Our next two speakers should be commended on their leadership and passion for Greenway High School. Their commitment and enthusiasm for Greenway is a true reflection of the many great things we have seen from the class of 2025. It is my pleasure to introduce two one the first of these two amazing students. Please join me in welcoming our student body president, Miss Ansley Dunar. [Music] [Applause] Hello family, friends, and fellow graduates. My name is Anley Dunar, and I'm addressing you all for the last time as your student body president. Today isn't just the end of high school. It's the beginning of everything else. We've grown up together, some since elementary school, others more recently. We've all shared something unforgettable. Being a part of the Greenway class of 2025, we will remember the big milestones and the little things such as skipping first hour, calling in sick, and even walking the halls on our last day.
I am glad to call you my siblings. To my little brother who I work so hard to inspire. I hope you use my experiences and advice to make your own path. I hope one day to see you across that river. I dedicate this last part to my of my speech to my hardworking parents, my mother and father who dirtied their hands to ensure my remaining clean. [Music] Mommy, class of 2025, the future awaits. Congratulations, class of 2025. Thank you. And now, our incredible vocal ensemble. [Applause] If you hear this [Music] message, I'm calling every gener ation. We can't afford to wait.

Woo! [Applause] Graduates, today is a celebration of your hard work, perseverance, and resilience. Completing high school is a tremendous accomplishment, and doing so at one of the finest high schools in the valley makes this milestone even more meaningful. You have pushed through challenges, discovered your strengths, and found your voice. Be proud. This is your moment. But no one reaches this stage alone. Today is also about the people who stood beside you. The families who encouraged you, believed in you, and supported you through every late night and early morning. And your teachers, those who challenged you, guided you, and saw potential in you, even when you didn't see it in yourself. Their belief in you helped bring you here today. As you turn the page on your next chapter, whether that's college, a career, the military, or another path, carry with you the values, lessons, and confidence you've gained.
And I'm like, that's an awful lot of money that 270 plus or minus,000 for a mobile unit. And I don't know, it seems kind of expensive anyway because I think you could buy a double wide mobile home for that, you know, that type of house for a house. So anyway, um just throwing it out there. Um and I'm not real appreciate appreciative of the the term equitable. I don't really like that so much. Um they can right right now, especially with the climate of things. Um the title n stuff um equitable isn't a really good thing in my opinion. Um because especially like they're talking about the kids that maybe have are a little I don't know what you want to say more advanced in their learning. Thank you. Okay. Thanks. And again, I apologize for missing you on the first go around. Yeah. All right.
Uh, Cheryl Broy's here going to be retired. She thinks that's the case. I will offer to come pick her up every day next year if I have to because without Mrs. Broie and Mrs. Garrison in the front office. Uh, we would probably be a hot mess. They're always double-checking us. Uh, Cara is so kind. We uh, literally had this situation. I had to call her two days before and could we switch our transportation? we've got more kids going than we think and Cara always says, "Yeah, let me look into that." And she always comes through and Mrs. Broie always double checks all our paperwork and make sure we have it. So, without those two ladies, we would be in uh just thank you to them. They are very, very good at what they do. So, greatly appreciate and I'll pick Cheryl up if I need to next year.
Natalie Pew, she's sila quittian Razots, Nick Saberniac, Ricky Santana, Nora Sergeant, Mayor Sidhu, Sophia Snider, Yuki Swam, Nathan, William Taran, Nathan Udall, Marray Wallace, Miles Warren, Ryan Welsh, Abigail Wilson, myself, Mary Back. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Mr. Backnick, if you want to make a comment about the team or how you did this year. Thank you. So, our team grew quite a bit this year. Um, we had 54 members last year and we had 91 this year. There are 49 members, which was nearly the size of our entire team last year, which uh qualified for these commenations. So, I'm so proud of them. and they've worked really hard. Uh many of our members were new members this year and um our our senior members helped our new members and so it was just an incredibly successful year and so we're really hoping that we will continue to build on that success in years to come.
as well as um the importance of looking outward from where they're at right now. So, we were able to have educational experience as well. We went to Purdue and then the IvyTech campus here in Greencastle um to show students the educational possibilities that they have. Um a lot of the students never imagined themselves being able to go to college or have higher education. So just by going to IvyTech and saying there there's one in your backyard. There is higher education here that you can get as well as showing them some of the certifications and different trainings that they can get that aren't directly college related. A lot of the students that was exactly what they needed to hear to be able to pursue that. And then collaboration pretty much the rest of our time in class was spent doing projects that fostered connection. So they were working together.
