Several Ellsworth students attended Monday night’s school board meeting with a prototype of a sign they plan to install at four intersections near Ellsworth Junior/Senior High School.

The 30- x 6-inch prototype had Victory Lane on it; however, the students said members of the Class of 2020 will decide the names of the lanes to be marked, including ones leading into the high school parking lot and to the back of the school building.

One suggestion is Alumni Lane and the students hope to have the signs in place in time for Homecoming, the week of Sept. 16. Board members unanimously approved the installation of the signs.

In other business:

• Board president David Hand thanked Cats Pride and its 2019 Fall Athletics Kick-Off Aug. 30 for student athletes.

He also recognized seniors who have been named Kansas Honor Scholars: Cody Bourbon, Jordyn Coonrod and Hayden Rogers.

And juniors who have been named Wichita Shocker Honor Scholars: Kelsey Ashbaugh, Logan Erichsen, Noah Erichsen, Shaylee Leiker, Rachel Sebesta, Jonathan Spachek, Adam Vehring.

(Both colleges recognize the top 10 percent of the class.)

EHS Bearcat Band was awarded First Place in the youth division for their entry in the Cowtown Parade.

• The board accepted gifts and grants from: Safe Schools in the amount of $9,880 from the Kansas State Department of Education; Kanopolis United Methodist Women, $150 to KMS for school supplies; Cats Pride, $500 to the EJSH Athletics Department; and a memorial to EJSHS Art Dept in memory of Jean Converse of $470.
