Board communications.
Sieren - Congratulations for the $60,000 for CTE. It’s been fun going to the Christmas concerts.
Kendell - The high school concert on Sunday afternoon. Monday there is a jazz concert at ES. Bel Canto was last weekend. The Players Workshop presentation was very good. A lot of kids in the production from all over the area. Lions Club peace poster from ES has made it to the State level of competition. Concerned about BEA bringing something during public comment and not agenda item. He couldn’t ask questions about it. Merry Christmas.
Hoelzen - She went to the friend feast at Aldo and was amazed how many children fit on one floor. Kids were well behaved. She is going to the Player’s Workshop production.
Kendell - added to his statement and had some stickers and handouts about mental health brochures that he gave to Coen.
McVey - Bring the BEA item to an agenda item. She went to the Black Hawk Concert and enjoyed it but it was during the day which is inconvenient for parents. She suggested using Aldo or ES auditorium. Merry Christmas.
Hatteberg - She referenced the donations that the community has given over $100,000 thus far this year. She thanked the community. She had personal example of teachers working all the time. Her granddaughter emailed her teacher about a homework question and her teacher responded in less than an hour on a Sunday.
Vickstrom - He hopes mental health for students continues to be important. Vickstrom highlighted the STEM steering committee work.
