[Applause] We have one final portion of the ceremony left as we wait for our coaches to come up here to the front for our pencil awards. Okay, let's see if we can do this in an orderly fashion.
So great job here. Um their dedication, the spirit of this team 59813B just remains constant from year to year. Their hard work has paid off once again and we're very excited to be going to the world championship. One last little thing. So the team number 59813B is the exact same team number that's made it all three years. So something magical about this team number, not only with the team, but it is the flagship for BCSC, carrying this team, these students, our drive and determination all the way to the world championships again in 2025. Thank you. And in traditional VEX fashion, we are going to let the students each introduce our team members each introduce themselves to you. They're going to tell you their role on the team, their name, obviously, grade of school that they're in, and maybe what they really love about robotics. All right.
We did this again with the most amazing staff. But we did it through instructional leadership, systematic support systems, and paying close attention and care to not just our students, but our families and our staff members. Currently I'm working on a doctorate in organizational leadership. I have all my classwork done. I'm just finishing my dissertation right now which is about the variance in teacher burnout as it relates to teacher attitudes towards trauma-informed care. So you see the research allows me to dig deeply and explore the intersection of trauma-informed care and teacher well-being. Something that I believe is just vital in our public educ education system today. On a personal note, my husband John, he's a middle school teacher. We are both excited for this move. He's really never been to Covington and is not from Covington, but excited about the close-knit community and everything I've shared with him over the years.

Okay. Nice idea until I drove in here tonight and I saw what was a 10-ft blue spruce on the corner down here cut down and piled up for the trash man. And if we're going to cut down a 10 foot blue spruce, then we don't deserve spending any money on a green a greenway with a bunch of exotic flowers in it. That's my whole comment. Okay.

[Applause] Oh, did he get the save? Didn't quite get there. I'm not sure. Fighting for the ball. It's still loose. Good. Good pickup by the Raiders. [Music] That's Cavaliro with it right now. Good effort. Better effort by Holl 37. Just finding that ball and good good timeout right there by Red. Smart smart play. And they're gonna uh talk it over for a minute. See what's going on.

And uh got a little information right there. There was actually some dirt in our camera person's eyes. Elsa Suko. We wish her the best and hopefully a couple blinks will get that out. Something in your eye is never enjoyable. And if she missed any plays or anything, she said she apologizes, but there was an issue.
Last time these two teams met up little bit of a discrepancy with the officiating and I think in the second half it got changed a little bit different and you saw me was able to win more of the draws as Darby Po throws the ball up and gets herself a draw draw control from West Springfield will now set up their offense. Mov to Canada. Canada looking to make a move. You saw me closing those gaps. Kylie Marino putting pushing Canannada further and further back. Good job by the freshman doing that as Canada gets the ball in. And what a save by Jenna Holly. Janahali quickly gets one up just out of the reach of M. Whitward. West Springfield will start all over. Movs by three saw defenders. Sets up the offense. Over to Po back to I don't know who that is. Connelly. Connelly behind the net looking to make a move.

We know this strong schools, strong communities and bears mentioning strong property values and ultimately our district mission is about kids. So uh within that additional tax levy application, what did it contain? and it contained all the items that were presented in our April 8th presentation. That's on our website here. They're recapped. Just going through these. It's a combination of maintaining items that were going to be cut in the the three prior presentations, right? So January 30th, February 27th, March 17th, talked about all of the horrible cuts that we'd have to make to dig ourselves out of millions of dollars of budget hole. And instead we get to talk about maintaining these and going back to things that were cut during the seven years of S2 like reducing class size back to where we were in in still times that were higher than what we experienced before S2 but certainly happier times than we are now.
One of our highlights was a fun rock paper and scissors match between our mister and Miss GHS Fina Shaverska and Jaden Hos. Additionally, the money uh raised from the tickets that we sell from the top rally will go towards our planning our coming our upcoming spring dance which we're really excited about.

Even if it's just a short conversation, you will see for yourself that he's one of the most loving, caring, and he'd do anything to see any of the student athlete student any of his student athletes succeed uh not just in baseball, but in life itself. Thank [Applause] you. Frank Bole [Applause] Hi, my name is Frank Boya. I'm the head freshman baseball coach at Willow Canyon. I've been there six years now. I'm here to talk about the investigation of the Willow Canyon baseball team and its coaches. Um, if there's a policy for coaches, if the policy for coaches is one and done, it should be in writing. The same policy should be applicable to the student athlete as well, but we wouldn't have many players on the team. It's a problem nationwide. Athletes are reprimanded, punished, etc., and it works for about a minute until he makes a mistake or strikes out.
