Board recognizes grant-funded book vending machines and literacy initiatives
The board recognized recent literacy and student‑engagement efforts funded by local grants. Foothills, John Sevier, Montgomery Ridge, and Coulter Grove received new book vending machines; Sam Houston received funding to purchase new books for an existing machine. The Maryville City Schools Foundation and Arconic provided grant funding to support the purchases.

Montgomery Ridge launched a 5th Grade Genre Challenge supported by the Foundation; staff and maintenance personnel at Maryville High were thanked for ensuring a smooth start in the renovated cafeteria. Schools also reported kickoff events for students and families the prior week.
