Board praises middle-school scholar-athletes and volunteer coaches
Summary
Trustees recognized 6th–8th grade boys basketball and cross-country teams for strong seasons, thanked volunteer coaches by name, and encouraged continued student participation in athletics and extracurriculars.
Trustees opened the meeting by recognizing recent accomplishments by middle-school student-athletes and thanking volunteer coaches. A board member singled out the 6th-, 7th- and 8th-grade boys basketball teams for deep postseason runs and praised cross-country runners for top finishes, noting the participation of some younger students on older teams to fill rosters.
“Coach Taylor, coach Eddie, coach Mike who are all here. So they were wonderful,” said Trustee C, thanking coaches for their work. The board highlighted that a mix of 5th and 6th graders helped the 6th-grade team reach the tournament finals and noted the 5th-/6th-grade cross-country squad secured first place in the league. Trustees said encouraging sports participation supports time-management skills and can open scholarship opportunities.
