Weber School District -

The heart of Weber School District was on full display during our April Board Meeting. From the captivating stories of our youngest learners to the bittersweet farewells of seasoned legends, the evening was a powerful reminder of the impact our educators and staff have on the lives of 30,000 students every day.

A Voice That Captivates: Student Storytelling

The meeting kicked off with a departure from our usual musical performance, and the room was instantly mesmerized. Emma Ashby from Valley Elementary took the stage for a "Student Storytelling" presentation. With incredible poise and confidence, Emma reminded every board member and guest exactly why we do what we do: to provide our students with the tools and the courage to share their unique voices with the world.

Going the Extra Mile: Serena Hawes

We were thrilled to present the Extra Mile Award to Serena Hawes, the dedicated Bookkeeper at Weber Adult Education. Often referred to as "the face of Weber Adult Ed," Serena is a rock for students who are often navigating difficult paths. This past year, she personally helped 72 students achieve their GEDs. Serena proves that kindness isn't just a trait—it’s a bridge to a brighter future.

• Karen Miller (Principal, Orchard Springs Elementary): With 26 years of experience, Karen noted that there is no better way to end a career than with the smiles and hugs of her students.
