5. STUDENT PRESENTATION
Description:
Members of Mrs. Miller's 5th-grade class will present the "Oh, the Places You Will Go" Reading Challenge.
Mrs. Miller's Stedman Student Council decided to bring back our school tradition of a Dr. Seuss Reading Challenge. All students K-5 participated in the challenge to read every night for the entire month of February. They kicked off the "Oh the Places You'll Go" Reading Challenge with a surprise movie trailer to hook students into reading:  Oh The Places You’ll Go READING CHALLENGE.mp4After the video, the Student Council dressed up in costumes (Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, Thing 2, Thing 3, etc...) and visited classrooms to deliver reading packets, bookmarks, reading logs, Seuss punch cards and personal thermometers to track individual progress. Overall, the reading challenge was a huge success! They received positive feedback from teachers, parents and students saying it reenergized their love for books! The Reading Challenge tied in perfectly with Mrs. Conn's literacy night where students spent an evening listening to high school students read aloud Dr. Seuss books, constructed paper hats, ate dinner (prepared by Chef Carlee) and took home a book. Reading is a priority at Stedman Elementary and we intend to keep finding ways to instill a lifelong love for reading. |

11. CONSENT AGENDA
Description:
A consent agenda is a practice by which regular and non-controversial board action items are organized apart from the rest of the agenda and approved as a group. This includes all of the business items that require formal board approval and yet because they are not controversial, there is no need for board discussion before taking a vote. Items may be on the consent agenda only if all board members agree. Any board member, for any reason, may remove a consent agenda item and place it on the regular agenda for the board meeting.
Recommended Motion(s):
Approve Consent Agenda. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
