Students can look forward to watching Alvin and the Chickm Chipmunks chip chipwreck with delicious tacos and ice cream. Okay. Stag remain remains committed to the building with empathy and perspective. Recently, we hosted a human library event where students checked out real life people to hear the life stories. This was such a great way to build crucial life skills and expand the p perspective of the our student body. We are so honored to host this year's district 230 special Olympics. This host this event brought together people tutors and athletes providing a culture of inclusion and commu community. Our program helps connect students of all abilities through through shared training and competition. This year is winding down while and student council is already looking ahead. They are currently organizing the fall 2026 homecoming dance with the student body casting their votes for the next homecoming theme. This the council will continue to meet throughout the summer to kick off the next school year with the same if not more m momentum and energy we had today.
So, Brian Syncro has a social studies license, too. And he said with Taylor leaving, I'd be interested. So that's why we have three English teachers here. So >> Ryan's not leaving. He's just going to the social studies department. So then Tammy Schaefer I inherited because sixth grade is coming to Northville next year. So with Tammy Schaefer's retirement, um Ruth Bears is going to take that sixth grade language arts job. So I really just had two. See, one in sixth grade would have been Joel's, but since sixth grade's coming to Northfield next year, then I hired that one. So, and then Lisa Hobbs is going to be basically um going for Denise Ster's retirement. So, she'll have a lot of juniors, upper classmen. Um and then Gloria will be doing a couple classes of seventh grade and some ninth grade um just to replace Ryan Synra.
Not not in my wheelhouse. I understand. Does someone else have a business sense that can explain this to me? Because I >> understand what what are the original I I I can see what you're trying to design up here, but what what are they currently right now? >> Currently, there is >> is it can you see my cursor? >> Yeah. >> Coming down here. This this right now is see this dotted line. >> Oh, sorry, Mackie. So, correct, George. So, the lot line comes here currently cuts across this stone wall. This dotted line is the existing lot line. Now coming AC across this way up here. This is the existing lot here. Right. >> Well, >> and this this as well, sorry, comes all the way up to here. So this this larger outline here up to this dotted line is the existing frontage. So they're adding this lot >> and they're taking this slot and cutting it into making it bigger but cutting it into two at the same time.
I believe the first baseman that's Ezekiel Ferraro tried to tag out Lame and the ball was knocked out. >> So that is >> the fourth strikeout, >> but it will be a base runner for the Clockers >> on a strikeout. >> So the first base runner against Price. Here comes Conry. Another lefty lefty at bat. He punches one to third. What a play there. They get one and that's all they'll get. A really nice play by Evan Ingram. >> Yeah, third baseman. That was so sharply hit and he just got in front of it, stopped the ball and went right to second base. Perfect play. >> Very sharply hit ball there by Finn. >> Finn Conry will or no, sorry, not Finn Conry just batted. Grey Clark will bat. Fourth lefty to face Ben Price. >> Two outs. >> Here comes the first pitch. >> That's a ball low.
So I think in a lot of games they've scored 10 runs or you know somewhere in the double digits. So this team can definitely hit. Um be interesting to see what happens next inning. I you know I think we'll see >> potentially Chris back out there you know on a short leash to see you know if he can kind of settle in and and and be the Chris that we expect. Um but you know the Norton will be back to the top of the order again >> and yeah Ashlin comes in a loss yesterday in Westwood 11 inning game a one- nothing final there lost on a pass ball so obviously got to be feeling like that was a bit of a let down you play 11 innings you hope you can come away with a win especially you know on the road but unfortunate defeat last night so they're looking to get a bounceback win here it's not going to be easy No.
And out of that meeting, we came out and said, "All right, here's the big five over the next five years that we're going to really hone in on." Culture and climate, mental health and wellness, curriculum, student achievement and success, and communication and community collaboration. I'll get into that a little bit more and Dr. Smith will get into it much, much more. But over the next five years um no matter what happens, and again, I will say this, it is a living, breathing document. So, you know, things do happen, there are changes, no one can predict the future, especially in this uncertain time. So, the document is a living, breathing document, it's not rigid of like, "Nope, this is the document, we can never shift." Because if there was some kind of massive change that heaven forbid happen, for better or for worse the school district would have to be able to pivot.
