Students report blood drive, sock drive and upcoming musical at Williams Bay School District meeting
Summary
Student representatives told the school board their blood drive fell short of its stated goal but had strong community turnout; the Spanish Club reported a 3,192-pair sock drive and local field trips; the district announced upcoming sports and a high-school musical next week.
At a Williams Bay School District meeting, student representatives and club leaders reported recent extracurricular activity highlights, including a blood drive, sports openings and a Spanish Club community service effort.
Two students, Lydia Anholtz and Lydia Olsen, and a student club leader told the board the recent high-school blood drive had a stated goal of 45 donations and recorded 39 donations; the report also referenced "10 double" donations as stated in the transcript. "We went above our goal," one student said during the report, reflecting community participation alongside student donors.
The students also reported athletics activity: girls' basketball held its first practice and has a scrimmage Saturday at 8 a.m., while boys' basketball will begin the following week and the bowling season is already underway. The high-school musical, Oliver Jr., is scheduled for next week, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. in the high-school gym, the students said.
Spanish Club leaders reported a Socktember drive that collected 3,192 pairs of socks, with the senior class contributing 2,680 pairs, and said the donations will go to families in need in Walworth County. The club described a field trip to the United Community Center in Milwaukee to learn about Dia de los Muertos, a bilingual story time with library staffer Emily Sanders, new club T-shirts designed by Jose Pilo and a babysitting fundraiser for the PTO.
Board members thanked the students for their presentations. No formal board action was reported during the student report portion of the meeting.
