Um we do have the 18th is our next board meeting. It is a week early, just a reminder. Um so make sure you mark your calendars for that. >> Okay. Anything else? All right, we'll start this stuff. Uh, so I don't really have anything major specific. Um, I kind of usually have or try to have some of the cute things that are going on over there. Um, I just kind of want to recap because I know our big focus right now obviously is funding and finances. What's it look like? What's the moment look like? Those things are very important. Um, just kind of wanted to give the reassure reassurance that Craig and I are constantly monitoring that, watching that. Um, the state has really thrown us some doozy this year. They really have. Um, and we've communicated all those changes as they've happened. Um, any new one that I've gotten, made sure to let Craig know as soon as, you know, we could.
>> Sure. It's called Auction It. Now, Auctionit is an online and inerson auction platform that can help your nonprofit host a great charity auction. So, you could so you guys at home can all find out more at auctionit.io. That's auctionit.io. kind of like uh that one game with the balls, Agario. Agar.io. >> Alrighty. >> I think we should reshout out our favorite internet provider. >> And since you have not done one yet, maybe you should do it. >> Right. It's right there. >> Do the honors. Do the honors. >> Do the honors of shouting out Adam's Wells.com. So, a huge shout out to our local internet provider, Adam's Wells Internet Telecom. They are directly responsible for esport esport players like Scott and I and Jordan in the past >> to be able to compete because of their incredibly fast and reliable fiber internet service. >> If you're in the market for internet or telephone service, check out adamswwells.com.
Um, having said that, we know we know we've got to watch that and we are. Um, I'm nicely surprised at where we're sitting, where it's been going. Yes, we still have to monitor. Yes, we still have to watch. Um, but even given the shift in funding and where things are coming from, enrollment this year is higher than what it was last year. And I'm still seeing like we're just the two first two weeks of February, I brought in five new students and I'm talking to an 11 more. So, it's still they're still coming in. Um, we're not we don't have empty rooms. We don't have, you know, there's not a shortage there. So, just kind of a quick little recap on how that's going.
That's >> adamswwells.com. >> Yeah. Yeah. That was that was really well done. >> Really well done. >> We've got we've gotten some practice in on that actually. We've done it a lot. >> Practiced it in the mirror and stuff. >> Last split I had every shot memorized for. >> Nice. >> That dedication to >> that is dedication. >> Solo streaming for over half. >> But I will say it is worth it. >> Can I join? >> Oh. >> Little golf clap from Jaden in the background. >> Let's see what the room's looking like. getting pictures taken actually. Let's look at that. That's good, >> bro. Oh my god. I was in there and Manning he was like, "Wait, this is the official match, right?" And then he they were like, "Yeah." So he immediately got up, turned at me and started going click click click click click click click click click.
Um, any questions? >> I'll get a little political. How So, the state just came out with So, their whole idea of cutting funding is, well, we'll just allow more kids to go in the room. How many 5-year-olds are allowed in a room with two adults? >> 31. >> So, their ratio is they say we can put 31 5-year-olds in a in a classroom with two adults. That's their fix to we're cutting funding. You just get to put more people. We for the record we are not putting 31 5-year-olds in the classroom. >> If if you look this up online, which you can all childcare programs, you can look this up. You will see our capacity. I believe it says it 219 something like that. That's if a good portion of those rooms had those 31 children in them. So, but all age groupings, all of those went up.
And I went, "Oh my god." Click click click click click click. >> And then I like I accidentally looked at the camera and he's like, "No, look away." And then so I was like, "Okay, well the finisher screen." And then >> you got to act natural. Maybe he's doing a stop motion type thing. >> That'd be cool. Maybe like in the corner of the yearbook there's like a flip book of you. >> I mean I'm pretty sure uh Kayla Morgan, she did varsity quotes. >> Mhm. I remember she quoted me when I was on the varsity of the Tetris team. >> You know what my quote was? >> What was it? >> Tetris is nice. >> That was that was it. Tetris is nice. >> That's a pretty good quote. Pretty >> myself. I will say I'm a pretty big fan of Tetris. >> Yeah.
every single one. So instead of one adult taking care of four babies, they can now take care of five. >> Um whereas with our one-year-olds, instead of being able to take care of five, they can now take care of six, but others have increased even higher than that. Um a 1:1 ratio for a three and four year olds, you're looking at 10 to 12. We're looking two to three more per staff member. And that's I'm sorry, it's just not >> And how many daycare shut down in Indiana this year? >> Over 200. >> Mhm. over 200 because of these hits, because of the changes, right? >> So, >> does it look like the vouchers are going to come back next year >> to some degree? >> I So, do I know? No, I have no idea. What do I think? I think no. >> Okay.
