On Monday, May 12, the Panorama School Board met. A public hearing was held regarding a proposed 2024-2025 budget amendment. No written or oral objections/comments were received, so the hearing was promptly closed. Later in the regular meeting, the amendment was unanimously approved by the board members present.
In the “Good News” portion of the meeting, Angie Clouser told of a recent donation of books the eighth-grade student council delivered to Youth and Shelter Service for summer enrichment and mentoring programs.
Mrs. Dorhout reported on a reading unit titled, “What can people of different generations learn from one another?” Dorhout’s seventh-grade reading class has been visiting Lakeside Village Assisted Living monthly. During the April visit, students interviewed tenants about their lives. She said this gives students practice in interviewing, listening and note-taking. The students have since been writing summaries of the interviews.
The recent National Honor Society blood drive resulted in 35 total donors with 11 first-time, and 39 units of blood were collected.
The board approved an overnight trip for the high school volleyball players to attend the Ames Volleyball Camp, July 21-22. Ten students and three chaperones are expected to attend.
Superintendent Kasey Huebner noted upcoming dates, including the last day of school (May 23).
The next regular meeting of the board is set for Monday, June 9 at 5:30 p.m. The public is welcome.
