Students and principals highlight successful drives, on‑track gains and new interventions
Summary
Student leaders and school principals reported successful Penny and food drives, improved on‑track rates at the high school, the introduction of a Kickstart math intervention with notable gains, and new parent engagement videos; several schools outlined upcoming events and family activities.
Student leaders and school administrators used the meeting to thank the board and highlight recent school activities and academic progress.
High school student presenters (Nicole and Mel Henderson) thanked the board for School Board Appreciation Month and described a successful Penny Drive and canned food drive that supplied two vanloads to the Winston Food Bank. The students credited sophomore class president Kim Lyman for local business outreach that helped the drives succeed.
Administrators reported on student on‑track metrics: freshmen 84%, sophomores 82% and juniors 93%, figures they described as a substantial improvement over prior years. At the elementary and middle levels, staff described a new math intervention, Kickstart, with 25 of 32 participating students gaining about one grade level, and noted parent engagement videos being posted to the district Facebook page to help families support student learning.
Principals reviewed a slate of upcoming events — benchmark testing, family dances, and fine‑dining etiquette for fifth graders — and thanked donors who contributed to athletic and scholarship programs.
