Student advisor Kaitlyn King delivered a report on Nov. 20 to the Crawford County R-1 Board of Education regarding the state of the district from the students’ perspective.
King discussed the status of the elementary, middle and high schools with the board.
The elementary school had Halloween parties, and there was a “kinderfeast” where the kindergarteners got to eat with their families.
Middle school students were able to attend a STEM Day at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) in Rolla.
“At STEM Day, students were able to learn more about the programs there and were also a part of the interactive stations they had,” said King.
The Pep Club was very involved in the middle school boys and girls basketball programs.
“I think the pep club was a great addition to the school this year,” said King. “Just really building up that spirit from the young ages.”
Many high school seniors have been going out into the community and gaining practical experience through job shadowing.
“The local businesses they’ve been going to have spoken very highly of our students,” said King.
Approximately 32 juniors and seniors attended the Operating Engineers of 513, where they learned about the apprenticeship program, took a tour and were able to operate machinery.
King sent out a questionnaire about holiday-related things and how the students’ school year has gone. He also asked about students’ favorite class. A survey surrounding individuals' Thanksgiving food preferences had rolls and mashed potatoes tied for first place as the students’ favorite Thanksgiving food.
“What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food?” asked King.
“I would have to say, my mother-in-law’s rolls,” said Jason Gobin.
The majority of students, which was 37.5 percent with 22 responses, said with a 3 out of 5.
“Not too good, not too bad, just medium,” said King.
Ag was the top class favorite for students in the district and ranged from Ag 1, Ag 2 and the greenhouse class.
“I had a wide variety of classes on there, which I thought was great, because it just shows we have a lot of opportunities and classes for our students and the high school,” said King.