>> Yep. All right. So, it looks like looks like they're kind of just thinking right now, thinking about what they're what's going to happen. >> The Yoshi >> looks >> they don't have a yarn Yoshi from the Yoshi game, >> but they do have a fuzzy Yoshi. >> A felt Yoshi. >> I guess you could call it a felt Yoshi, but I like to call >> someone. And I thought I was a fan of video games. >> This is an intervention. >> Actually, I think it's >> I think it's one of my downloads. >> Delete it. >> Deleted. >> Or should you say delete it? >> Dee. >> All right. Dang. >> Hit him with a bottle. >> Dang. When Yoshi Yoshi got that grab, I felt that. >> He felt that. >> Yeah, cuz he's made out of felt and stuff. >> Ah, >> too bad.
>> Um, what we keep hearing is no new ones till 2027. Um, and last I heard that waiting list was between 20 and 30,000 children. So, as we look at this and we go forward and we watch, it's not an early learning at Mccoma problem. >> It's much bigger than that. So if you're ever out there and you're having conversations, just in the back of your mind, >> it's we can't fix it without help. >> We can get creative. We can try. We need to look at other funding sources. Sure. But with our community, the help has to come from outside. I tell you that because you got to be proud as a board that we're able to maintain a daycare because uh it's something that is terribly difficult. I mean we're watching >> all the time we're we we >> I say monthly but I mean it's like even in between that where we're watching.
His eggs for the non. >> Are his eggs also felt? Like the eggs that he fires out with his upy? Are those also felt? >> I think so. >> Cuz I think they change color depending on the Yoshi you kick. >> That might be true. Well, let's check when he throws another egg. if he throws another egg. >> He hasn't he hasn't really been throwing eggs in terms of things. But speaking of throwing, KK Roll's been throwing that crown. And that's actually a pretty good thing because the crown has a lot of super armor on King Kru when he throws it. Not to mention it goes like back and forth, so it can hit you twice. Yeah. >> All right. Yoshi trying to land with a down air, but King Kru just shielding that. He's like, I don't want none of that. And that's a good thing because well, we know how Yoshi's down air is.
>> So we're watching that to make sure we're meeting our bottom line. Um and it's a great service to our community. Uh I think some of those kids would I mean some parents would struggle to work without us. So yeah, I'd be proud that we we have that opportunity for our kids. Have we lost any daycarees in the vicinity? >> Um, not that I'm aware of. >> I don't think so. Which this area really didn't have a whole lot of them. >> Yeah, we really didn't. >> We didn't have much to start with. >> This has been a big benefit to the community. >> So, I think if you look up Miami County online, there's only a couple that are registered with the state. >> Us being we took up two of those. Thank you. >> Who's going first? We'll let you guys finish. >> We'll just We'll just go from youngest to oldest there.
There's a lot of hits and they hit for a lot. It's crazy. Don't want to get in that. Sending out another crown and shielding. Playing a very patient game, I will say. Just trying to zone Yoshi out with projectiles. And if Yoshi does get close, he usually hits like a smash attack and he backs off. >> Ooh, and his air game is awesome as well. Hitting that back air, sending Yoshi away. Oh, and he also manages to hit his upbeat, which is really crazy. Oh, Yoshi getting a force smash of his own, sending King Ku off to the left side of the stage. >> Oh, I couldn't I couldn't tell if that a felt or not. >> I couldn't either. >> I wasn't looking. >> Oh, that's okay. >> We can look back in the bot though whenever >> it up. >> That's true. >> Because we have a three minute delay.
So, >> not people. I meant kids. >> Sorry. >> So, uh just to reiterate what Mr. Jernigan had shared. Yes. Um ReadAcross America week is next week, Read Across America Day. Um, and so there'll be different little events each day and I know that Mrs. Kade has put together um, a list and sent that out. So we have lots of guest readers and other folks that are going to come and read for our kids at both Pike Creek and at Mackel and they really enjoy that. In the middle of ReadAcross America week, we also have I read testing. So I read testing will be happening next week as well. And a huge shout out to all of our teachers to um, Mrs. Lauren, Mrs. Harwell, uh, Mr. Clayton for all the work they've done to provide interventions for our kiddos that we knew were struggling in um at the beginning of the year and they've been working so hard and so we're anticipating good things coming out of Irene.
