In a recent meeting of the Fitchburg School Committee, members gathered to discuss various updates and upcoming events within the district, all while navigating a few light-hearted moments. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of community as the committee members shared news about school activities and maintenance efforts.
One notable highlight was the successful delivery of 12 tables from Memorial School to Fitchburg High School (FHS) for an upcoming career fair. This effort showcased the hard work of the custodial staff, who have been keeping busy with various tasks. The committee expressed appreciation for their dedication.
As the meeting progressed, discussions turned to student enrollment, with a desire to present a comprehensive list of the diverse countries represented by students in the district at the next meeting. This initiative aims to celebrate the rich cultural tapestry within the schools.
The committee also addressed the status of various subcommittees. The policy subcommittee reported no new developments, with their next meeting scheduled for January 22nd. Similarly, the Student Support Subcommittee's meeting was canceled due to a lack of quorum, with plans to reconvene on February 3rd.
Excitement filled the room as a student representative shared the thrilling news that ten students from the FHS band had participated in the prestigious Rose Parade in Pasadena as part of the New England Honor Band. This experience was described as a significant honor and a memorable event for the students involved.
Looking ahead, the committee noted several important dates: a PTO meeting at Rheingold School, another at McKay School, and a reminder that there would be no school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Additionally, ACCESS testing for English language learners was set to take place that week, with well wishes extended to all participating students.
A moment of levity arose when a discussion about a supposed snow day at Crocker Elementary sparked confusion among members. While some believed there was a snow day, it was clarified that there was no such announcement, leading to light-hearted banter about the school's mascot, the Polar Cubs.
As the meeting wrapped up, the committee left with a sense of camaraderie and anticipation for the upcoming events, reflecting the vibrant spirit of the Fitchburg educational community.
