Pendulum the same the same ent the same person owns the two entities. No >> pendulum is that little lot. >> Yep. >> He acquired that about 6 months or a year ago on the principal. >> Okay. So, and then um the whole other as outlined on here is owned by >> by VNP. >> Okay. So, the corner part is owned. The rest of it is in negotiations, >> but we're we're we're trying to close on it. This is part of finance and close on. >> Okay. So, my question is how do we um how do we make changes to a piece of land this a piece of land that is >> you don't have permission from >> not Yeah. not not owned by the same >> but in the process of >> Yeah. I I does that I've never I I don't think we've ever dealt with that before and that's why I'm really confused.
So, let's let's look for a continued improvement as we make our way along in the game. Expect the third inning to even be better than uh better than the first and second. >> And Bradock has already thrown 20 more pitches than Price has thrown. The same amount of innings. He's thrown 43 of them. Thank you. Appreciate it. >> That run last inning did not count as an earned run because of the error on the uh the toss at second base. >> Right. >> Top of the third already here. >> Looks like the rain's going to hold up and we'll make it through this game. >> Caleb Luzon will bat first. He's 0 for one. >> He's the lone strikeout victim >> for Gratica so far this afternoon. >> Hey Caleb. Hey Caleb. >> Uh those watching the the second umpire has never showed up. So >> uh we unfortunately do have a game with only one umpire >> as that one sky high out of play.
Wow. So, could be a defensive thing for this Norton team and we'll see if they, you know, make some errors today that can help Ashland. And obviously down three nothing, you'll take anything you can get. >> Absolutely. That's why coaches are always saying just get the ball in play. >> Yep. >> Um, you know, try not to strike out. Get the ball in play. Especially, you know, you MLB level you can get errors, but you know, especially at this level, >> uh, much higher chance of errors. So, >> get it in and see what happens. Ashlin does have a pitcher warming up. I don't know if that's to take over in the second inning or to be there just in case, but Conry, sophomore over there. Ollie Laro will lead it off. 240 so far this season for the first baseman. And he'll take a strike.
Smith and his team how to do their job because they're the educational experts that the board has to rely on. So, you can see under that there was four we recommended between three and five. Um this group did four and they said under that culture and climate, we want to have a focus on valuing um individuality, fostering a sense of district-wide connection. You have a really big district with a lot of different staff and schools and getting them to be basically, you know, uh one Evesham, one Marlton school district and pulling in the same direction. Creating environment where people want to be involved. And then expanding um opportunities. The next one was mental health, not surprising. That's a big topic in education right now uh for good reason. Um and this group said that their goal statement was to enhance opportunities to positively impact student mental health and wellness in a effort to promote self-advocacy, belonging, student success.
And I don't know if there's a more aptly named award for someone like Janine than uh a community high school all-star. So, she does great work on the field, on the court, and our girls flag football and basketball uh teams. She's a outstanding student and just embraces all that she does at Samberg with a quiet competence and focus that uh truly embodies those the ideals of learning, growing, and inspiring uh each and every day. So, uh, Janine's a junior, so we get to hang out with her for a little bit more at Samberg. So, I'm there's probably another visit here coming up in the board thing, but one more round of applause for Janine. Congratulations. All righty. Next up, uh, shifting to honor one of our staff members, Ma Abdel Aziz. come on up. Uh, Nita recently earned recognition for her work as a multiaceted uh, activity sponsor at Samberg from the IDSA. This is a state level of recognition for uh, Nidita and like all the good vibes, all the good things, all the good feeling experiences at Samberg I think uh, Nita has her link with. So, uh, she guides our super fans who, uh, have been down state a few times, came home with the state championship trophy or ring a few times.
So that's pretty amazing that it comes from down there. Uh Mr. Duncan offered a vehicle, a 2013 Chevy Cruz, McDougall, a 2011 Dodge Dakota. And those may be fix up to give to kids in the future depending if they can get around or whatever. And Austin Pep and Brock, a roof contractor, donated $1,000 to the schools. So, they get a lot of good donations. and I'll send around the list of people that were there for the open house for the students for their career day. >> And they will have their open house their construction on May 14th at 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. if you want to go look at that. And senior certificate honor program is May 18th at 7 p.m. >> that time. >> I know. like those sensors. What class would these do? >> I'll have to get that. There's a computer class.
