Seaford Scholars Share Gratitude for School Board’s Efforts
Seaford School District Board of Education trustees got to hear directly from students just how much their efforts mean during a presentation at the beginning of the Oct. 23 meeting. To mark School Boards Recognition Week, students from each school showcased programs and resources that are the direct result of the board’s planning.
Fifth graders from Seaford Manor Elementary School began by sharing information about their new broadcast club, Manor Morning News. They put together a special edition of the show dedicated to the board of education, which was played at the meeting. Students thanked the trustees for the renovated school library, which includes space for their studio.
Seaford Harbor shared a photo montage of students enjoying different academic resources, such as early literacy programs and laptops, as well as upgraded facilities including the LIFT room and blacktop area.
Students from the middle school showcased the new computer science program. They used their knowledge of Java Script coding to make an animated thank-you graphic for the board. From the high school, students in the CDP program highlighted their farm-to-table program and presented each trustee with a sample of items made from their garden including kale chips and chocolate chip cauliflower cake.
Two students from the Beyond Seaford High School class presented board members with personalized keychains, part of their Shark Tank entrepreneurial project. The class raised $600 from sales which was donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Students thanked the board for approving the new elective class that provides valuable life skills such as money management and public speaking.
Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora noted that the five board of education members – President Lisa Herbert, Vice President Trisha Matulewicz and trustees Jimmy Chwe, Heather Umhafer and Melissa Whidden – are volunteers who devote countless hours to making the district better and always put students first.