Finally, I would like to thank you all for letting me have this unforgettable opportunity each month to come here and speak before all of you. It has been such an honor and brag to come here with all the support you have given us. I won't be able to forget these days of my senior year. It was truly a highlight. Thank you. And thank you Dr. noting for putting up with me for four years with all my demands. Hold on a second, ladies. If all three of you could come stand back up. Um, the thank you is from us as well. I'm going to have each of the chairs give that their gift. You come here with courage and convin conviction, with spunk and energy, and you're the reason why we do what we do. You are representing your fellow classmates with honor and we wish you nothing but the best.
So, that's how that's all going to work out. So, we are happy to have all of them. We're so lucky because I've had English jobs posted in the past and it's hard to find licensed 5 through 12 English teachers. Nobody's on any emergency licenses here and they've all been teaching 10 or more years. So, >> so where are you all from? >> Peru. >> I'm also from Peru. >> Okay. >> Manchester. >> So, we're stealing the surrounding. >> Is that what's that? >> We're stealing. Yes, >> that's all right. >> They applied. So, >> yeah. >> So, we had a good round of uh interviews. We can keep up. >> Welcome. >> Hope you can work with my sister. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Got a little connection. >> Everybody talks. They know I do. That's good. >> Yeah, especially when it comes in. >> Yeah, we welcome you and hope that you can be a good influence on those or kids.
So this is existing right now with this dotted line. So currently this is the existing frontage here up until this and this ement is existing there. >> So this whole piece this whole section here >> is one property right now. >> This piece right here is already its own lot right here right now. Let me show you. Let me >> if you look at the drawing on the on the table >> it's here the site plan. That's what was the whole lot. >> Could you imagine that closer to us? >> So, it's one big lot that's being divided. >> That's what he owns. That's not one lot. >> It was. Now, it's getting >> This was >> This is it how it is right now. >> Little section right here. This one whole lot that it currently is right now. This is it right now >> in the in the condemned house.
>> It's going to be hard for uh base runners to steal bases here with a left-handed pitcher. >> 10 is a strike. It seems like Connor, although he grounded out, seemed like he was sitting on that fast ball there. And you can bet that it's going to be a strike and it's going to be a hard fast cuz that's what he's done to pretty much every hitter he's seen >> as he'll check on Conry over there. >> Go ny. >> Here we go. >> Hey Clark, let's go. >> Here we go. >> Five lefties in this Ashland lineup as Clark will chop one to second. High hopper there and it's fielded at second base. And that is out number three. >> Yeah, nice job by the job there by the second baseman. The uh this Yeah, the infield they done a lot of work on it.
Yeah, that that was a tough game last night, but you know, I mean, Westwood is a um a good team. They're, you know, ranked number three in um Tri Valley League. >> I think they have a pretty good ranking. Um and we were talking earlier, the MIAA uh power rankings just came out this week. >> And Ashlin, I I didn't realize is actually in division two. >> Um I think last year they were I thought they were D3, but now they're D2. when Max Prep shows them as D3, but MIA is the one that really matters. And um they're ranked number 18 in uh division 2, which is really actually very good for especially being in D2. Top 32 teams make it into the playoffs, 10 games into the season. So, you know, if they keep playing the way they playing at the beginning and stay where they are, they they'll be in the playoffs.
That being said, these are the five main areas that you're going to really see time, money, training, you name it. This is where the the little sliver of the pie that is left anymore is going to go to drive the district forward in these areas. So, they at meeting three, they they were able to come. I had five tables set up based off of these five categories. Somebody could come and say, "Oh, I want to work at the culture and climate table." They sat and they worked with a small group of people and then they were responsible came in, I coached them, I talked through here's what a strong goal statement looks like, uh here's what objectives are, you know, because we needed to give some specifics to Dr. Smith and his team without um getting into the day-to-day. There's there's very um strong lines delineation of what the board can and can't do and then what Dr.
Thank you for your time. Thank you. Do you have an extra pen, sir? Oh, I found one. Okay. Next on the agenda is our student and staff spotlight. school. Go school by school. I know we have a lot which is also another honor list of us. All right.
>> It's always a hard subject to teach. >> So, excellent. Well, you want to let them go if they want to or >> you're free to stay or you're free to go. That's totally up to you guys. We appreciate you coming tonight and being a part of this. It's always good to put a name with a face. So, thank you guys. >> Thank you. >> It's a good exit time if you don't want to stick around. >> You're welcome to join us. >> Thank you. >> See you later. >> Well, it's good to see you. >> All right, we'll move on to report. Uh, Hartland. Yes. U, we had one resignation. And I don't know whether I messaged a while back. Pete Dupont. He's a teacher well supervisor of student services. We hired his replacement Jared Heiden. His brother works over here. So it's going to be a good thing.
