Students Embark on EF Tours to London and France for Spring Break

The Board of Education meeting held on April 30, 2025, focused on several key topics, highlighting recent student activities and important educational initiatives.

The meeting began with a report on recent travel opportunities for students. Two highly anticipated EF tours took place over spring break, one organized by the social studies department to London and another by the art department to France and Italy. Participants engaged in extensive sightseeing, visiting significant landmarks and immersing themselves in the local culture. The trips were praised for providing students with enriching experiences that combined exploration with learning, allowing them to enjoy the journey without the pressure of academic assignments.

Following the travel discussions, the board addressed the recent spring concerts held by the music groups. These performances marked a significant milestone for graduating seniors, many of whom have been involved in music since elementary school. The concerts were described as a heartfelt conclusion to their musical journeys, showcasing the talents and dedication of the students.

The meeting also included a discussion on a recent assembly for seniors focused on the dangers of drunk driving. This assembly featured a poignant presentation from a mother who shared her personal story as a victim of drunk driving. The board emphasized the importance of such discussions, especially with the spring and summer seasons approaching, as they aim to raise awareness and promote safety among students.

In summary, the Board of Education meeting highlighted the value of experiential learning through travel, celebrated the achievements of senior music students, and underscored the critical importance of safety education. The board plans to continue supporting these initiatives to enhance student experiences and well-being.
