>> Yes. And so the other thing I want to say about these numbers is these numbers were quoted with the idea that a couple years down the road there might be a little bit of inflation. So there's a little bit of padding in there that we might not need all of it. But depending on but what they didn't want to do is go out for the bond and say, "Hey, here are the things we're going to do." and then if inflation spikes a little bit that we're not able to follow through and then the community saying hey we wanted to pay to get these things done and we weren't able to do them. So they are a little bit padded but then when you look at and this is just the facilities without looking at the other bond projects it was about 48 million and so 4748 million and so um so yeah hopefully we can get some funded through school facilities division hopefully they'll come through that the hard thing with that is it it does take a year or so on some of them to get funded so but we're hoping to do that and then if we do that then we can use the bond money for other things or we wouldn't have to sell all of those bonds if we get the projects completed and so saved the community some money.

Plus, we had two individuals that made honorable mention, Caden Rice, his mom is here, and Brady Color. They both had to meet three conditions, GPA of 3.5 or higher, class rank of 25% or higher, and their SAT had to be 1,100 or higher.
