So, if you lose us on Zoom, uh, and you want to participate, we're going to ask you to come down in person, you'll still be able to watch it through YouTube and WACA TV. Um, but if the Zoom link goes down, it'll be difficult for us to interact with you. So, just be aware of that, those of you who are on Zoom. Um from there we are going to uh do citizens participation and if anyone who wants to do citizens participation if you could please come line up and because we do have an appointment at 710 and 7:15 with our legislators.

Again, since we do have a couple of speakers signed up, um we will give them say five minutes or so to show up. Is that reasonable? I'm aware. Yeah. And then of course I assume that we can fit them in at the uh items from the floor or one of the other moments they had their timing wrong. Seem reasonable. Okay. I can't remember password. All right, seeing as there are apparently no speakers for this item, uh we will adjourn to close session back at 6. Hello everyone. Thank you.

How was the vaccine? How did it go? All of them for The Boy You Knew It was cold. It was very cold. It was filmed in February, January, early March.

Is that like the vibe that we're going for? Was it inspired after any film? Oh, it was inspired my uh my director Heaven. She said she was inspired by the movie I Believe in Unicorns. It's this really kind of indie almost like nostalgic feeling film and it has kind of a lot of these moments where it's like these random blurts of like film where she's doing something and that's kind of where a lot of our inspiration came from.
First, we are having a school age career fair Saturday, May 3rd from 2 to 4 for the K through 12 students. This is a free event where we will be have gotten members of the community to come out and allow the children of the community to come out and ask questions about their career and what they do. They will be able to get some information about the job and understand what a day-to-day might look like for someone in that field. There will also be resources for parents, prizes to earn, and fun to be had. Please come out and support your local library as we support you. Second, our main branch, the Maraveville Library, is hosting an early literacy fair for newborn to preschool age children. April 26th from 10 to 3. This event will have multiple vendors, many different stations for play and learning, all to end with a 1-hour concert by author and entertainer Jim Gil.
As the school board process changed, he was one of the three board members when the Lake Station board was a three member board. Then when it became an appointed board, he was one of the five that served on this board when it was an appointed board. And finally, when it became an elected board, he continued his service on the board of school trustees by being elected to his office. He was also awarded the Sagamore the Wall Bash award, which is the highest citizen award that can be earned from a citizen of the state of Indiana. He was also very active in our community, very active in our church and very very much was true to his heart about students, students education and Lake Station being second to none in providing our students with a high quality education. With that, if I could ask everyone this evening for a moment of silence in honor and recognition of Mr.
We're playing with the best of the best here. Semifinals. Both teams are here at the end of bracket for a reason. Alrighty. Uh, so it looks like we're starting to get ready to start the match. Okay. I think Sam's going to be starting because I I heard I was talking to the coaches and the players. Typically, they start with Eli, but it seems like today we're going to be starting with Sam to like change up the strategy a little bit. Well, that's good. You definitely want to change up your strategy. Oh, wait. I might be wrong. Oh, no. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. Okay. So, it looks like we're starting with Eli and looks like they got a Falco ready to play. Okay. So, before we get started, our starting map is Small Battlefield and the loser of the first match gets to counter pick the stage for the second match and it's a best of three situation.

Pinto, who shared with us a heartwarming story about one of our own, Mr. James Liry. Earlier that day, Mr. Liry exhibited exceptionally quick thinking and bravery when he intervened to save us to save a student's life. I said it to you last month when you had a group of your students out in the audience. And I say to you again, ladies, we're among greatness tonight. This is a great young man. He's a fantastic English teacher. He's a fantastic football coach. He's a fantastic basketball coach. And we're blessed to have him on Cliffside Park High School staff. So with that, Mr. ter. Would you like to say a few words? Yeah, I have a couple words to say here. You don't have that energy like you do in the basketball court. Come up here. Come up. Give me the energy.
