Molly Martin, Bailey Intermediate fifth grader, and daughter of board member Jeff Martin read a poem written by teacher Kim Lacey on the enormous role a school board has to its district. The Everett Elementary Leadership Team presented a banner to the board thanking them of their dedication and service.
