Lori Tilden-Geiger, director of marketing, public relations and grants at Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation, said the $799 grant is to get more enrichment materials so students can be more engaged in the program. She said the mission is to reach out to students earlier about their options, whether they’re on a career or college path. The curriculum will be engaging and project based, she said.
Spanish teacher Sonia Roche and social studies teacher Hunter Ackerman, who are the senior advisors for the senior trip, updated the Board on plans.
Ackerman said the senior class at Tippecanoe Valley High School was really looking forward to getting back to Washington, D.C., for its senior trip this year. The class plans on being in Washington, D.C. April 27-30.
The class is going through an educational travel company called Hemisphere Educational Travel. There’s different activities each day the class will be there, he said.
As of Monday, there are 24 students signed up for the trip. The cost is $1,369 per student as of right now. Different fundraisers are planned, including a Nelson’s chicken fundraiser at the high school in February to help with the cost.
The Board approved the trip.
In other business, the Board:
• Approved the master calendars for the 2023-24 and 2024-2025 school years.
• Approved the 2023-24 course description guide.
• Accepted other donations including $800 from Akron Church of God for Akron Elementary’s first-grade Soft Start, $200 from the Akron Las Donas Club for the Akron nurse fund and $500 from the Atwood Lions Club for the Boomerang Backpack program.
