board members asked no substantive questions and thanked the PTA for the contributions.
