All grade levels and populations are well-represented.Our function as a board is to gather information, ideas, and concerns from parents, teachers, and staff members. We often identify problem areas, look at how we can better inform students and parents, and make suggestions and recommendations that help provide our school with a better learning/teaching environment. One of our main goals over the past couple of years has been developing ways to get parents more involved in our school and in our students.Over the past few years, our committee has purchased a great deal of equipment and software used in the classroom. The board established the Panther Pride Reading Program in 2004-2005, which continues today. We initiated the lighting of the path to the football field and the taping off of a walk way on the metal bleachers in the gym. We purchased and planted crepe myrtles in front of the school; and, as a memorial for Madison Fagan and to beautify our school, we purchased the benches that sit on each side of the front doors. Our board members have helped with school-sponsored functions such as the Veterans Day Celebration, Teacher Appreciation, Lion’s Club Eye Screenings, etc.The board has accomplished several beneficial goals in the past and has helped out several teachers with technology and/or equipment needs in their classrooms. We hope to continue this progress in the future. We take all suggestions and requests before the board, and with discussion and the promise of funds, we do our best to fulfill requests and accomplish suggestions.Please feel free contact any of the board members listed.Thank you.
