FORT RECOVERY — Middle school student council members here deserved to toot their own horn at the school board meeting Tuesday.

Three student council members reviewed numerous activities the group completed and donations the group made to the middle school and area organizations during the 2003-04 school year. These activities included raising money for the Heart Association of Dayton in December, visiting nursing home residents in Celina, Ohio and Coldwater, Ohio for Valentine’s Day and sending flowers to retired middle school teachers.

Student council sponsor Kathy Jutte told the board Tuesday that council members meet twice a month for 15 minutes during the school year and once during the summer.

Also Tuesday, the student council presented board members with donations of $500 for the middle school track team and $700 to go towards the $1,200 lighting project for the flag pole at the middle school.
