With Susan's skills improving, so did her confidence and self-esteem. She worked harder to keep her grades up and her GPA improved significantly. The team helped her blossom into a confident, well-rounded individual. While she continued to excel in basketball, she discovered her passion for basketball had opened doors to other opportunities. She became a role model role model for other younger students and players, volunteered in community service activities, and became a mentor herself to help other students who struggle with their mental health. She was able to use her struggles to help others similar to her grow. And it showed how a single passion could connect an individual to their school, provide them with a sense of belonging, and inspire them to reach her full potential. Sometimes the key to finding oneself lies in embracing a shared passion and finding a supportive community. We understand you as teachers and administrators in our district play such an important role in these kids' lives to stay eligible.

We had 8% compliance. So, out of all the files that we had submitted to them, we had 8%. We did have 60 days to correct those and when we gave them all those corrections, they were all found to be in compliance. And then we've given them subsequent files since and all of those files have been found compliant. Okay. Which is wonderful. Uh so with that then my question is um that progression was that documented? So should you win the lottery or something and we somehow fall back into less than ideal standards is that process documented to get us back to where we we have actively been creating those processes for the whole entire district. I will say even my previous district before I left I left them everything that I had created. I brought it with me too, but I left them everything. And even working with my team, we're organizing that stuff a little bit more better so that no matter who comes in, they have access to that stuff.

But we've done a nice job with that. um for next year with resource management, we're going to have the third grade take on their jobs. And so they're going to become, as I like to call them, stewards of the land, and they're going to look at the um the interior area, the outdoor classroom, and the roof deck and see what kinds of things we can do with those areas and have the third graders maintain them. So then each grade will have a job. I The fifth grade job that I forgot is the school council.

Are are teachers and students planning something official? Students and staff do march.

We have worked to set up a cycle that our core areas um are picked up every other year on an overall eight-year cycle u to ensure that we're keeping fresh and relevant curriculum in place.
