Fifth graders from Van Allen Elementary were recognized at Monday night’s Mount Pleasant School Board meeting for their leadership and Panther Pride.
Teachers introduced the group of students, explaining how the fifth graders have taken on new responsibilities as the oldest students in the building.
Students shared highlights from their work on the Homecoming Committee, where they helped plan dress-up days and design posters, and their roles in Morning Announcements, writing and reading daily updates for the school.
They also discussed the Wellness Ambassador Program, which promotes healthy choices through activities like “Mighty Miler” runs, Wellness Days, and Field Day planning.
Board members thanked the students for their enthusiasm and leadership, commending them for setting a positive example of Panther Pride at Van Allen.
