I would also like to thank the administrators and senior staff members who collaborated alongside us at the negotiations table. I am grateful for the time spent in solution focused conversation. Thank you for committing the time and the resources that will support both educators and students. I would also like to congratulate our MUSD retirees. Your dedication, leadership, and hard work have left a lasting impact on the Morirana community. Finally, on behalf of MEA, I would like to thank the governing board for your continued support of educators across MUSD. Hope you have a great summer. Thank you. >> Thank you, Sarah. Next up is Patrick Kavanagh. >> Thank you. Uh, Miranda Unified School preschool district president Mccronis, Vice President Raymond, school board members, superintendent Strereer. I'm a little nervous for some reason. My gosh. Uh, >> you're on the wrong side. >> I know it's a little, but I just want to say I would really appreciate it seeing what I witnessed here in the in the chambers with some recognition of some great teachers and support staff.
In clubs and extracurriculars, everyone was encouraged to speak up and be a leader, which allowed everyone to be a part of something. I know for me I grew significantly as a leader as president bring change to mind because it was a club that I felt passionately about and because of the safe environments of clubs at CHS. I felt comfortable enough to speak in front of other students and CHS provided an environment that they felt they could too. While many coaches and administrators made an impact on me, the collective support from the CHS staff made me truly proud to call myself Nathaniel. Mrs. Mrs. Shidler, Miss Smith, and Mrs. Chandler had everlasting impacts on me more than they might know. They were the ones in my corner when I needed it most, providing me a space, a safe space for me, especially during the pressure of my junior and senior years.
Great. Ava Tigner Zoe Schuljack Taylor Robinson Sophia Gonzalez Nivea Prince I always tell her she's the girl with the prettiest name, Kimberly Gomez. I better not be biased. Kendall Price Carmen Wilson Julissa Collazo Giselle Flores Cervantes Jace Matthews Hayley Scott Cataleya Roman Ava Ellenberger Arthur King Ariel Welch Annalie Chavez Ava Settles Lack the energy. Yes. All right, perfect. Thank you. Those are all of our club students. And last but not least, I want to bring up Mrs. Richardson. She is a Clearly a fan favorite. She is our student council um sponsor. But before she continues on, I want to remind everybody that tomorrow evening at 6:30 and Edison is North American games and Bailey's going for the three-peat. Okay, sorry. Welcome everyone. This is uh officially our second year with a student council. Here we go. Ready? Second year of student council. So this is how we're going to do it.
Or the project Yeah. Um maintains um Yeah, that's fine. All right. Are all Are we going to go to that? Number three, preserve unique natural natural or historical features. The planning board finds that while there are no unique features on the site, the landscape um is proposed to stay in its natural state where possible. Again, I think it's just maintaining um It's really just that it maintains the buffer. I think this is one that Paul had made. Oh, that that palm made changes to this one? If I'm not mistaken. >> [clears throat] >> To say number three Oh, no, you're right. I'm sorry. I'm looking at number But there is no I I agree. Yeah. The planning board finds that there are no unique natural or historic features on the site. Yeah, it's basically a site I think that has been cleared and some trees have grown in there in some time.
Little Cutting Edge reference there, Kevin. I like it. Thank you very much. Ryan Adorno freshing the ball here. Probably going to actually slow down let her middies catch up. >> Yeah, a whole bunch of Holliston defenders were there in position, so there wasn't much she could do. It wasn't an opportunity to take it, so better let the cavalry arrive and see what you can get going. Maggie going to run the offense here from the top looking over to Lily Vitti. Lily Vitti with the ball. Whoop. It's wet sticks today. Going to be tricky. She gets right back in the play though with that nice drive. >> she's not going to let her get up the field easily after losing it. That's Abigail Langen with the ball, a senior for Holliston. Lily Vitti is now going to have to go behind. Erin Hickey stationed herself in front of the the ball carrier.
where are they going? And so I started marking them that way for me because I wanted to see okay if this policy is being deleted where are the key pieces from this policy going so that we know where they are. So you know so we'll just is there any more discussion on these 46 things or 48 things? No. Are there is there more discussion? I think so. Okay. We'll just we'll vote on them then Next meeting. Yeah. for those policies. Um item 1.4 revisions to JL's student wellness regulations. So, Madame President and board members, um, uh, earlier this year, we had an audit, uh, of the food service program, and one of the, uh, one of the things that came out of that was, um, that we did not have a record that our student wellness policy and regulations had been reviewed uh, um, in a timely manner.