>> It doesn't matter. >> No, it doesn't. >> No, you and I could uh agree to swap corners of our land. I'll take a piece of yours in the front, you take a piece of mine in the back. It happens a lot. >> But is everyone Is everyone involved who currently own this land present? like may >> they have given Mr. um Wheeler in the purchase and sale agreement the permission to go forward with all the permitting necessary for that such as the plan you've already seen back a year ago. >> So So is our decision on this contingent upon the land being owned by one entity? No, >> no, but you would want permission from the landowner before you approved anything on their property. >> Yeah. This is what this is what I don't understand. I feel like I'm cutting up somebody else's property who isn't here, you know.
>> Way back out of play. Quickly nothing and one for Bradica as he gets ahead. >> Nothing and one to Luzon. >> That's outside. Ball on a strike. >> Here's the one-1. That one's lined into center field right at Ian McCoy and he makes the catch. >> Barely had to move for it. And a quick out number one for Bradica. It's a good three pitch at bat. >> Yeah, Ian uh walked up to that ball the way I walked from the kitchen table to the sink to get a drink of water. It was just just tremendously easy for Ian out there. >> Or he makes it look easy. Yeah. John Salem will take ball one. >> His first at bat drew a walk and brought home a run. >> Seen five pitches, five balls from Bradica as he'll chop that one to third. Bobbled there by Connory, but he picks it up and throws to first.
Ollie with a new uh bleached hair uh do out there. I don't know when that happened but >> it did happen. >> That's a ball. >> One and one. >> He's a good looking kid, so he can carry it. >> Oh yeah, definitely. >> Looks good no matter what he does. >> Here comes the one-1 from Price. >> That one spiked there and it's two balls in one strike. outfield playing a little little deep here. >> Two balls in a strike to Laro. He smacks it on the ground to short. Nice backhand there. And a long throw is in time. >> That's the shortstop Salem. >> Very good play there by the shortstop and the ball was sharply hit. Uh he watched the ball, >> you know, very well coming off the grass, caught out in the bounce and had a great throw into first base.
They put seven, so they were they were not good rule followers. I'm just kidding, that was fine. They they put a few more, which was totally fine. Um the reason we say, you know, three to five goals and three to five objectives is because if you had 20 different objectives, if everything's important, nothing's important, and there's only so many directions that you can go, and it's really best to keep it to a limited amount and really make some deep inroads. Um they mentioned maybe having, you know, a district-wide SEL screener, you know, uh expanding their tiered supports, training opportunities, targeted social skills instruction, um and so forth. Curriculum, again, there's a lot of information there, so I won't read it because it's online, but this new next group, and when I walked over and I saw this, I said, you a lot of you at this group are teachers, and they all shook their head.
So, Anita's done great work with that group as far as not just generating momentum and enthusiasm in our games, but really focusing on giving back to the community as well. Um, if you're lucky enough to get a ticket to our international fest, I think StubHub had some of them uh maybe for sale uh because there is so much interest uh in over the past few years uh need part of that burgeoning program and just that really being uh just a big check mark and beacon uh in our school of all the great things at Samberg and how we all come together. So uh she does great things every day at Sam. We're so lucky to have her. A round of applause for Nidab. Is this the right cadence? Am I doing okay? Okay. That's what I needed. That's what I needed. All right. Next up is Arushi Patel.
>> That's what I wonder. >> I just >> That's what it is. >> That's a lot of money. >> Yeah. >> Anything else? >> That's it. >> Superintendent. >> Yeah. Just uh sharing a few things. Uh obviously it's hiring season, so we have a lot of that taking place. uh just planning for next year already when it comes to some of those staff uh hires and transitions. Uh we're also starting to take a look at our our handbooks uh and current policies that may be affected by any laws that have changed or go into effect July 1. And so we'll probably bring to you next May at well our only board meeting in May the first readings of those. Obviously, the big one is is working and finalizing what that cell phone policy will look like. Um, wanted to mention uh just something I thought that was really a cool event.
>> Well, I I don't understand how that works. If if you follow it, that plan is meaningless at the registry of deeds in so far as those lots are concerned until such time as there's a deed that sells, for example, lot one or lot two or lot five. Plans do not transfer ownership rights. They only show where things could be. So that plan can be recorded. It may never ever be used. and until a deed um transfers either the totality of it for the 200 units or the back land or the lots. It it just sits there as a ANR that has value only in so far as it has a um recognized ANR plan. So saying in two weeks, could I just as an example at our next meeting, could I present on this same piece of land a different plan? >> Could you what?
