Board acknowledges donations and student and staff recognitions
Summary
The board recognized student honorees and staff awards and recorded several donations including an anonymous $9,700 Buysse Memorial Fund gift and Athletic Backers contributions totaling $8,743.63.
During the Jan. 26 meeting the board highlighted "Cyclone Spotlight on Character" honorees (character focus: positive attitude) and congratulated staff and student milestones: Jackie Wilson received a South Central Service Cooperative Employee Recognition Award; Brooklyn Meng scored her 1,000th career point and Brooklin Hinze set a single-game girls basketball record with 41 points.
The district reported monetary donations and in-kind gifts: an anonymous donation of $9,700 to the Buysse Memorial Fund; Athletic Backers donated $8,743.63 for athletic equipment and supplies (volleyball warm-ups, golf launch monitor, basketball locker cart, cross-country t-shirts); Blue Earth County Farm Bureau donated $550 for FFA Farm Safety Camp; St. Clair American Legion and St. Clair Fire Dept. donated funds for a portable sound system and Biology Club support. Media center book donations were also recorded and 2,281 (minutes show both 2,404 and 2,281 in places) books were re‑homed via the Island of Misfit Books program.
The minutes list donor names (Thomas Chalupnik, Amanda Kraus) and item values; however, the text contains two slightly different tallies for the Island of Misfit Books (2,404 books re-homed earlier in the minutes and 2,281 noted under the elementary principal's report). The minutes do not reconcile that discrepancy at the meeting.