Is that is where >> that's right now and the fence around it. So that corner piece is still not a part not a part of the not a part of this plan. It's not a part of it's >> part of the plan. >> It is part of the plan. >> This is that lot right now. So, I guess the confusion is how are we if it's a different owner, how are we how are we talking about including that in our discussion today if it's owned by someone else? >> Because Mr. Wheeler owns under pendulum the lot at 137 with the condemned house and he has an equitable interest by his purchase and sale agreement on the remaining 14 acres. So, he has the ability to propose a for uh the ANR plan. Can you put that in because >> Can you put it in? >> I'm a little foggy because of the cold that I have, but I'm not I'm just not So, so this lot right here, right, you're saying is owned by a different entity?
I think it's overall in good condition, but balls do take funny bounces in here and that one uh took a couple of bounces. The third bounce just went straight up. Uh second baseman did a good job playing it and getting out of first base. >> Well, Ashley's getting the bat on the ball. So I think you know from we're we're at least moving in the right direction I think here Jacob. >> Yeah. But for Ben Price after a 12 pitch first inning, 11 pitches in that second inning despite giving up that base runner on that strikeout. So he technically got four outs if you think about it and only 11 pitches. So Bradica is right back out there. Didn't really have a lot of time to you know get settled on the bench and we're heading to the third. >> Right. Well, the second inning was, you know, definitely better than the first inning.
And of course, they can move up and move down a little bit. Um, but you know, the showing is is very good so far. >> They do not have a tough customer or they do not have an easy customer on the mound. It's Ben Price, a lefty. Very hard fast ball. That's what the scouts have said. A 171 RA so far this season. >> Yeah, Ben Price is actually the number one pitcher on their team. um along with being uh the number one hitter on their team as well, >> batting .438. So, he's uh you know, double double trouble out there. >> It is an interesting note that as a team Norton has given up 67 total runs, but only 27 of those runs are earned towards their pitchers. And for Ben Price's sake, he's given up 18 runs in 16 and a3, but only four of those 18 runs were actually earned.
Smith and his team is responsible for. So, the board is responsible for the what? What are we doing? Where are we going? And then after that directive is given, then Dr. Smith and his team is responsible for coming up with the the the daily battle plan, the action plan, the day-to-day, the actual how it's going to be carried out. And then it's going to be up to the board to hold the superintendent accountable to ensure that those goals are being hit. So, when we were in this group time, the first group created a goal statement that said they wanted to cultivate a safe and collaborative environment where students and beyond feel connected. And then under that, um we create objectives cuz I call it like kind of giving feet or legs to the goal because the goal, you read that and go, "Wow, that's really really vague." So, we have to then give some objective specifics without actually telling Dr.
Uh good evening everyone. My dispute pleasure to recognize a plethora of Samberians here tonight for doing great things at our great school. Um we are going by school for all the recognition. So I hope I'm in teaching shape because I'm going to say a lot of words consecutively here. So I hope I got it in me to get through all these recognition. We have no doubt. No pressure. Uh first up though um happy to have here tonight uh Jannine Ali who recently served the Chicago Bears Community High School All-Star award after being nominated by her girls swag football coach Laura Danic. So let's give them a round of applause. It's this is a truly special award. Um you know coach uh nominated Janine and um Chicago Bears gave us the notice that we're coming to the school. we're going to surprise Janine and her family with with the award, which was great.
And Pete works with all the counselors around trying to recruit and stuff like that. Pete's a good guy and tough shoes to fill. uh they had teachers appreciation grant and they had a rubric to divvy it up and three teachers got it and they all they got a $3,500 stipen so it worked out nice for them. Uh they got their approval for the Perkins grant. That's something we get every year. It was 109,000 and last year it was 116,000. So, it's going to take a little more out of us possibly, but that funds a lot of things through there. Uh, donations. Alro Steel donated four 4x8 sheets of sheet metal to practice for the collision for cars and stuff like that and stuff to weld. Sick, which I don't know. sensor group and they're located in South Carolina and they sent $13,000 worth of sensors donated for the kids to work on different things.
