We can look at it on here. Thanks. >> That's what I have. >> This one's 37. Awesome. >> This is uh James Road. Okay. This is the larger parcel, 123 Pawn Street and 37 James Road. You can see James Road is a little L-shaped uh lot uh of roadway at the uh top part of the plan. The uh parcel is about 11 acres and it is a parcel that has little individual pieces that were cut out on a previous plan for reasons we do not know by McCarthy and Sullivan. Um but those are uh all basically merged for zoning purposes. And this is an ANR plan showing the totality of the property for two reasons. The first is because of um transferring we're going to be uh selling the uh we're going to be acquiring the property and the um deeds were very uh vague and complex with all those parcels.
At the state championship, 1227D stood out as the only team to take on the extra challenge of handling the beam to score points. In an alliance with partner team 1227A, they tied for second place teamwork champions. Tremendous job, guys. The highlight of their season came during the skills competition at the state championship where their strong driving and programming earned them third place. Because of this outstanding performance, team 1227D became one of the only three teams in elementary division to earn an invitation to the 2026 VEX IQ World Championships. Almost done. They will compete at the World Championships in St. Louis, Missouri from April 28th to the 30th. Congratulations and good luck. Cool. So, you can I can narrate while you guys go if you want. Um, so this is their robot and um they have the pins. So, they're trying to score the pins into the beam and then they lift up the beam on other things and >> and they build it from pieces.
Let all creation shout aloud with humili. It's true. Praise the Lord and be praised. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord in the city of our Lord God of the Holy Mountain. Is the Lord in the city of our Lord God of the mountain will be our for the Lord.

So we did have quite a few last year that were eligible for retention. Now many most of them we did scoot up because they would fell into those categories. But yeah, and that's part of the reason we were working to try to build the skills with the 95% group that we're using now. Um because we recognize we're really missing the phonics piece of reading. I was going to I was going to say that. So I'm really glad that Jim did. um now that we've now that we have screeners clear up, you know, not just K3. Um we're noticing that there are a whole lot of the older kids who who don't have phonics. Yeah. And if you don't if you don't have phonics, then you can't decode and and if you can't decode, you can't comprehend. So our new tools are helping us identify some of the specific skills that we need to work on.
Have you seen teachers disciplines in your classes? And how? Eighth grade? Yes. By sending kids to the office? Seventh grade? Yes. By giving them a write up for saying inappropriate words. Sixth grade. Yes. By sending them into the hallway and chatting with them and then they make the kid apologize. Do you think anything should be changed about how they discipline? Eighth grade. Sometimes, but it depends on the severity of what the kids did wrong. Seventh grade. No, because the kids need to learn discipline and consequences. Sixth grade. Yes, because subs will frequently say something about one kid, but the teacher will yell at the whole class. How has Athenian Central and the Shield trips affected our school? >> Athena Central is where students can go to spend stickers they've earned. Teachers reward students that display the core values with stickers. These stickers are treated as currency and can be used to buy items such as principal for the day, teacher of the day, stress balls, school supplies, and more.
Um and we were actually able to get um $10,000 from that. Um and as you can see here is just part of the equipment that we have. Um we brought in We also partnered this with the PVE program where we brought in um we had coffee makers, we had uh carts, shelving, we had anything from We had crickets, a laptop, iPads, anything that we needed to teach these kids to use some of their their abilities to for job skills afterwards. So, um that and like and as you can see here, you know, this is just some of the stuff that we were able to purchase that we could put together with those kids. So. So, some of our endeavors included making some crafts to sell St. Mary's. Uh we made different things, Christmas ornaments, t-shirts, mugs were filled with candy, keychains, pens, um and all kinds of different things that we were able to sell uh to generate some funds for our program.
