AGENDA/PPT

• This year, I am especially thankful for our community and the voice I get to provide for my fellow students. This Saturday, our football team faced off against Chester in a stunning victory. We also wanted to congratulate the girl's soccer team for fabulous wins across the board, and for making it so far in the playoffs this season! Last week, the theater department put on a wonderful show of Romeo and Juliet with innovative, creative choices in costume and set design and perfect dramatic timing. In our last student forum, Mirella and I were able to connect with students as the plans for building renovations were officially announced. Again, students expressed concern about the trailers, which were a temporary solution for overcapacity from before. The new plans for renovations were received with a lot of excitement, especially with plans for renovations in the library and special education classrooms. As we dive into the spirit of giving, we had our annual Thanksgiving canned drive with the Haven HelpsClub. We beat our previous record by over 1,000 cans, making this one of the most successful food drives in Haven history.

AGENDA/PPT

• As we are approaching winter break by the end of this week, our students have been extremely busy. At the high school, students collected toys for local families needing holiday support. The three bins of donations were filled to the brim with various toys and activities. Thank you to all who donated and made it a huge success! At the beginning of the school year, a feminine hygiene product dispenser was placed in every girls’ bathroom. However, since the installation, these hygiene products have not been placed in the dispensers at any point. One month ago, the high school feminist club had a bake sale to purchase such products to place in the dispensers. This should not be how we show support to our students. We urge you to supply these products to students at no cost. In other news, on December 14th, Aditi and I traveled to Hatboro Horsham High School along with Dr. Marseille, Dr. Mosakowski, and some of our peers. We are grateful to represent the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District as Cultural Proficiency Student Ambassadors. For the entirety of the school day, we discussed issues regarding educational equity, racial literacy, and awareness. Aditi and I are working alongside our fellow student ambassadors to create a project that we hope to implement in the district. We are extremely excited to continue updating everyone on what's to come with our project! Additionally, elementary school and middle school concerts took place from the chorus, orchestra, and band. Each student did an excellent job at showcasing their talents. We want to thank you all for your continued support. Happy holidays and see you next year!
