Summary
In a "Spotlight on Pike," the district announced student honors and an upcoming community event with free immunizations, sports physicals, a DJ, and 1,000 backpacks; staff and donors were thanked for contributions to school programs.
At the July 9 meeting, Sarah Dorsey highlighted recent student recognitions and community partnerships and promoted a district community day set for the coming Saturday.
Dorsey told the board that Lance McMillan was selected for an Education Matters scholarship from the Indianapolis Urban League and that several Pike High students had been invited to a Broadway-related event; two students were invited to a master class the following day. She also announced a community event co-hosted with OrthoIndy YMCA and former Pike High standout Mike Jarrell that will offer free football drills, a DJ, bounce houses, free immunizations, sports physicals and free lunch. Dorsey said organizers planned to give away 1,000 backpacks of school supplies and asked families to pre-register via ParentSquare or district channels.
