Bike Rack

Students on the Park Principal Advisory Council work hard to make the school a better place.  From teaching lessons to kindergarteners about the importance of being Prepared, Accountable, Respectful, and Kind to talking with the third graders about setting a good example, the Council does a lot of good.

The Council also spends time talking with their classmates and other students in the building about things we can do to make the school a nicer place.  This year, after getting everyone's input, the Council requested that we put in a bike rack.  Dr. Shaughnessy and Mrs. Chalus thought it sounded like a good idea, and the students invited Mr. Keesecker, the Director of Facilities for the Steel Valley School District, to come in and talk about it.

Over the past few weeks the students have been working hard preparing a professional PowerPoint presentation, which they shared with Mr. Keesecker over lunch today. They told him about the Council and the important work they do.  They then discussed why we need a bike rack and made suggestions regarding the model and location.  The students listened thoughtfully to Mr. Keesecker's input and were prepared to answer his questions.

Mr. Keesecker was impressed, and we will be getting a bike rack at Park Elementary!  The students on the Council worked hard to make it happen -- they really are helping to make the school a better place!
