RIVER FALLS – The River Falls School Board meeting March 25 focused celebrating successes within the district.
Board member Mike Miller presented a Wildcat Pride Award to River Falls Lions Club members for their support of the district’s schools and students.
“The Lions have displayed the willingness to care, support and love our students with scholarships for diabetic students to attend Camp Needlepoint, vision screenings for all of our elementary students, financial support to students in need of glasses and mental health support, and sponsored motivational speakers for students,” Miller said.
He presented a second Wildcat Pride Award to Meyer Middle School students and staff for being chosen as a 2024 State School of Character.
“Your impressive ability to succeed at character development has had a significant impact on academic achievement, student behavior and the school climate within the community,” Miller said to Principal Mark Chapin, who accepted the award.
Next, River Falls High School freshmen FFA members spoke about the history and significance of the FFA Creed, which helps establish the organization’s collective vision and goals with the intent of providing purpose and direction. Written by E.M. Tiffany, an agriculture professor at University of Wisconsin, in 1928 and officially adopted by the National FFA organization in 1930, one of the first activities for new FFA members is to memorize the FFA Creed.
“This short, five-paragraph creed has transformed many a shaking, nervous freshman into a confident and articulate FFA member,” Luther said.
After their recitation of the creed, Board President Stacy Johnson Meyers called their performance “very impressive.”
