Board of Education Meeting at Pleasant Ridge
The Board of Education took the show on the road last night. The meeting was held at Pleasant Ridge and included a tour of the building. It was great to see the wonderful learning opportunities available for our students.
Music teacher Ms. Coleen Walker shared how she is using her recently installed Smartboard. The new technology was purchased and installed with a grant she received from a local community foundation.
We had the privilege of being led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Ms. Jeanie Lambros’s 2nd grade class. They followed it up with a wonderful rendition of the National Anthem.

In honor of School Board Appreciation Month, board members were presented with books from the Saline Education Association. The books that will be donated to our elementary school media centers.
The Board of Education will be back at Union School for the February 10th meeting, but then it is back on the road again to the High School for the February 24th meeting.
Scot,
It will be through continued use of technology (like the Smartboard) that our kids will continue to embrace technological tools. I only wish that there had been smartboards when I was in elementary school!
The kids at Pleasant Ridge will, one day, look back on their time in Ms. Walker’s classroom as the “olden times” of technology, while they push the frontiers, because they became comfortable with tech tools at a young age.
