Johnson Elementary School student news crew members used the Oct. 9 morning announcements to launch a Beanstalk Read Challenge and to promote an upcoming bake sale/cakewalk and raffle drive.
The announcements, delivered by student news crew members Gretchen and Vanessa, said the Beanstalk Read Challenge asks students to "Read 300 minutes and write 1 thoughtful book review to earn a free book," and encouraged students to be safe, respectful and responsible.
The pair also promoted a cakewalk and bake sale and asked students to bring donations to a spot inside the vestibule. Vanessa told listeners that raffle tickets "can be sold through 10PM tonight" and that the raffle total mentioned during the announcements was $13,444, with a remaining shortfall described as "about $250".
Other routine items included the day's lunch (listed as Licious Cheeseburger and Hotdog on a Bun; vegetarian baked beans and potato chips), a weather note (high of 72, low of 57) and the school's pledge and motto recitation. The announcements also said there were no birthdays reported that day.
No formal votes or administrative actions were recorded in the announcements.
A full transcript of the related announcement segments is available in the meeting record.
