Rockport praises 'In The Loop' newsletter; school receives music and DECA support
Summary
The district’s new 'In The Loop' newsletter drew praise from residents; the committee acknowledged donations including a Roland digital piano, monetary support for DECA, and an anonymous donor who paid $276 in student meal debt.
Superintendent Mark Bridal and committee members highlighted positive community feedback on the district’s first 'In The Loop' newsletter and described plans for future editions and complementary postcards to promote school events.
Bridal read excerpts from emails expressing appreciation (a long-time resident and a Rockport grandmother), noted the newsletter’s student and teacher spotlights and thanked local advertisers and staff contributors who helped produce the issue. The committee also acknowledged donations: Barbara Sparks donated a Roland digital piano to the music department; Rockport Rotary gave $250 and Bracketts Restaurant contributed $350 to support DECA; an anonymous donor paid $276 in outstanding lunch and breakfast balances. A public commenter, Amy Hooper (resident), also mentioned the NHS blood drive on March 20 and urged community participation.
Committee members praised the communications work and staff who supported production; central office will prepare the next edition and consider postcards for event promotion.