Also what I saw earlier beautiful uh evidence of the love that Moranny Unified School District ha the people have for the school district and how much people love serving in that school district not just teachers but school bus drivers you know groundskeepers. It was great. It was so nice to see it and I hope we have many other teachers, new teachers, support staff moving in on where when they leave and after so many years of service, some of them eclipsing 30 years of service was just really wonderful to see. Dedication, you could tell the love they had working for in this school district. Thank you so much. >> Thank you and thank you for what you do for the city. >> Uh superintendent comments, Dr. Strereer. President Mcronis, governing board members, members of our audience, I just want to take a few minutes to again congratulate our retirees.
They allowed me to be vulnerable and offered unwavering support, leaving a lasting impression on my life that I will forever be grateful for. It's because of adult figures in my life like them that I believe I am that person. I believe and hope that I am that person to my peers, friends, and people around me, which I hope is a trait that I will always have and that people see in me. Mrs. speech also shaped my growth not only as a student at CHS but also in the things I value as a person acting as a boost for my personal development through her unmatched passion for what she does at CHS. She embodies the culture at CHS where faculty foster trust and genuine connection with their students providing that true academic success is rooted in feeling valued. Witnessing the dedication of her and the rest of my teachers I had and even the ones I didn't that still impacted me in one way or another.
If you were in student council this year, please just come stand up here and I want you to stay here. Student council members who received an invitation, please come up and stand up here. Make a nice long line. Right here, Kelly. Kelly, Kelly. We have quite a few members who were not able to make it this evening, but But you notice when you look up here, there are quite a few kids that you have seen called up multiple times. These students are the future leaders. They are our leaders right now. These students are good academic students. They're good leading students. I have had the pleasure to work with them. I work with first graders all day long. I love having a student council meeting with you. You They have great ideas. They really do. We have given up Saturdays to come paint the parking lot.
So, so let's greatly simplify that one. All right, so on to number four. Minimize tree, vegetation, and soil removal and grade changes. The planning board finds that although tree cutting must occur for the development of the site um I think we can cut out that next part as indicated. The planning board finds that although tree cutting must occur for the development of the site the project maintains the existing tree line around much of the site and proposed new landscaping. Are they proposing new trees? I don't think so. It was just like keeping the stuff that was kind of in between the fence and the road. And is was there new plantings? No, they didn't give us any landscape planting plan. So, it was just keeping >> what's existing vegetated. Like at the front and side. The site and new landscaping trees will be sustainable and beautify the site.
That was a good stick by Ryan Adorno knocking it down, but Holliston again able to get the ball. Good amount of seniors tonight for uh for Holliston on the senior night. We recognized uh they got about what seemed like eight eight or nine seniors. >> it might have been 11 versus two for Ashland, so it quite a disparity. Alana with another save. I was a little busy little busy reading earlier, so I couldn't really get the total on them, but you got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 seniors for Holliston. That's kind of just clear out there uh their bench for next year. Hopefully they got some players coming up in the program and they can uh stay where they've been, which is a pretty good team the last couple years. >> 11 is a big number. That is a lot of players and and probably starters that they're going to have to look to replace next year.
And so, uh, we put together a wellness committee. Jen was the chair of that, you know, chaired that committee. They worked all this year uh to address uh the things that are supposed to be d addressed relative to that and made recommendations to me about uh some changes. Um as it turns out, I'm recommending that we not change the policy. The policy is fine the way it is. Um, but uh I took all of their advice relative to uh the regulations and um and their advice was all related to uh guidelines that they got from the Arizona Department of Education Nutrition Division uh to make these changes. So that's how this came about for these two policy changes. So, um, I marked them the same way that ASB ASBA does. Uh, struck struck through the parts that are going away and underlined the the new sections.
Uh it is really it's their dedication. It's their hard work. It's the commitment that they've made uh to the Morirana community that has really built the foundation for the successes that we get to experience each and every day. uh we would not be who we are today without the folks that have helped build MUSD into the place that it is. So, thank you to our retirees. We uh congratulate them. Uh we wish them the best on their next endeavors and we remind them that the substitute teacher application is available on our website under the human resources tab and we can fasttrack them into a classroom. I also want to just recognize our employees of the year. Uh it's been it's been a great uh opportunity these past few months to really recognize those that represent the very best of the best. And so congratulations to Carrie and Tom and Jill.
