I do want to acknowledge that this is the last uh SIP presentation, so you have probably heard quite a bit about school improvement plans. I'm going to try not to overwhelm with um any new acronyms or or things that um that you might not be too familiar with, but um you will see some common uh goals, some common action steps in our uh school improvement plan that look a lot like Potter and uh Quinn School's action steps. And that is because one, the principles did do a lot of work on this together. But two, it is really because all I'm trying to advance this, Mr. Hill, how do I advance this? Yeah. No, I did it. I figured that out. All of our work is driven by our district strategic plan. Mr. Hill and I affectionately refer to it as the north star. Yes. And so it will sound familiar.

Her work goes beyond speech therapy sessions. She is deeply invested in ensuring that every student has the tools and skills needed to communicate effectively. Miss Teal also takes the lead in organizing and facilitating both the ECLC lending library and the free little library to help ensure that all students and families have access to books. We are incredibly fortunate to have Miss Teal as part of our preschool program. Her dedication and compassion make a lasting impact on our students, families, and school community. At this time, I would like to congratulate Mrs. Geraldine Contras. Mrs. Contrus is currently a PAL professional at the James A. Garfield Early Childhood Learning Center, working in a 4-year-old inclusion classroom. This year marks her 24th year with the Garfield School District. Mrs. Contraras is a dedicated and invaluable member of our team. She consistently goes above and beyond in her role, always ready to mentor new staff members, willingly stepping in to cover shifts when colleagues are absent, and generously volunteering her time whenever there is a need.

I did kind of put in there some of the estimated time and cost. Um the time has to do with training teachers in the summer. You have to get teachers who are committed to coming to 40 hours of training in the summer or we would have to work it in throughout the 26 27 school year be early release Mondays or something for the next year. We could find 40 hours there. Uh Spalding does charge us about $800 a teacher. And then the materials uh so that's how much it'll cost a countryside next year. Expanding the pilot to another school would be about 7,600 per grade level. Um, if we just if we choose to do a committee to look at it at this time, it would be about 20 hours. Staff doesn't get paid to serve on committees. They do it um just to further their professional commitment and research in the field.

As our time at Greenway High School comes to an end, I'm filled with gratitude. The memories, friendships, and lessons we've shared have shaped who I am as a person today. We've laughed, struggled, grown, and now we celebrate what comes next. As this chapter closes, a new one begins. Let's carry the strength of Greenway and let's carry the strength and spirit of Greenway with us always. Thank you to every teacher, classmate, and moment that made these years unforgettable. I'm proud of what we've all accomplished and excited for all that is ahead. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my dad, my siblings, the rest of my family, and most importantly, my mom. Without your guidance and wisdom, I wouldn't be the man I am today. Thank you. Before I close, I g kindly ask Mr. Barnes to join me up at the podium. I have the privilege of presenting you with the 2025 senior class gift.

Before I address the graduates though, I first want to thank those who have helped them get to this important day. Parents, families, and friends of today's graduates. Thank you for your support, assistance, guidance, and maybe most of all, your patience during these high school years. Faculty, staff, and administration of Moon Valley High School. It is due in no small part to your dedication and your support that these students are well on their way to being productive, well educated, and active members of our community. Thank you, graduates. Congratulations. You are standing at a precipice. You are now adults with all that entails. The world is calling on you not just to show up, but to shape the future. Today, I want to talk to you about two things that may not seem flashy or like they even necessarily go together, but they do, and they are powerful.

Can I give you a little background to see if there's any discussion on this? So, the agreement that's in front of you is an agreement we've been working on with our FFA alumni association that the district has worked with since I've been here. Um, but we haven't had a formal written agreement. So, we've been working on this agreement for better part of a year, maybe even longer, trying to get uh verbiage together that was protecting of the district and equitable of the organization. So, there's been some back and forth with them. I think we've come to a good conclusion here that liability and things like that and understanding what their program is going to provide our students are in this document. we have an actual contract with them because we are giving them something and we're actually getting something in return for our students. So that's where this document comes from.

Uh, while they did not make it to state, they still had a ton of hard work that they put into the competition. So, Ava Burbrink, Alicia Singh, Manisha Mohatnney, Serenity Arnold, and Mia Anagua Gutierrez, which I hope I didn't butcher her name um were all a part of our B team. And again, they put in an immense amount of work to make it through our district competition as well. Here with me today, I have Addi Hobbs, Carrie Wang, Brian Wei, and Shrien Bethula was not here able to make it today. Addie, in addition to winning state for our English team, also placed third on our interdisciplinary team and third on our social studies team in the state competition. Krie was our team captain and she also placed third with our interdisciplinary team. I absolutely loved our season this year with my team. This was my first year coaching, so a lot of the um vibe this year was just to go try new things, hope that we have fun, hope that we're able to learn something along the way and then try to improve for next year as well.

Uh, they were able to sand it down, stain it, and paint them all with Christmas and winter and different things, even Green Castle School um, logos and whatever. And to sell to raise money for JAG to go on field trips or to have guest speakers, different opportunities. And it was really cool to get to see them build it from the beginning to the finished project. So we were we used the scraps from the wood shop. So that was all profit because they were like we're going to throw this away anyways. I was like we'll use it. Um and if you go to the next slide, we've have the community service which I wish we could have done more of. If we were uh more prepared or continuing on in the program, we would have been able to do a lot more community service. But we went to the Mill Pond retirement community and different things to help uh raise morale and just sit with them and talk with them.

I'd like to make a comment on the one of the slides, the percent of students at or above benchmark comparison all kinder and first grade. Well, when you on the uh first grade, you start with countryside at 30% and then they end up at the end of the year at 53%. So they do increase by 23%. And that's the same as freedom except they start at 75% and end up at 90%. So they're you know 15% higher. But I mean countryside did make did do well with the first grade with Spalding. I don't I don't I don't understand why the 23 24 is that because they got a substitute. 2324. I do believe Chantel did have one substitute. Huh. Yeah, there was a substitute that took over in Kinder. So that that is one of the limitations I guess of Spalding is when a sub comes in or someone comes in.

kindness and civic responsibility. Currently, and maybe always, the world is loud, opinions fly, tempers flare, the headlines are blaring, and social media is beckoning. Amid all that noise, it is easy to think that strength means shouting louder or winning every debate. But real strength, it often looks quieter. It is the courage to listen when it is easier to shout. It is the decision to show empathy when it is easier to be indifferent. It is making the choice to care even when the world feels cold and uncaring. Kindness is not weakness. It is nothing less than revolutionary. It is a vote for the kind of world in which you want to live. Every time you treat someone with respect, lift someone up or even just hold back a harsh word, you are casting that vote. But it doesn't stop there. Civic responsibility is kindness on a grand scale.
