Students lauded for state‑level successes; student government to bid to host ASSAG
Summary
Board members heard reports on student achievements—state competition finalists, sportsmanship awards and scholarships—were told of plans for a student government bid to host ASSAG, and discussed student support after a recent bereavement and new extracurricular offerings including a running club.
Trustees heard a string of student and activities reports highlighting competitive and curricular successes and plans for upcoming events.
A student government representative (speaker 6) said students plan to present a bid at the April 24–25 spring conference to host ASSAG next year. In activity updates, athletic and activity directors reported that multiple teams and students achieved state recognition: three teams received sportsmanship awards at the state level and several students made all‑tournament or all‑academic teams. Principal‑level staff noted that one student’s recent death had required a coordinated counseling and support response from staff and administrators; one school leader said, “Our kids are truly loved and cared about.”
Dylan Stem (speaker 10) summarized upcoming travel and events: an April trip to Ketchikan for 8th‑grade activities, participation at the Thorn Bay tournament in mid‑April, and a music festival April 8–10 in Ketchikan. He also announced the district will host the Region 5 AD meeting in April and asked for community support for hospitality and food donations.
Teachers and staff outlined extracurricular initiatives: a running club for middle‑school students to build cross‑grade interaction, and discussions about how to preserve an 8th‑grade survival experience without compromising required curricular time and assessment preparation. The board discussed converting the survival experience into an elective or partnering with community members to preserve instructional integrity while providing the experiential trip.
Other items: mock trial for 7th grade was announced and the district noted plans for FBI‑led child internet safety training in April and an MOA with MIC to provide a resource officer; PeaceHealth nurses were cited as potential community presenters to bring real‑world healthcare perspectives to students.
The board invited community attendance at upcoming concerts and showcases and agreed to schedule a work session to continue discussion on logistics and program planning.
