Student board representatives highlight mental-health programming, wellness events and senior honors
Summary
Student board members reported on Hope Squad guest programming, community partnerships and stress-relief activities, celebrated student successes in athletics and robotics, and the board honored departing student representative Anna before the class of 2026 senior recognitions.
Student representatives opened the meeting with a summary of recent wellbeing and career-preparation activities. The Hope Squad hosted a guest speaker from WellPoint Care Network to talk about supporting peers’ mental health, students said, and the district ran stress-relief events after Advanced Placement testing that included animal-assisted activities described by a student as “goat, bunnies, a dog and a couple of cats.”
The students also reported that the Global Business Insight course partnered with Mathnasium and local nonprofits such as Journey 21 for marketing and fundraising projects, and hosted fundraising events including a DocHounds fundraiser on May 15. Brian Sniff, the high school principal (introduced at the meeting), presented the class of 2026 valedictorian and salutatorian and invited them to share reflections: one student advised underclassmen to “get involved” through clubs and sports as a way to build relationships, while another said qualifying for the robotics world championship was a career highlight.
The board took time to honor Anna, the departing student representative, noting her scholarship and public-service commitments. Board President (chair) praised her service and asked about her plans; Anna said she plans to attend the University of Wisconsin–Madison and will major in legal studies. The board thanked the student representatives for their report and recognized a range of student achievements before moving on to business-agenda items.
