Last night was our October board meeting, and it was exciting to hear from Emma Helton about the seniors' plans for senior trip. The board approved a trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama, for May 5-11. It looks like they have lots of fun activities planned, and they've worked really hard to earn their money. It's a trip they'll never forget, and I'd like to thank the community for all of the support you show these students to make that possible.
The board also approved a new gym roof last night. Ours is well out of warranty, and in September, one of the roof seams had a 32' split in it which caused a huge leak in one of our locker rooms. It's time to fully replace it, and we will have that done before winter sets in.
We are also looking for a new building secretary. Our beloved Karen Fields, the first person you see when you walk in the door and a huge part of making this district run every day, is retiring at the end of the year. We would like to hire and train someone this year--Karen has a lot of important duties, and we want to make sure the person takes over next year fully ready for the job. If you are interested or know someone who may be, have them contact me at tspencer@tuscumbialions.k12.mo.us.
