Student Council and PFK report: holiday events, Rivermen trip and fundraising success
Summary
Student Council President Olivia Myers reported on Winter Wonderland, Spirit Week and Deck the Halls; PFK reported a $9,700 profit from the Chili Supper and announced the Santa Shop; staff thanked community partners for arranging charter buses to a Rivermen event.
Student Council President Olivia Myers told the board about a successful Winter Wonderland junior high dance, the launch of Spirit Week, and the annual Deck the Halls activity. The board heard appreciation from Mrs. Thompson and Dr. Gordon for Rachel Lamberson, Nick Beard, and the Peoria Chiefs and Peoria Rivermen (including a donation that covered most charter-bus costs) that enabled students to attend a Rivermen event.
Gina Perry, identified as PFK president, reported the organization’s 2025 Chili Supper netted $9,700 and said the Santa Shop initiative was ready to begin. Principal and Athletic Director Nick Beard added operational items, including a holiday dinner attended by 145 paid participants, updated rehearsal scheduling for a postponed holiday concert, and athletic team records: the 7th-grade girls finished 18-4 and the 8th-grade girls finished 14-6.
Why it matters: student activities and parent-fundraising efforts support extracurricular programming and offset costs for travel and events.
