can go ahead and move on. Um, is there any public comments or anything, Hilda? Sorry. Um, no, there have there was not. Okay. Um, so we're going to go ahead and start. I wasn't at the last meeting and so I didn't know what to um, adjust or like take out. So I figured I would just use the exact same agenda I had planned for that January meeting and then you guys can let me know if you're already there um, or you've already finished all of those things. So um, for today we're going to finish up the student conduct, the code of conduct and then we were going to hopefully start looking at the clubs and activities. Um, but does somebody want to give, I guess just to me, but Evan and uh, James, what did you all get to? I was only there for like the last 15 minutes.
Hello, I'm Priscilla Gossett. I'm the principal at Madison Park Middle School. We are a STEAM school in the Madison School District. And welcome to Park. Park is very fortunate to have the ability to offer two signature programs to our students in fifth through 8th grade. The first one is the steam signature program where we emphasize science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. Also, the other signature program we're lucky to house is the REACH program, and that is a program for highly and profoundly gifted students. The Steam style of learning is all about hands-on. It's a lot of labs and projects and practical learning to see how those principles connect, how STEM, technology, engineering, art, and math are in the world all around us. I would describe the steam program at Park as innovative, challenging, and by challenging, I feel in the best way possible. It pushes my kids out of their comfort zone into trying something new.

This time more charge actually. Yeah, they're kind of just jumping around. So, they're fighting on Final Destination at the moment because Final Destination is the uh selected map today for this week anyways. And uh one thing to note about it is the fact that it doesn't have any platforms. So, they're so they're probably going to have to maneuver really well on the flat ground, you know.

Okay, so then um, so Amy had mentioned to me that there were some questions that I had put that she wasn't sure what I meant.
At Park, we have lots of opportunities in the elective choices for students to really enhance that steam knowledge. We have a STEM art class where students really learn how artists use science, technology, math in the field of art and vice versa. We have a game-on class where students are actually creating and building games. Then there's the maker space class where students are creating different designs and ideas. They learn how to use air compressors, 3D printers, the saws, the drills. We also partner with a company called GenTech to offer different levels of steam classes throughout your whole time that you're here at Madison Park, which has proved very valuable to ourselves and the students. GenTech is a STEM education company. We have partnered with Madison Park to bring our curriculum and our equipment here in class for students to use. And essentially what it is, we take the standards that need to be met in Arizona and we go above and beyond them, prepping students for different career paths that they may want to take in STEM.
We'll move on to the superintendence report. Dr. Lopeman. >> Thank you, President Coutree. With just months to go until the doors open, Alma Ferrell Innovation Academy is quickly moving from blueprint to reality as we prepare for its July 2026 launch. Members of the governing board recently toured the campus, walking through spaces at varying stages of completion to see firsthand how voterapproved bond dollars and school facilities division funding are being brought to life for students. Designed to serve up to 1,200 students, the first MUSD K8 campus will feature multi-grade learning houses, dedicated literacy spaces, maker space environments, collaborative commons, and an indooroutdoor amphitheater. Guided by the vision igniting minds, building futures, the school will implement the Arizona State University next education workforce team teaching model and embed workbased learning from kindergarten through 8th grade, delivering an innovative learning experience for Maricopa students. Hats off to our MUSD business department for earning the certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting from the government finance officers association.
All right, Cloud hitting his upbey and he just charged his limit, which makes all of his special moves even better. Speaking of special moves, Sepharoth uses his special move to a to get Cloud off the ledge at the cost of his own stock and and Cloud didn't even lose a stock of his own. Sepharro's going to have to really put in the work to get him. All right, he uses an upbe again to get back to the stage, but he gets hit again by Cloud's neutral special, but he's up special does manage to take Cloud off of the right side. He does a dash attack, bringing in this new stock with a ton of extra damage. Cloud's over there charging his limit. Yep. Sepharoth is not going to let that fly though. Yep. Doing dash attacks. Oh, but a down air. But a down air from Cloud.
