As had become established practice, the beginning of the Mountain View School Board meeting held a section for acknowledgment of student success. Those to be honored that evening, though several of the students were not present, were: CTC National Honor Society members: Kelly Baker, Brett Crowley, Sydney Miller, Trevor Mills, and Tim Van Vleck. Also acknowledged were two students, Natalia Parjane and Stephanie Ostir, who were participating in the Hugh O'Brian Student Leadership program (HOBY). Mr. Richmond asked what this was, and it was responded that it was a youth organization where the students would be meeting people from the government and learning about the government.

Brandon Hawm, the Student Government Liaison, presented his report or outlined the activities of various other groups. Mr. Hawm attended the meeting still dressed in his baseball uniform. The team had beaten Lackawanna Trail 8 to 2.

For the past several years the Blue Ridge food service operation has provided free meals to people participating in summer programs at the schools under a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  It has always been a resounding success and now it will be promoted at county libraries.  Participants will still need to come to the Blue Ridge campus to take part, but Blue Ridge School Board president Laurie Brown-Bonner wants to see if there are ways to make the food available more broadly.  Superintendent Robert McTiernan said there are regulations about food preparation and storage – temperatures for hot food, for example – but he said he would look into it further.
