The Saint Peter Public Schools Board of Education meeting held on April 25, 2025, featured a heartwarming student spotlight, highlighting first grader Kony Hoffer from South Elementary. Kony, accompanied by his parents and baby sister, shared insights about his school experience, including his favorite subjects and activities.

During the spotlight, Kony discussed his two main teachers, Miss Alderman and Miss Warner, the latter of whom is currently on maternity leave. Kony expressed enthusiasm for his gym and art classes, emphasizing that school is "just fun in general." He also explained a math activity called "math workplaces," where students engage in games to learn about two-dimensional shapes.

Kony's artistic talents were showcased through a recent clay project involving lily pads, which he brought home. He also spoke about earning "star pride rewards" in class, focusing on the theme of cooperation, which he described as teamwork. Kony is working towards a class prize of a "PJ stuffy day."

The meeting continued without a student council report, but the board members expressed their appreciation for Kony's contributions and recognized his positive behavior in school. The spotlight on Kony served as a reminder of the achievements and efforts of students within the district, fostering a sense of community and support among educators and families.