And uh it's a great show. There are so many people in here that's going to make you laugh, make you cry maybe, and there's some music and singing and dancing and and everything. >> all. They got it all. Every genre, every decade, all of it. Well, thank you so much. I appreciate it and go go get get go get ready for opening night. I'm going to bring Chrissy Pearson here. This is Chrissy Pearson with three E's. Yes, that's right. Is this three E's? What are you doing tonight? What is What are you performing? I have a performance called Head to Toe. Let's just say her love language is physical touch and I'm doing Meditator. I All I know is that I've seen that a couple of times and I had to go to McDonald's and get fries. So, I'm really looking forward to tonight's performance and I am looking forward to seeing you on stage twice.
So we have a single parcel of this particular site and the second reason is that it will protect use of zoning for three years. Uh you can see that there's access from James Road to an existing house that is now empty. It's still a viable house at the end there. Yeah. And then the rest of the property is an old um uh abandoned construction yard uh use in the back of the property to the left and upper leftand part of the plan. It's all wetlands. Um, and then there's a sewer and water easement that comes in along James Road and continues into the condos behind the property and that has a uh sewer line and a water line which will um be maintained in that location. So this is simply an ANR plan to advise the register of deeds that they can record this plan um and that there's no subdivision uh involved.
So, they just get a pile of pieces and then they have to brainstorm and develop their robot design. the edge of the ticket. Um, and then they are able to there's more components on the field that they can score and goals that they pledge into. It's a very cool game because it's a cooperative event. So, they're working with the teams that they're matched with um to score as many points as possible. So, there's a whole strategy in how you score and where you move the game elements. And how much time in preparation has gone into like planning for like start to finish since May of the year? And >> well uh we start in uh September. Well, we start the teams actually in May. Um and then in September they really start building and uh we meet after school once a week but they can take home their materials.
Singing great is the Lord. Halleluah. Great is our God. Hallelujah. Shouting great is the great God. Hallelujah. Great. Hallelujah. Sing is the hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Our God singing hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise our God. Singing hallelujah, dancing hallelujah, singing hallelujah, shouting praise. Hallelujah. I can get the board up for a photo. I take a photo. Round of applause again for Adam High School chamber singers. >> We're going to take a quick photo together. If I could get the board and superintendent. No test. test is Yes. The board of trustees will now reconvene the meeting at 6:01 p.m.
So that's going to take us a bit of time now to backfill those skills. But we're hoping starting in K1, especially as they get older, it's going to help as we Yeah. as they go up on the grade levels. Same with fifth grade. And I do know in talking with um Michelle, like there are a lot of students that did not have those phonics skills. And unfortunately, when you get to the middle and upper grades, you don't you're not trained in phonics. So it's once again, you know, having to try to train those teachers to either do those interventions or um something like you. So they don't they're not strong in that area as teachers, most of them either because they're not trained in it. Sixth grade ELA was a celebration. They had some pretty nice growth growth. Yep. Improvement. Nice improvement there. Nice improvement.
By implementing the Athenian stickers, students have a motive to follow the Athenian way. This inspires students to do good deeds due to the potential gratification given by stickers. The student body also influences each other into good acts by allowing dual incentives. How does PBIS help with behavior at CMS? If you have model have model attendance, have A's and B's and only one C, have less than three tardies, and have no missing or late work, you can be rewarded with a shield trip. A shield trip is a day in which you get to leave school and participate in fun fun activities. We have a shield trip every quarter and if you qualify for all of them, you get an ultimate reward. The ultimate shield trip. The ultimate shield trip is exclusive trip for for the kids have who have gone on all of the shield trips and pro prove that they can be free without breaking the rules.
Um as you can see there, there is the setup of St. Mary's, uh which I felt was very successful. Um we made quite quite a bit of money there. So, and the kids really felt empowered. Um they did a great job with working alongside each other. Uh it just It was a fantastic opportunity for them. And just some other pictures showcasing them working side by side and just having some fun. And together we we feel as as uh we are building a stronger, kinder community of lifelong learners working together. Thank you. >> [applause] >> We wouldn't be here tonight if we didn't bring a little kindness with us. So, Seth, what have we been painting um this week? Oh, last week too and maybe a few weeks before cuz we're we're pretty perfectionists, aren't we? What have we been painting? Uh Our our birds, weren't we?

