Board Honored With a Showcase of Student Learning

Board Honored With a Showcase of Student Learning

Seaford students proudly shared the programs that enrich their academic experiences for the annual School Boards Recognition Week presentation. The board of education meeting on Oct. 22 began with an interactive showcase to thank the district’s five volunteer trustees. 

A video from Seaford Harbor Elementary School featured students talking about the new math program implemented this year. Five students then presented each trustee with a folder that contained a poem about the math program, the Seaford Scholar traits and words of gratitude.   

Seaford Manor Elementary School created a special edition of Manor Morning News that highlighted the math program and a new adaptive playground that is nearing completion. The video also featured student interviews with Board of Education President Lisa Herbert and Vice President Trisha Matulewicz about their role as trustees and their favorite parts about serving on the board.  

Four Seaford Middle School students gave a robotics demonstration, highlighting a program that fosters innovation and problem-solving. After showcasing a “freeze tag” robots battle, school board members were then invited to come over and work the controls. 

Students from the high school’s emergency medical technician certification program discussed the value of the course, which began three years ago. They then showed what they have learned so far by taking the blood pressure of the board members and central administrators.  

In addition to Ms. Herbert and Ms. Matulewicz, the board includes trustees Jimmy Chwe, Heather Umhafer and Melissa Whidden. 

“We have the opportunity to publicly express our gratitude to the Board of Education trustees for their selfless dedication to the Seaford School District,” Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora said. “They volunteer countless hours every year to ensure that we provide our students with innovative educational programs that empower students to be active learners and future leaders.”
