The strive for good character is the strive for self-control. We must be in reality we wish to appear to others to be rather than to seem. By demonstrating such qualities as respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship, we may hope to prove by example that we value character. This chapter of the National Honor Society has confront good character dur sorry through our appreciation of Yung High's principles, teachers, and staff members and the dedication towards happiness of the student body. Members of their chapter have spent many hours tutoring their peers in a variety of subjects and have provided advice both in and out of the classroom. Each day, the members of the National Society pave the way for good character in our community. And while this generation of human kind's time is coming to an end, we will continue to be good. We will continue to be examples of good character in the communities we embrace in the future.

Um, there was some discussion about plantings and what we're going to do. Let's let's let the cards come back and let once the dollars fall, we'll figure out what we're going to do with the project. Um, we did have Matt Hutter come to the thing with the IT. We had a great discussion. um he clarified a lot of things and what came out of it is we need to readjust our heading because in reality we're really not spending money on hardware. The majority of that budget when you break it down and you talk to Matt is more of Chromebooks and our subscriptions and our software and all the stuff that drives the system to make it work. Um, last couple years we have taken some substantial hits with the with the back end. So, we're working through it. I'm a little more comfortable, but I I know we talked about maybe we need to change that line item in the budget to more appropriately reflect what the money's being spent on.
