4.D. Artist of the Month - Zoe Geis
Rationale

From Katherine Lincoln:

I chose Zoe Geis for artist of the month because she comes into class and always tries her hardest, even on projects that are difficult for her. She is respectful and always willing to help, and is kind to others in art class. She is able to overcome obstacles and finds creative ways to get through challenges in the art room.

5. Hearing of Citizens and Delegations
5.A. The board welcomes the opportunity to hear from the community and inform the board of your views on matters before the board, please keep in mind: • The Board of Education agenda is set and by statute, the board can only discuss the items that are present on the agenda. • The board cannot legally, nor would the board discuss an issue specific to an employee or student in respect to privacy. • If you have a concern that you would like a response from the administration, feel free to leave your information as directed. • Keep comments to 2 minutes, so that all that wish to speak may speak.
