You will have opportunities there to use your voice, be a leader, share kindness. That's what we're doing. I can't wait to see the amazing things that you guys are going to do. You can step back. Now, also, this year was our first year where we had officers for student council. So, this is Jaylen. She was uh nominated as our secretary. She has learned to take notes during our student council meetings, be in charge of all of our paperwork. Thank you, Jaylen, for all your hard work. And then Ruth, this is our president. So, if she could step forward. Ruth has been given the task that she can come to my room in the morning and I will say, "Hey, Ruth.

So, we want to make sure we have The narrative says that they are planting shade trees.
3 minutes 44 seconds left in the first quarter. See what how Ashland responds here. Fast-moving quarter. Yeah, real quick. Yes, that's only having three goals and not many whistles. A little bit. Saw that Maggie McGuinness and Ashley Forrester up for player of the week this week through the MetroWest Daily News, which is exciting. Who'd you vote for, Kev? Uh I I can't say. I don't know how to vote in those things. Someone from Hopedale, I think. Some Natick player that you don't know, just to play it keep it even. Uh number 12 with the ball up top. Ashley Forrester defending, over to 15. Peyton Tripp going to jump on it, almost gets the ball back. Sticking with her. Last couple of draw controls have gone Holliston's way, giving them some opportunities here to see what they can do on offense. Nice move, nice goal. 25.
That's right out of the law. So in other words, now they have changed it so we can't have like a at sporting events you can't have a snack bar. Yes, you can. But that's down here a little bit farther. Yes, you can have a snack bar. It's just that if you and and this came up last year, okay, at Fox Creek where uh when we still had well the year before last when we still had 21st century, so we had 21st century afterchool programs going on. Okay. And that's still considered part of the school day. So there was usually an overlap of 30 minutes or 45 minutes of of the sports activity and u the after school program. During that time the snack bar had to sell uh smart snacks. Yeah. After that 30 minutes after the end of of 21st century then they could sell the other things that they might have in the snack bar.
It's such a unique and neat thing that I hope is not lost on anybody how fortunate we are to be in a place that gets to celebrate 100 years. Uh and maybe more special is all of us knowing that the best is still ahead of us as we continue to move forward. Uh and I will leave you uh tonight with it is promotion and graduation season. I want to congratulate our students. I want to congratulate our families as we wind down another successful school year and we get ready to celebrate uh all of next week. Uh the tremendous accomplishments of our students and the partnership with our families as we promote students from from one grade to the next and graduate an unbelievable uh senior class that is uh shattered records in this district for with some of their successes. And this concludes my report.
I like to spend my time volunteering because I see that people help me and I would like to give that help back to others. Um, lots of teachers shaped my time here at CHS. They helped me push myself to my limits. And I came into CHS as a student that accepted B's and thought okay was enough. Now that I'm a senior, I realized that pushing yourself to your limits. And um, being the best student you can be is positive because it shows the students around you that they should push themselves as well. I think that it's not okay to be mediocre and pushing yourself to be the best you is u the best you can do. Our principal Jay Strickland had the biggest effect on me because he taught me many things about leadership and how to be a positive role model. Um I remember a time where I was at my lowest after um our fall season my junior year.
I need you to create a quick little blurb to speak out into the announcements for everybody in about 15 minutes." And she does it. These are leaders. I am so proud of single one of you for the time that you give up, for the leading that you do in the building, and the kindness that you shared with everyone. I hope you continue to do that. Fourth graders, I hope to see you out next year for student council. Third graders in the audience, it's your turn next year, so be ready for that meeting. Thank you so much. Thank you. All right. Well, thank you again for letting us showcase all of our students. Um it is it's an honor. Um I'm so excited to see the future of of what all of these kids bring to Bailey. Um so, thank you again for doing that. If I could have one more round of applause for all of the students tonight.
Yeah, and and those look too kind of perfectly laid out um in the right spots to have been Yeah, that one says That one also has the tot lot still and I don't think they're >> Oh, so maybe it's maybe we're open to and planting notes at the bottom of that page. Thank you. Sorry, it's loading. Are we looking to see if that's like the newest? >> Yeah, it's just Sorry, my computer is so slow. Some This looks like everybody's is. Maybe it's the system right now. Um Trying to see what the the latest date the latest revision date maybe of 4 3 26. Cuz I don't know if that's >> Yeah, that's the one that's trying to open now. If we can get there. >> Okay, well let's just put a a mark on that that we want to understand what There are still trees on here.
