But it was like under under the lanterns or something. Lots of purple and gold. It was super fun. I was there. The fun way after everyone talks about and everyone goes to. It's not like anyone goes off and does something else just because it it's just a really special thing. We have lots of raffles happened. Um, they were giving out like TVs and hundreds of gift cards, which was super cool. Uh, pickle ball club, we already went over that. So, pickle ball club, Kush is in the second bottom left picture. He's playing. He's one of the starters. And then the team is the second top left picture. So, they have a lot of people for this brand new club. And then middle school, they are going to iFly for like an end of the year celebration, sixth grade. So, they're going all throughout this week, which I mean, that's fun.

Okay. So, we surveyed the teachers and this was some of the feedback that they uh provided us. But before we get here, I'm going to skip forward. Here were the results. The results were 73% overall total K2 majority was um in favor of UFly. The one group that came close would be kindergarten. They were 50/50 splits, but overall K2 together it was a 73% towards UFly. So what we explained from the beginning is we were going to be using UFly. Then whichever one was voted their their top one that would be the core instruction um early literacy program that we would be using. The other one in this case benchmark we would then regroup and then redistribute to our interventionists next year to use for intervention. So those students who are really needing that extra dose of support, they'll have UFly as their foundational early literacy, but benchmark we already paid for.

Is that why I guess are we giving them to be blunt lower quality food to stay even? I don't I don't think that uh uh organic Yes. I I I realize if you use their the title of their company, Organic Life, and you're thinking about the type of food that they may serve, uh that that could be um misleading. Uh however um I can tell you just based on the numbers that I see um coming in uh when I compare the the lunch uh revenues uh that we bring in from lunch fees yeartoear uh especially in the last two years uh because that's basically uh last two years uh would be postcoid. So we we've gotten a pretty good representation. we have seen increases uh even from month to month uh in the um in our food service uh accounts. So um the quality of food I happen to believe has come um has has progressed light years ahead from what I remember it.

No, no, no. I'm I'm here to answer your questions. Yeah. like I I know that uh summer school is a resource that we can offer our kids, you know, and we want our kids to be up here educationally, you know, academically. Um and it's like if if we're scrambling, if we're if we're doing everything last minute, like how can we expect our kids to be up here when we're doing everything last minute down here? So, I um when you say last minute, I don't know what you're referring to because it's not I don't know that it's last minute. Uh just because uh other other schools because I told you the I talked to uh the school members at other schools at the speed meetings, they had everything already set. Every everything was um invites had gone out. teachers were were they knew what the schedule was and um and I think huh I said what you talking about?

Looks like we have Nathan Yel Cardardoo on the mound. I apologize if I'm saying your first name wrong, but called Cardoozo. Give a little opportunity to warm up here. I didn't see if he was warming up and throwing uh on the side. I talking coach before the game, some of the uh middle school pitchers, kids that you know have been kind of growing up being pitchers were pulled up to the freshman team of the high school. Um so, you know, some of these seventh graders that haven't pitched on a you know, big mound before, you know, 60 foot mound, uh have to step their game up and learn how to throw a different kind of pitch.

It's an excellent tool for teaching body awareness and communication, he said. I bought some glow stick bracelets to differentiate teams, taped some glow sticks to the backboard for a light source, and greeted my first class of the day with almost as much enthusiasm as they had. Well, my first class was a class consisting of several of the boys on this stage. And within 15 minutes, they were fouling each other in the dark spots of the gym, literally two hand pushing each other onto the floor. I shut down the activity that day, but in all seven of my other classes, it went smoothly and without issue. Flash forward to this year. These boys are now nearly men. Some of them, from a distance, look like grown-ups, and several of them are the fastest people in the gym right now. Still, if you interact with them for more than 30 seconds, you realize they are still kids.