Good. Okay. I'll turn it over to you. Thank you. So, I want to start off by thanking you for this opportunity for uh Mr. Hill and I to present our dlo school improvement plan this evening. And I feel like I'm going to give a lot of shoutouts and acknowledgements today in this presentation. So, I'm just going to start by shouting out Dr. Thomas from the Quinn School who gave Melissa Mckenry and I a shout out at her SIP presentation because we have been collaborating together on developing our SIPs. And she mentioned at her presentation that it was wonderful to be able to work with other elementary uh principles in the district on this important work. And I just want to like I said shout it back out to her and Melissa Mckenry. She's waving at me. uh and thank them for their support and their input on the SIP we're about to share tonight.
Thank you from everyone at school 8 for what you have done as a power union rep and a friend to all. Thank you. [Applause] Okay. Well, let's go down to the early childhood learning center. They have to be awake the earliest. Our par professional of the year is Gerald Dean Contrus. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and our 2025 teacher of the year from the Early Childhood Learning Center is Maline Teal. Let me turn it over to Dr. Grill. Thank you. Good evening, everyone. Mrs. Teal was unable to make it this evening, but I want to make sure that we recognize her for her outstanding service. I am proud proud to highlight Miss Maline Teal, a dedicated speech therapist at the James A. Garfield Early Childhood Learning Center. Now in her 13th year with the Garfield School District, Miss Teal brings passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to helping students find their voices.
Correct. We're rolling it in one grade level at a time because we didn't want to switch it with, hey, in kindergarten you learned the six syllable types with 95 and now you're learning 72 phonograms. So what we did is we rolled it into kinder and this year we did kinder and first. The plan is for next year to do kinder first and second and then kinder first, second, and third. Okay, we're excited to see how that rolls out because if my phonics are stronger, really my fluency should be stronger. Anita Archer would tell you the biggest prediction of comprehension is fluency. Um, and that's what the AASA or state test measures, right? And that gets to and we kind of cut short about what are possible next steps. So, as we're looking at next steps, you know, we could talk about continuing the countryside of pilot ne pilot next year uh which we had originally planned to do, expanding the pilot uh Spalding pilot to other schools or convening a committee to review the feasibility of expanding Spalding districtwide.
And while I've received awards such as the Achievement Above All Award and a certificate from and a certificate of excellence from the Glendo Police Department, nothing compares to the privilege of crossing the stage with you all today. To my family, Tiffany, Mrs. Marshall, and most importantly, Jesus Christ. Thank you for your love, support, and guidance. And thank you to everyone who is here with us today to experience this moment of achievement. Whether you are watching from the stands, watching at home, or watching from the heavens above. Class of 2025, we are just getting started. The world is waiting for us, and I know that we will make our mark. Congratulations. We made it. Thank you. [Applause] Thank you for those speeches, ladies and gentlemen, and congratulations again to our top 1% and student body president. I would now like to recognize the top 10% of this graduating class whose names are designated in your program.
These are the memories that tie us together even as we go our separate ways. Also, to my mom and my dad, thank you for always being in my corner. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. And to my grandma, who passed away in 2022, I carry your love with me, even if you're not around to see. As we close today, I have some advice for you all. Don't be afraid of change. Take risk and never dim your light for anyone. Congratulations to you all. We did it. Thank you. And now I'd like to introduce our senior class president, Mr. Boston Gatsby.

Not a problem. Um, our math team again was a state finalist. Social studies, which is normally not our strength, was a state finalist. English, first time in 10 years we've had an English team win. It's just been a really good season. I was looking back for the past 14 or 15 years, we've either had a state champion or a state runner up from Columbus North. So, it continues a pretty good tradition here. And we're always one of the top teams in the state. I'm very lucky. The coaches I work with are always really, really good and the students are outstanding. I just, like I said, just make sure we get places. So, I'm going to let Coach Vway say a few words here about the team. Good evening. Thank you for having us again here today to recognize this awesome team. Um, I want to take a second to recognize my B team who also participated in our district competition.
Our theme this year was um capture the moment and I feel like this has been a really big moment for all of us and so we just want to m make sure that we're present in this moment because when they were talking earlier for the team that you know this is going to be in the record forever. So maybe one day you'll be able to say to your children or whomever it is in your family that on this date in the year 2025 that your name is in the record. And so we are so proud of you. You guys have done an incredible job, but work so very hard. So thank you all. Thank you so much. Okay, great. We would have circled the room. That would have been a lot, right? Item 2.06 6 20242 Crown Point High School lap. First place in the sphere.
they were working with u people from the community would come in and speak different things. Um if you go to the next slide uh we had a lot of guest speakers come from near and far. So we had one come from Cincinnati and we had one from Indianapolis u Glenda Ritz the former um superintendent of public instruction. she was able to come to Green Castle and speak to our students, which was a pretty great experience um for them to get to see someone that knows education front and back. And then we had military and Putnham County Community Foundation. We had so many different guest speakers that I could have made like seven slides just with pictures of uh them. So basically, they got to see their path in other people's paths. And so that was good for guest speakers. Go to the next Um, one of my favorite opportunities that we were able to get for the students was they were able to build signs out of the scrap wood from the wood shop.
