Student council fundraising nears goal for local child; wrestling club thanks board after 400-entry tournament
Summary
Student council reported $3,500 raised toward a $5,000 goal to support a local pre-K student and detailed upcoming events; Jason Maris of the Hampton Wrestling Club thanked the board for backing a 400-entry tournament and discussed potential equipment purchases.
The student representative reported student council activities and fundraising: a volleyball tournament raised $745 for St. Baldrick's, and the student council has raised about $3,500 toward a $5,000 goal to support a local pre-K student, Eli Snargillie. The council plans fundraising through March 27 and the speaker said he expected to reach the goal ahead of the next board meeting.
During public comment Jason Maris of 317 Bellevue Avenue, speaking as president of the Hampton Wrestling Club, thanked the board for its support of the club and described the success of the club's first annual tournament, which drew about 400 entrants from South Jersey and Pennsylvania. Maris said the club is in talks to help the high school purchase a new wrestling mat and scales.
A brief exchange followed about the age range for the club: Maris said the program starts as young as 5 and includes middle-school aged wrestlers up to roughly 13—14 years old.
The remarks were public comment; the transcript shows gratitude and discussion but no formal board action recorded in this meeting.