>> That is true. And the reason we have that is cuz we we just don't want the other teams like stream sniping us. >> We don't want no stream snipers. >> Yeah. That that that's kind of annoying. >> You're a bad guy or girl if you dream snipe someone. It's not good. >> Yeah, don't do it. >> All right. Jumping away and doing a board smash. Nice. That's the thing. Oh man, King Rules at 200%. >> I know he did that last round where as soon as he took the stock, he ran off the stage and did an upbeat right back. I wonder why he does that. Is it like a I don't know, three round ritual or something? It might be. >> It might just be muscle memory. >> That's true. >> It might be what he was taught to do. >> That's true.
Um but do keep those little kiddones in your prayers because that is a it's a stressful time for them. It really is. And so a lot rides on that. And so we want to give them the opportunity. Things have changed this year as well. So we have more students testing. We have some that are in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade that are actually testing because if they moved in from out of state and or they were homeschooled and they moved into our school corporation this year having never taken it, that they still have to um take the IV test as well. So, the state has continued to change things for us every year. And so, we do everything we can to keep up with that and we'll have more updates as um the rest of the year goes on, but those results will not become public and for a while.
>> That he plays a lot with Deacon and Eli. >> Oh, they do. He does. >> Yeah. Him, Beacon, and Eli all are usually playing. >> Oh, down smash and an up tilt. I think I saw that when I was in there. >> That is one of his main combos is >> down throw into like forward or up or up smash. >> Yeah. usually throws him into the ground and does a tilt. >> That makes sense. King Kroll's tilt do a lot of damage, >> I'd say. So, >> Mhm. A forward there, knocking King Kroll off to the left, but he just uses his propeller. He gets up kind of just holding shield and Yoshi answering with a neutral layer. All right, throwing plenty of eggs. Plenty of eggs. Speaking of eggs, I actually >> I guess that's fair. Save on assets. Oh, the reversal.
So, you won't get that um information. we won't be able to share that for a bit. Um, good things coming up as well are the fact that we're going to be having our MCONA roundup and so that is April 9th from 4:30 to 6:00 and that is for our child care, for our preschool, and for our kindergarten. So, we're posting that, putting that out. So, anybody that you talk to about that, um, I've already been contacted by some folks, uh, interested in coming to our school corporation. And so, we're looking forward to this. It's a great event. And so if you can come out and you can meet some of the patrons that are out there and be able to see who comes and who's involved in this, um it's a great opportunity to see the newest members of our school corporation that are going to be joining us.
The turnound back air. That is awesome. >> That's amazing. >> Deep in his last shot going into the next round. That is absolutely amazing. >> Have you ever wondered how much it would hurt to get bit by Kru? >> Yes. >> Yeah. Look at how sharp those teeth are. The chompers. >> That is >> chompers. >> That is terrifying. >> Also, I don't think Yoshi has teeth. >> I don't think so. But it makes a little bit more. >> But it makes like a chewing sound when he grabs you and you do a grab attack. >> You can chew with your gum. >> Grinds you. >> That's true. Maybe just pushes you. >> It might. He Maybe he doesn't even have gums. They just like disl >> That would make sense because how are you going to fit a like seven foot crocodile in a 4 foot dinosaur with >> That's true.
So um those are kind of the big things that we have going on. Um again, unfortunately for us, we are in um at our level a lot of testing season because as soon as we're done with IED, we turn around and we have iLearn checkpoints just before we go on spring break. We come back and then we'll have iLearn at the end of April. Um and so it's fun. It's good times. Um so but again kudos to our teachers. Oh one more thing we've had um return visits from Kevin Dill who is our behavior consultant who has come and worked with us for uh working with our teachers and our staff. We've had some really challenging behaviors this year um at all our levels and we got great responses back from that as he did additional walkthroughs to see the progress that people have made to see the things that we've put putting in place and how we've been able to support our students.
Looks like the opposing team has picked a character. >> Let's check what that is. >> Yoshi. >> It looks to be a Kirby. >> Looks to be everyone's favorite Kirby. >> Blueberry Kirby. Blueberry Kirby. >> Oh, I do. >> I don't. >> Well, King was pink. >> That's That's a good one. >> Although it's raspberry blue in this sense. >> Oh man, plenty of up tilts. Unfortunately, King K Rule has a lot of is a really big guy, so Kirby has a lot of surface area to work with in terms of blaming his attacks. Unfortunately, Man, he is pretty dominant right now. King Kru can't get a hit in unfortunately. And since he and since Kirby is so small, it's pretty hard to hit him with all of uh with all of uh King Kru's projectiles, you know, since he can easily jump over a lot of them.
