Student body president outlines assemblies, staff appreciation and spring carnival plans
Summary
Natalie Fry, student body president, told the board YCIS held a service project (1,500 bags), successful assemblies, submitted applications for national/state student-council recognition, and is planning a school carnival and a workshop at a student-conference.
"My name is Natalie Fry, and I'm the student body president," Natalie told the board as she summarized recent student-led activities at YCIS. She described a service trip where students bagged 1,500 food packets, a highly-participated St. Patrick’s Day assembly with an Irish-figure competition, and classified-staff appreciation events including lunches and a gift exchange organized by PTO volunteers.
Natalie said the leadership group submitted applications for recognition by the National Gold Council and the Oregon Association of Student Councils; she noted the district will learn results after the spring conference. She also described plans for Tiger Palooza, the end-of-year carnival set for April 11, and said the student team will teach a workshop at the spring conference on growing leadership programs at smaller schools. "When we presented it at the fall conference, people said it was one of the best workshops they'd seen," she said.
Board members asked questions about logistics for events and expressed appreciation for student initiatives. The report also noted preparations for state testing and supports (print-on-demand for students) and ongoing MTSS work on reducing tardiness and increasing classroom engagement.
