The MSAD 51 School Board convened on December 5, 2024, to recognize the achievements of the Greeley High School Football team and discuss ongoing initiatives within the district. The meeting began with a celebration of the football team's recent victory in the 8-man large school state championship, marking their first state title. Representatives Steve Moriarty and Anne Graham attended to present official sentiments from the state, congratulating the team for their accomplishment.

Moriarty, addressing the board as a private citizen, expressed pride in the team's success and noted the timing of the recognition, which was finalized just before the legislative session ended. He read a formal statement from the Maine legislature, highlighting the significance of the championship win and extending best wishes to the team members. Representative Graham echoed these sentiments, praising the team's hard work and growth over the years, and expressed hope for continued success in the future.

Following the football team's recognition, the agenda shifted to the Greeley Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), represented by co-chairs Jenny Burnell and Tara Nelson. They outlined the PTO's mission to enrich the educational experience for students in grades pre-K through 8 by funding various activities, including field trips and guest speakers. Burnell and Nelson shared highlights from recent events, such as a kindergarten coffee gathering aimed at connecting new parents and a successful fundraiser night at the Maine Mariners.

The meeting concluded with a sense of community pride and a commitment to supporting the educational initiatives within the district. The board looks forward to further collaboration with the PTO and continued recognition of student achievements in the future.