Their dedication has inspired my own philosophy philosophy as a future educator. I aim to mirror the lasting positive impact of the CHS staff fostering an environment where my future students feel as supported and empowered as I have felt here. Reflecting on my time at Crawfordville High School, although it may be cliche or too basic, transformative is truly how I describe my experience. This was fueled directly by the environment, sports, and activities I was involved in and mentors here at CHS. Engaging in clubs and sports sharpened my leadership and communication skills while teaching me the true value of teamwork. What's more, the dedic dedicated faculty and coaches demonstrated how meaningful connections form the foundation for lifelong success. I step into the future deeply grateful for the friendships and mentorship that shaped who I am today. Thank you. Hello, my name is Colton Kuster. I will be attending Purdue University next year to study first year engineering.
Maybe you noticed when you pulled in. That's student council artistic work right there to decorate spots for the teachers. We just came in on a Saturday a couple weeks ago to decorate the the classroom doors for teachers for teacher appreciation week. They stay after school for an hour. They create our spirit weeks. They are leaders in the school. We ask them to do jobs and give them responsibilities that other students don't have because they are leaders. We have volunteered our time for math night to show parents around. We've been the students in the building that will show visitors around where they need to go. They're in charge of announcements. They are great students, but I really want you to look at them because they're good academic students and good leaders. If you were part of student council last year, please step forward. So, we had a few and a few more that were not able to make it.
So, it's a little I pulled this from the last decisions that we made. Yeah, this was on that that was what I Yeah. [clears throat] Don't think they proposed any though. Was Luke able to get back on? I'm sorry? Luke, was he able to get back on? I don't he's not on now. He's not in the waiting room either. Hm. Yes, this is one thing I'd want to check on. Um I can check on that now. >> Does anyone Does anyone have the plans for >> online. I'll pull them Yeah, just to see what we were given as far as um I don't remember what the landscape plan that we were given was. Um yeah, or if there was a any plantings at the road. I can't I can't remember. In theory, we would have it on our website, right? We do. It's um It just takes me a moment to pull it up.
Even their goalie, that's a tough one to lose. Uh she's a good goaltender, Amelia Langen. Uh she's I remember her from last year. Just a strong goalie making a lot of saves and keeping them in a lot of games. Not not dissim- dissimilar to Ashland the last couple of years graduating a lot of seniors, so uh the result is a team like this one, which has a lot of freshmen. And it's a young team, which great news is they're only going to get better. But playing against girls that are three, sometimes four years older than them, it's a difficult transition. Size is a factor. I mean, we already have a small team, and then when you bring in, you know, people that have a smaller size. Ooh, nice shot there by number 13. >> Caroline Worriax. Sophomore. Nice goal, opposite foot. Yeah, good switch. She came from the right side, got into the middle, got it into her left hand, and bottom right corner on Alani, which is tough to get that stick all the way around on those saves, but 2-1.
Uh, some of the pl some of the things that are struck through um appear, but they appear within uh within uh the um the new sections so that I, you know, it would flow better um and make more sense. So, um, this is now in the agenda as part of my report to you. As you recall, you all said that, you know, rather than having to approve regulations and exhibits that I could report them to you, but I wanted it in in the workshop so that if you had some discussion about any of these or questions about how they came about, uh, that we could answer them. Keep going down, please. Keep going. Okay, that one. Uhhuh. School day is defined as from midnight before school until 30 minutes after the last school sponsored class, regular school day or after school programs, whichever is later.
Thank you so much for what you guys do for our students, our staff, and our community. Uh this is also uh a unique time of of year and and really a unique time in our district's history in that we're not too far removed from the 100year celebration that took place just a few weeks ago. Uh if you have the opportunity to be a part of that celebration uh the day uh at Morirana High School where we had students running around, we had student performances. Uh we had jump houses in the back fields. We had a mascot uh race, a mascot uh dance dance danceoff. Uh just really a neat fun-filled day where we got to celebrate our our kids and everything that is MUSD that then rolled into that evening at the pumpkin patch where we welcome back uh several alumni uh past educators uh community leaders who celebrated the district centennial.
Um, first I want to talk about how I'm heavily involved in lots of sports and activities such as golf, track, cross country, and soccer. I was able to gain 11 letters in my time here at CHS and it taught me so many lessons. U I was able to meet so many new friends and meet so many people from cultures that I would have never people I've never talked to before. Um I also learned things like pushing yourself to your limits and never quitting and never finding the easy way out. I had many coaches, Marcus Hail and Roger Zar, who helped me be my best when uh when I thought I couldn't be any better. Um I'm also involved in lots of clubs, some including Interact Club, National Honor Society. Uh I was part of Chess and Games Club and also a bunch of um volunteer clubs like that.
