In a vibrant gathering at the Page County Schools Board Meeting on May 15, 2025, educators and board members celebrated a year filled with engaging activities and community involvement. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as they recounted memorable events that brought students, families, and staff together.
One highlight was the recent spring concert, where students showcased their talents with a delightful "Night at the Movies" theme, performing beloved Disney songs. The new music teacher, who joined just before Veterans Day, has quickly made a positive impact, leading successful concerts that have captivated both students and parents alike.
The meeting also spotlighted the WatchDOGS program, which saw ten dedicated male volunteers contribute nearly 500 hours to support students throughout the year. These volunteers have fostered meaningful relationships, enhancing the school environment and providing positive role models for the children.
Upcoming events were a focal point of discussion, particularly the Spring Carnival scheduled for May 30, which promises to be a fun-filled day for families. The carnival will feature various activities, and local media outlet WHSV has been invited to cover the event, further strengthening community ties.
In addition to these celebrations, the board acknowledged the challenges faced by the school, particularly regarding accreditation. However, the emphasis remained on the positive strides being made and the dedication of the staff to improve student experiences. Board members expressed their admiration for the school's efforts, noting the strong connections between students and teachers, which were evident during their visits.
As the meeting wrapped up, the sense of community and commitment to student success resonated strongly. With graduation approaching on June 7, the school is poised to celebrate not just academic achievements but also the vibrant spirit of collaboration that defines Page County Schools. The board's enthusiasm for future events and initiatives leaves a hopeful outlook for the coming school year, as they continue to build on their successes and address challenges head-on.
