I'm not going to play cuz I'm terrible at it but it's okay. And then we're We're we're only halfway through. Like we're going to be doing an advanced candy dispenser later on in here, where you can like press a button and it'll open up some doors and some candy will come through and you're like I'm going to be eating a lot of candy. And we're only We're only about half of the way through with this semester, so I'm looking to make a lot more like very interesting stuff in this class. That's about it for me.
>> Good evening everyone. First, I would like to thank the superintendent and selection committee for this incredible honor. I've never imagined that this moment would come. This is a lot more than just an award to me. It shows the dedication I have, the challenges I face, and most of all shows the strength I built. When I first came to Aaho, I never imagined it would lead to this moment. All I wanted was to grow and to make the most of these opportunities. Along the way, I faced many challenges that have pushed me to work harder, stay motivated, and believe in myself. Those moments have helped me have helped shape me into what I especially thankful to the teachers and staff who have dedicated their time, energy, and heart to help those students succeed. Thank you for believing in me and helping me stay motivated. To my friends and family, thank you for always being by my side and helping me find the light in the darkness.
Um they've been standing there for 70 years. Um, but this without completely tearing it down and rebuilding it, this is what we came up with to improve the situation, try to tie everything together and stiffen it and minimize and reduce the amount of cracking moving forward. >> These would be the north and south walls, right, Phil? >> That's correct. >> Yeah. >> Along the east and west walls, that might be the next sheet here. >> Yeah, it was tight to the underside of the metal roof deck. Um, and everything seemed pretty stable in that location. Um, but what we're doing, if you scroll back up, >> keep going or no, >> this might I think what we I'm not seeing what Oh, here it is. We are wrapping. >> I'm trying to anticipate what you're doing with your fingers. Look, it's a touch screen. >> All right.
And I know that that's not a settling, you know, thing to hear, but I know I was talking today, um, Levi alluded, you know, I've been in this business for I'm in year 27. I can tell you this, I wasn't a grandma when I first got in this business and I am now. Um, but uh, but I've seen a lot of change over the years. It did not used to be common place when I was a young lawyer that we would see things like metal detectors in schools. We didn't see schools that had wands, you know, um things like that. We see that stuff now. It's pretty common, especially in some of the urban schools or in some of the larger schools. just the mere threats with social media and how easy it is to disseminate information at a mass level and do it very quickly.
um an up B, which is self-explanatory. Control stick up and press the B button, and down B, which is the same as up B, but instead of pressing up, you press down. >> Okay. >> Yep. And um and you have to be able to know which uh you have to know which moves h are with which character. >> It's a lot to know. >> Yeah. Not just with your character, but with the opponent's character. Like Eli has to know who uh all the tricks that Samus can use and know how he can exploit it to his advantage and stuff, >> right? >> So he can play defense then. >> Yep. He's got to play his defense well. >> And speaking of defense, it looks like Lakeland uh counterpicked to Yoshi. Actually, they uh they picked a Yoshi. >> All right, so since Eli lost a stock just like before, he's got to jump off the stage once to lose the one stock.
Uh, but these guys through teamwork, persistence, and a lot of trust in each other, they found their group. We couldn't do this without Sierra Sha and the Jag program. She's an intricate part of this and always partners with us. Um, so I'm very grateful for you, Sierra. The Madison Cubs Unified team made history by winning the first state championship in Indiana and in the country. Um, and by the way, our unified bowling team has also qualified for the state championship which is this Saturday. So, we're very proud of what we have here at Madison. >> Yes. So, we would like to recognize our athletes tonight. We have Kennedy Rowlet. Congratulations. >> Kennedy Rowlet gets two. >> We have Rachel Couch. Kira Aaylor, Tara Charlow, Max Web, Max Sylvia Singleton, Jesse Rubble, Maddie McAllister, I don't think she was able to make it tonight. And we also have our awesome coaches, Amy Long, Megan Sprung, Sierra Sha, and myself.
