Students propose May club fair to support Seal of Civic Readiness
Summary
Two students proposed a May 8 club fair to increase extracurricular participation and support the Seal of Civic Readiness; presenters cited participation rates for Jr./Sr. High and 9–12 students and asked that NHS eventually coordinate the event.
Two students, identified in the minutes as Miss Lloyd and Miss Thering, presented a plan to hold an extracurricular club fair on May 8 to support the district’s Seal of Civic Readiness efforts and boost student participation.
"Their goal was to hold an extracurricular/club fair for grades 6 – 11 to inform and educate the students of the opportunities available to them at school," the minutes record, and the presenters provided participation data showing 55.9% of Jr./Sr. High students and 50.5% of grades 9–12 currently involved in clubs. They reviewed which clubs would be invited, participation by grade and total counts, and a timeline to prepare the fair. The students said they hoped National Honor Society would take over coordination in future years.
President R. Atwater commended the presenters for their work and said it was a "great concept," and the board expressed support for increasing exposure to extracurricular opportunities. The proposal will move forward with administrative coordination to meet the proposed May 8 date.