Uh Arizona Revised Statue is always a good time. Uh these are gambling dollars. Uh there was a a voter approved initiative uh with the gambling dollars and a portion of those um come to us. It's very restricted what we can spend that on. Um and it is subject to supplanting. Oh, there's a missing P. I'm gonna fix I'll fix it. Uh, supplanting is an interesting concept that um most grants are subject to supplanting. Um, and uh a lot of the different funding buckets are subjected to supplanting. What supplanting means is I'll give an example. So, let's say I have uh four nursing positions and I'm paying them out of that maintenance and operation bucket and then all of a sudden says, "Hey, we have this nursing grant uh for just paying for nurses." I cannot pay any one of those four nurses. I have to add and support.

And to all the teachers, faculty, and staff for making these past four years a memorable chapter in our lives. And especially a huge thank you to this class for making it the best graduating class Washington has ever seen. This chapter is finally coming to a close. Make sure the rest of your life is the best of your life. And as Mac Miller once said, "Oh yeah, I just graduated high school." Congratulations, class of 2025. I look forward to all the amazing things each and every one of you will accomplish. Thank you, and may your journeys be prosperous. [Applause] Seniors please [Applause] rise.

I don't think I ever went to to iFly, but something new to try. And then our last slide just has pictures of where all the seniors are going to. This is like two pixels, so you can't tell what anything is, but they're spread all around, so it's really fun. Um, I also wanted to say Lisa Hatfield was uh awarded recently. Like, we got to hear from her. I had her in fifth grade and I talk about fifth grade band class all the time with my friends. We had All City the other day and I was just talking about how all of our percussionist we got bandana on and like got bandanas and I don't know it was just a really special class and I don't think I've ever appreciated something as much as I have with that because she started a community that I don't there's nothing really that matches that.

We're going to make use of it. It becomes our tier 2 intervention for those students who need an extra dose of literacy instruction, literacy foundational instruction. So, back to what the teachers had said, some of the common threads were it was super easy, that they love the routine, that they saw a growth in their students, that the students could verbalize um why something was spelled a certain way. It wasn't just about memorized spelling, but they started to understand the nuances and rules that go into spelling. Um teachers voice that there were many resources, support groups, that it was interactive, there were games, it was hands-on. In addition to this, we did also purchase blending boards, magnetic letters, whisper phones. They're actually pretty cool. You have a little phone you talk to. The kids read to themselves and then they can hear themselves reading um versus just reading out loud like this.

I also have a fifth grader in a different room. So, the pop bottle is something I got to hear lots and lots about. And it was exciting to have a project to do at home and a project that got my child excited about learning more about this individual than the surface. There was a lot of talk about Picasso in my house for about a month because this was a long project. So, it is always really nice to see our one see our students here. It's why we're all here. Um and two to know that they are finding that the students are also finding joy in learning in different ways. Um, otherwise, congratulations to everyone who got elected tonight. Congratulations to everyone who's got their position and good luck with everyone. We got a little over a month left and I know we can all do it.

Now granted that's going back years and years and years. Um but just based on what we see from people consuming uh and the amount that's being spent um we are seeing revenues increase. If we were seeing revenues decrease that might lead to a conversation about what can we do to really boost the the revenues here. I don't disagree with that. I just I'm thinking like now that I'm been out and about in the education world working and seeing other lunches are so fresh like all the time and of course they're spending a little bit more. So like why are ours not the same? And when you look at their website, they give like these beautiful examples of meals like brown rice and fresh quesadillas and like um just like even the descriptions like oh organic beef enchiladas right here. Like we don't ever see anything good, you know, bread sticks, mac and cheese, fame pancakes from a frozen container.

It's it's a little bit of a learning curve. Everybody has to do it, but it takes a little while to get yourself set and figure out how, you know, how to throw pitches 15 feet further than you used to. It also looks like he's ready. Hopkins is able to put two runs so far up on the board here. Top of the fourth inning. Base is loaded, one out. Really tough situation for Koso to come in on, especially with Paulo getting up here at bat. You got to double the first inning. I think you got a hit second at bat. also have to face him if his first batter. So, here we go. Top of the fourth, one out, bases loaded. Right right knee level. He gets way under that ball. It's foul. Nobody can get to that ball. That ball's out of play. Quickly behind.