All right. Sir. Hello. Thank you sir for so much for coming down today. What are you in tonight? What are you doing? >> So, I am a Klingon. This is my Klingon shield right here. Klingon shield. And I met the love of my life at a Star Trek convention. Ooh. Can you do that? I can. >> And you do You know what that means? Uh I hope it's nothing bad. It means live long and prosper. Of course I know that. >> So, you're wearing three different wigs tonight. Uh no, no, no, just one, but don't give away my stuff, man. No one No one's watching this till tomorrow, so. And and then I have a another scene where I'm in a at a hospital and >> Mhm.
>> So and then can you go on just to explain what the other one is? >> Pardon me. >> What the Can you go on to explain what the other one is? They're all 137. >> 30. Do you want to put 37 up? >> Absolutely. >> 130. >> I was going to say this is this is 37, right? And then there's >> this is 123 pond in 37 James. And the next one is 137 pond. It's a small parcel. >> There you go. So that is a uh site adjacent to this which Mr. Uh Wheeler has uh acquired in conjunction with some plans that we are developing for the uh totality of this site. it made um the project much better. But uh this is a different owner that he's acquired it from. He owns it at this particular point in time. And there is a uh abandoned uh condemned house that will come down on that site.
And these guys come every single day for study hall at this point. Now even when I have classes they go into the shop to work because they have to code autonomous too. So they have a whole program. So the robot will score on its own and do all of this without them using a controller. Um so it's hours and hours and they take it home now at night to practice. So it becomes muscle memory. Every second counts. >> You guys want to add anything? >> Oh, talk about your team name and your shirts. That's cool. Great job, guys. Good luck. >> Good job, guys. really neat to watch these guys compete and work together, uh, communicate with each other, um, you know, problem solve, all the transferable skills we're trying to teach them in school. Um, they were strengthening without even knowing it. So, we tricked them into learning.
We will be starting with our pledge of allegiance and moment of silence led by student representative to the board of trustees, Leah Garcia. Sorry. Good evening. Please rise. Place your right hand over your heart. Ready, begin. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Please be seated.
Well, something went right there, too. Yeah. Sixth grade is looking good. Kudos to those teachers. Looking much better. Yep. Seventh grade is also another big celebration. They were kind of stagnant um the first half of the year and um like they didn't they had zero students in proficient at the beginning of the year. They got a highly and so they've really done some boy they they definitely that looks very good there. That is good. They even got somebody in highly proficient. Yeah. And I believe it was five five somebodyies. Five people. Who? Well to dropped from 93 to 62 in minimum perfect scores. That means perfect scores. Yeah. Very good. Eighth grade and eighth grade kind of has been stagnant here. Eighth graders are eighth graders. They got they got high school anitis at this time of the year. No, but they're even showing some but they're still showing improve.
The shield trip started in spring 2023 and nearly three years later great things have ensued. A monumental decrease in maj major incidents has been seen after the imple implementations of PBIS. A decrease in major incidents means kids have seen the PBIS program as a reason to change their behavior. Since the start of the field trip program, the number of honorable designates has increased by 15%. This means the number of kids that are making the A and B and high honor roles are increasing. They are pro provided with a reasonable cause to be good and improve how they do their school work. Attendance data. If you don't go to school, numerous trade-offs are present, which is why an increase of attendance is being pushed by the state of Indiana. The incentive of the shield program has raised attendance by 28%. The shield program is helping to solve previous problems with attendance in the past.
We were doing birds. So, we have created a bird for each of you and we have um Could you just give me one word? We will pass them out. Actually, we're not going to take your time to pass them out now, but this is our example of some of our creativity. This one is for Mrs. Johnson and it is a cardinal that we have painted and it even has a little it has a little um saying to go with it and we picked your bird because we have kind of made sure that we learned some things about you. So, um yours is presence and it has a little saying to go with it. So, I want you to read yours and um the statement at the end um these birds were painted by our students as a small way to say thank you. Each one represents a quality our schools depend on every single day.
