The Pledge of Allegiance was conducted.

Under roll call, all directors were present.

Superintendent Harrison shared that last year the district had a big science adoption and that we would have Glacier Middle School students share what they are learning and guide an activity with the board.  Glacier Middle School Principal Hedman asked the board and audience to break up into four tabletop groups.  He then introduced Science Teacher, Ms. Mitchell, who introduced the students who were guiding the activity and gave information on what the activity was- Recovering Copper.    Each group assigned roles to each member and textbooks, notebooks, handouts, safety gear, and materials were distributed.  The students then guided the groups through the activity, walking around, assisting, and answering questions.  The groups then shared their conclusion with all.  

The board then asked the students various questions, including what their favorite units were.  Students thanked the board for the opportunity to present what they had been learning, that they had a lot of fun doing the activities, and they wanted to share the fun with the board.     

The board thanked the students, their families, and the teacher for taking the time to attend the meeting and share this experiment.  They enjoyed and appreciated it.
