5. Principal & Athletic Director Reports
Discussion:
Elementary Report - March Mrs. Harrison shared exciting updates for March. The school celebrated SRO Appreciation, honoring our amazing School Resource Officer. We also expressed gratitude to our Bus Drivers with letters, posters, and a special gift for each. Our students created a Kindness Basket for Senior Citizens, filled with handmade cards. First graders enjoyed Chinese New Year with crafts and various Chinese foods. We participated in Read Across America, and Coach Oliver's students read to our elementary students. Ninnekah Elementary School's attendance has significantly improved since the start of the year, and the ineligible student list is down to just one. Kudos to our amazing elementary teachers! Secondary Report - March Miss Cramer presented the Secondary Report for March. Students explored geography, states, and capitals, and learned about musical time periods. STEAM students completed a STEM Career slideshow, while Farm to Table projects involved researching and presenting on crops or animals. Computer class students learned graphic design through Google Slides, focusing on careers from OKCollegeStart. A student represented us at the Capital for the National Technical Honor Society through CVTC, meeting with State Legislators. Spanish/ELL testing was completed smoothly. YAHL sent a student to the state YAHO Leadership Teams to discuss student health and tobacco advocacy with Legislators. Cheerleading tryouts for junior high and high school were a success, and the cheerleaders are doing a fantastic job! Athletic Report - March Coach Pulliam provided the Athletic Report for March. The junior high basketball team wrapped up an exciting season and is now moving on to spring sports like track and baseball. Softball is off to a great start with high participation. Powerlifting is also thriving, having just completed Regionals. The Athletic Directors are grateful for the community's support for our student athletes! |

6. Superintendent Report
Discussion:
Certainly! Here's a polished version of the text: Mrs. Jones presented the Superintendent's report for March. She provided each Board Member with documentation on their current Board Points. For those needing additional points, Mrs. Williams will arrange the necessary training. Legislators are considering funding education through a cost-of-living increase. We will continue monitoring this, along with discussions about extending the school year and increasing PE time. No final bills have been passed yet on these matters. We will make up the snow days from January in April and May. The send-off by schools and the community for OYE was fantastic! The carpet squares for the new gym are finalized, and the scoreboard will be delivered this coming week. The fire marshal will also inspect the final walkthrough. The Feed the Kids (3rd Meal) program has been paused. The old gym is getting a fresh coat of paint to brighten it up. |