Two quick outs for Bradica as Connory did a nice job keeping the ball in front. >> Yeah, good job by Finn there. Just, you know, you need need to get in front of the ball and knock it down. You may catch it, you may not. >> But, uh, great arm by Finn over there. You know, he's not a large, you know, stereotypical large third baseman that you think about. Um, but he's got a great arm and he went literally across the field on a rope to get that out. >> Swinging a miss by DJ Pagn. >> Hey, Ward. That's outside. >> He was hit by a pitch his first time up. >> Also brought home a run there. Looks like he has the captain's patch there on his jersey. He takes a strike. >> That ball looked low. >> Did look low. >> We'll take it.
>> Now Chris Bradica >> will bat for Ashland. >> Lefty lefty for him. >> That's a strike. >> Radica so far this season batting 500 >> with an OPS above 1,400. He has been phenomenal as advertised. It's >> behind 01 here >> and quickly down nothing and two. >> Yeah, Chris's batting average, I think he's top 10 in batting average for division three. >> Uh, which is extremely impressive >> as he swings and misses out in front and a three pitch strikeout from Price. >> Yeah, Lefty going against Lefty there makes it a little bit more difficult. again early in the game. >> Shriber up now. >> Shriber will foul that one off to the right. Crush that ball foul. >> Shriber's betting 306 so far on the year. >> Base is empty. >> Two away here. Bottom of the first one. >> Just chops it into the ground.
I said, I could tell by what you wrote. Um it was very very well written, but this group wanted to focus on developing and strengthening cohesive, evidence-based curriculum that's data-driven, grounded in research, designed to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs, ensuring every child is supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential. And then you see under there, they have a pretty intensive list of objectives that Dr. Smith and his team had to work through and create an action plan on. The next one was student achievement. It's The group said they were able to create more equitable and inclusive educational opportunities that attends to diverse learning needs and provide strong educational foundations to promote promote student success. Um and some of the objectives was a focus on special education. Um using data and analysis um to support student learning and everything pointing to student success.
I love like the academic based recognitions we have at Samur because it's often students who are uh doing their thing but the academic thing after school and that is definitely the case with with Arouchi. So Arouchi is part of our HOSAMEDC club. We are rejoined by med club sponsor uh Miss Laura Joanic. And Arouchi recently finished top 10 in state uh in the HOSA n uh state competition. I believe it was down in Springfield. What was it? third place overall. Third place. So, top 10 third place overall uh advanced as an international qualifier as well in the pharmacy science thing. So, uh students focused on developing their skills in the health field uh to hone what they can do at Samberg to set the table for what they'll do later after Samberg in the health field. So, congratulations Arouchi. Next up, Ni Patel. Come on up, Nidi.
Uh, Laura Langy Bartles uh went to uh Wash County had a community baby shower. I believe it was last weekend. And so she attended that and had a booth there uh to share information about just uh early education as you know parents start thinking about that even as early as once they start having kids. And so she was able to attend that. I just wanted to kind of show you some pictures because I thought it was really neat and she really enjoyed her time. U she was even able to make a nice little AI coloring book. uh for families that came there that shows a polar bear and a night uh play playfully playing in there. And uh they had some giveaways and so created a little giveaway package of reading materials uh in and animal dolls. And then u the other thing that I thought was really nice was uh some of the materials that she was able to hand out.
>> Could could I plan for a different plan for this land and present something and put that as an ANR and it just sits there? >> Not without my authority. property. >> So, is that in writing somewhere else that there's an that this has been done with the owner's authority? It is. >> It's in the agreement. Yes. That's the first thing because you have to go for permitting. You have to go for conservation, wetland delineations, mass highway, curb cuts, >> right? But you see why that's strange for us. Like, well, how do I know that that these people have agreed? I'm I'm not doubting. I'm just trying to understand the process. You understand, right? How do I know that these people are okay with you guys being here? Like I I don't like how do I know that? That's what seems strange to me. >> Madam Chair, if I may, typically a form A requires signatures from all owners of record.
>> Radica will take it. one and two >> on only his ninth pitch of the inning coming up. >> Here comes >> that's upstairs. Counts even at two and two. >> Chris Chris deserves a uh >> one two three inning. So let's >> two >> ground ball that's fouled on the third baseline. >> Yeah, >> just just missed the bag. just missed the bag. >> Umpire of course has a great view on that down the line. This line is actually straight today which which is nice to see. Unless they must have put a rope on it or a little swiggle or something going on there, but >> it's a little bump at third base, but other than that, I think it looks pretty good. >> Two balls, two strikes. >> That's outside and high. So, the count is full. Nine hitter Ingram waits on deck.