Sometimes uh there's a lot of exposures, electromagnetic fields on business trips that I didn't have in the house. Since that smart meter exposure, I became much more sensitive to the electrical environment around me. I never really had this problem that was a big problem. If I put a cell phone up to my head, it would hurt my head. If I touched the laptop, it would sting my hand. So, I didn't put the phone up to my head. And I didn't touch the laptop with my hands. Problem solved. And then I found that uh I would get I wouldn't feel well outside traveling. So when I'd come back to the house, the symptoms usually get better, but they weren't. They weren't getting better. Weeks later, they weren't getting better. And so then it occurred to me, well, these symptoms are awfully similar to what I had experienced before.
Does anybody have any questions? Yeah. Um, you guys, that was an excellent presentation. Thank you so much. We learned a lot. Up, do you have some more to share? Thank you. Sorry. Thank you for your time and support. >> Oh, our pleasure. Thank you all. That was an excellent presentation and we learned a lot about the lunch program and also a lot about what you all are doing as individuals. Um, and it's it's great news all around. So thank you. Yeah. >> Okay, next up and anyone who would like to leave it's it's okay to take off now or at any point. We will not be offended. You need to get on with your night. And next up will be the Pittaway pre-K update. When you're ready. You mean this is the one? I know. Okay. I will see how it goes. I've shared the whole document with everybody though just in case.
Uh we will be sending emails and updating statuses within the next hour. I'm going to turn back over to Greater Lawrence. Great. >> The results of tonight's lottery will be posted on the application portal shortly after the conclusion of today's lottery. Admissions results will also be posted on our GLTS Admissions website within 24 hours.

Students will have 10 calendar days to accept their offer. After accepting, you will receive guidance on the next steps including how to register for the fall term.
Um, thank you for having me. Um, this is mainly in concerns with what the Federal Street School PTO also mentioned. if we are looking to have more families in our community join our school and we love our schools. Um but we want more families to have the opportunity to come and be in our schools. Um, and so I would really love for the policies um to take a good look at the expectations for volunteers in our schools. And um if we could have the community engagement really take a look at that, that would make a lot of families happy and um more likely to want to volunteer in our schools. So that's that's it. Thank you. All right. My name is Rose Scrurof. Um I am a uh teacher at the middle school. Um and I love my job. Uh I'm a fifth grade teacher at the middle school.

And back in 2017, I set a very lofty goal. I actually told the whole staff, we are going to be a national Blue Ribbon School before I'm done with this school. And we were able to achieve that in 2 years. But we're not done, right? That's just one of the great many accomplishments. We've also been School of Distinction at least for 5 years since I've been in South Street principal. Uh, and we had it again last year. And it's not about numbers like we keep saying here, but it's really representing everything that we do. It's not just about academics. And one of the things that I really wanted to bring was more science into our curriculum and into our classes. You know, we're so heavily focused on ELA and math, and rightfully so. But science is one of my favorite subjects. And science is how we can grab the students' attention, how we can engage, how they can apply reading, writing, and math skills.
Unfortunately, it seems in this school district, not all children are treated equally. A lot of students that were on track last year are falling behind this year. And it is the outcome that will shape their lives. I want to highlight something. In San Jose, the number one spoken language at home is Spanish. um other than English with 1.7 million speakers. Chinese speakers is number two with 600,000 and this goes for Mandrin as well as Cantonese. The number three is Tagalic with 260,000 speakers and number four is Vietnamese with 180,000 speakers. So I ask, how do you expect students to thrive when they cannot get the attention they need from their teachers or proper support from the district? How do you expect teachers to give 30 students full attention? Well, you should get a tutor, we're told. But where are the resources? How do you plan to fix this problem inside of our classrooms?
Did anybody have any questions? Well, okay. I got to go to the next guy. And uh now I'll introduce Ike Hislop from our iTech 3 class. Uh I'm Ike Hislop. Uh I'm representing our iTech 3 program at Chico Junior. And I'm just going to go over the basics of what we've done so far this year. Uh I'm going to go off the slideshow. These are the cutting boards that Everett was talking about. So, we started off the year with um small engine diagnosis. So, basically we'd get like things like mowers and like two horsepower engines, and we'd bring them in the shop and they weren't running. And we'd basically diagnose what was the problem with them and then we fixed them up. And that was a lot of fun. We actually got to mow some grass and it's uh it's somewhere in the slideshow if I can find it.
