Events I have attended from August through October

The following are some of the events that I have been able to attend. We started out the year with our Back-to-School Breakfast. Our district office and school board prepped food, cooked food, and served food for the entire staff of our district. It is a great way to bring everyone together to start the new school year. I was also able to attend Back to School night at Schnell. The teachers did a wonderful job with their classrooms and presentations. It was wonderful to see a large turnout and the excitement of students, parents, and staff to start the new school year.

I attended several assemblies. I went to a Sami Circuit assembly at Schnell. The students and staff were excited about his visit. Everyone was actively involved with the various exercise stations he had set up. His message of encouragement to never give up is inspirational to us all. I attended a Sparky Assembly at Sierra school. Several students from each classroom were recognized for their academic achievements and positive social behavior. It was great to see the smiles of the students, parents, and staff as the awards were passed out.

Several of our board members and I participated in Walk to School Day. It was great to see multiple community organizations attending this event. We had a wonderful turnout of staff, students, and parents who walked groups of students to school from the downtown bus station. What fun!

A few other activities I participated in was a garden clean up, kindergarten buddies, parent club meetings, and a cross country meet at Schnell. The cross-country meet was well attended by a number of different schools. The help and support from staff and parents were amazing. Everyone had a great experience.