They have shown me that this journey is not something that should be done alone. Receiving this recognition motivates me to keep striving to continue to give my all and to work towards making a positive impact in other ways. I'm deeply honored and promise to carry this encouragement with me as I continue on my journey. Thank you all so much. President will start with our sixth grade student of the month. We will have Mr. Richard recognize his student and he has a certificate before his students.
So, this gray shade area here, that one is we are wrapping the entire top of the wall, couple of courses with a um fiber reinforced polymer fabric. Basically reinforcing typically at the top with CMU, you know, concrete block walls, there is a bond beam which gets reinforcing steel rebar placed in it and routed and that just ties that entire top wall together all the way around the building that was not in place on your wall. And rather than tearing it down, trying to install that, which would be you guys, that would be nearly impossible to do, we are just going to face um the block with this reinforcing fabric material to try to create that bond beam effect at the top of the wall and then grab a hold of it at the at the steel location. >> And so you're you're saying that on the east west walls, correct?
People unfortunately will abuse, you know, social media and they will use it for reasons sometimes that are are not good. I was talking with the superintendent. I touch, as Levi said, about 75 of the public schools in Indiana. We have 290 some. My firm touches over 200 of them. So, we see a lot of schools in Indiana and stuff that goes on. My superintendent down at New Albany Floyd County was on the phone with me this afternoon. They're a large district, probably 11 12,000 kids somewhere in there. And I was telling him I was going to be coming to a a public safety um work session tonight. And you know I said sometimes you know people become concerned because there'll be a threat could be totally bogus that goes out you know over social media and people react to that and he said Michelle I can't tell you how many times every week we get that down here.
>> All righty. >> So, off he goes. Does a does a down be for some reason. Like there was no one below him, but oh well. They both taunt and they're ready to go. And he's immediately charging up that punch. >> Yep. >> Good hit. >> That was a pretty good hit. Actually, that dash attack. I call it the DK bowling ball cuz he like >> looked like a bowling ball. >> Yeah, cuz he looked like a bowling ball. Mhm. All right. Just just throwing out as many moves. >> Just doing as many moves as they can. vacuum. >> How does it look like behind the scene? My My cheers get pretty loud behind the scenes. Is that what happens behind the scene when they're playing? >> What's that? >> Behind the scenes? >> Yeah. Did they get pretty loud when they're playing? >> I would say so.
Stay there. Thanks, guys. Thank you so much for having us here to recognize the ISMA vocal solo and ensemble um competitors. Um all of these young ladies, we had four who went to the state competition. um they had to earn a gold rating at the district level in order to compete at state and I was very proud of all of them. They all did a great job. First we have uh Susanna Bailey. She could not be with us tonight. She earned a gold rating state. We have Chelsea Dillo. She is here. Earned a silver rating at state. She did very well. We have Claire Miller earned a gold with distinction rating. And we have Gabrielle Vest who is also not able to be here tonight. Gold with Good job. solo team member Scott. >> All right. Okay. First of all, I'd like to say thank you to the board and to Dr.
So I ran around to the back of the house and sure enough, they had installed the smart meter again. Oh boy. And so I was still very lucky that this other electrical problem that the utility was was supposed to fix hadn't fixed thankfully. So I had the business card of the technician who took the meter off the first time and he came I told him like you know hey we still have this three voltage problem. He's like ah okay well I I can take the meter off a second time for you be out there on Monday. He took the meter off again. The depression lifted. The arrhythmia improved, the headaches improved, the insomnia went away, aches and pains. Again, two total cycles. All of these symptoms, this all of these clusters of symptoms started immediately when that meter was installed, and they all went away when that meter went away on two separate occasions.