Margaret Morton, I think if that's the correct number I see there. Nice shot, nice move on Kendall. Kendall still got some goalie feet, I think, on her for the day. She's getting a little warmed up back into back into her defensive self. What was that Was that Yeah, it was over that side of the field, I believe. It might have been Alyssa Brown on number four on her, but But it happened quickly. Yeah, it's good one. Good strong first move, gets you past the defender, and then grip and rip. We see too many players get past that to They got one foot on that defender and not shoot. It's like let's get the ball in the net and shoot. So, good job by her. Once again, it all starts in the draw. Last couple of possessions have gone right to Hollingsworth. They've been able to do it.
So their afterchool programs are not our sports programs. Not. No. We're talking about when you would have when you would have a snack bar open. Yeah. Because we don't have a snack bar when they're just doing practices. No, no, no. Games and stuff. Because when when it said after school programs to me that includes the sports teams and stuff, so that's why I was questioning because I'm going, wait a minute, that's a major fundraiser for a lot of Yes, it is. Yes, it is. And and they uh they learned pretty quickly too that uh and this I think surprised them um uh that kids would buy the smart snacks, you know, in that 30 minutes. They wouldn't wait around to get the junk food. Yeah. They would come back and get the junk food later, but they would um you know, because they were pretty smart in how they picked the smart, you know, the things that fit under smart snacks.
>> Thank you. Uh, H, consent agenda. Can I get a motion? >> I move the governing board approve the consent agenda as presented. >> Can I get a second? >> Second.
I had two allconerence awards and soccer and cross country and I remember getting a note in the middle of class. This note was by Mr. Strickland and it told me how proud he was of me and it recognized my achievements that I thought no one else was paying attention to. This really allowed me to see that all teachers are looking at my awards and recognizing me for my achievements and who I am. Uh he also taught me that a leader is not someone who just is the best person. It's just the um just an amazing person that helps others become the best them. Um, also I had teachers like Mrs. Race who set me at high standards for excellence in the English part of um, our college work. And I had other teachers like Mr. Lynn who really allowed me to find my interest for a um, a class I enjoyed.
All right. Thank you, Mrs. Hayes. We really appreciate that. Thank you all the teachers that they devote their time to providing these clubs for our students. And we really appreciate their time and effort and the commitment that the teachers put into it. But more importantly, we are very proud of each and every one of our Bailey students for all of the activities and all of the things that they become a part of here at Bailey Elementary. And as our older students from Bailey go on to Edison, we encourage them to continue to participate in school clubs. They'll have the opportunity to participate in athletics for the first time. So, we really encourage our students to stay active, stay involved, stay strong in your classwork, and also continue to be strong as your school leaders. So, from student council to Girls on the Run, to Math Bowl, Spell Bowl, Science Bowl, all of those things that our students have been a part of, we're very, very proud of them.
And can you scroll down a little bit so we can see the top? Okay, so recreation >> schedule as well. Yeah. So there's yeah, so um Yeah, so proposed new landscaping and trees will be sustainable and beautify the site. So I'm okay with that. >> [clears throat] >> Everyone's okay with that general statement. >> the calipers when cuz this one says two to two and a half calipers. Is that typical? Do we have two inch calipers? I remember we talked um Once upon a time about this calipers business. I don't remember if we defined it at all. I know it went back and forth We We talked when we talked uh unrelated but when we talked to Becca about it in terms of planting trees um we talked about how it's actually she talked about how it's actually better to plant a small tree. >> caliper.
This one, Payton's going to grab. And hopefully for Ashlyn's sake, they'll be able to get something going. Open the window here like to be part of the game, Kev. Aaron Hickey with the ball bottom right. It's Marseglia to McGinnis on top. That second cutter no good. Maggie's going to rip it left-handed. She made it around the corner. space ball. Yeah. For Maggie. Let's hope she can It's not the best spot on the on the fan for the for the shot here, but she's smart. She'll grip and rip and little bounce shot. The entire field kind of went over to the right, and she kind of went to the left, and the opening was there. Let's see if she can convert. Maggie McGinnis. Nice stop by the keeper moving her hands. Another great stop by the keeper. Okay, I mentioned before, Emily Langon, great player. She's been good for a couple of years, senior.
So yes, but um that um that definition comes and that's why I put the bit the the federal regul uh federal law and the state law both in there. Yeah, but I thought it was from midnight until I know it's like, well, are we going to have a snack bar at 6 a.m.? Well, you know, somebody might some districts and some high schools might might try to do either vending machines or uh some kind of fundraiser before school in the morning. No, see, and they can't do that. years ago when I was down in the valley, we used to do hot cocoa and stuff in the morning and and that because at that time we didn't have Yeah. restrictions like this. Well, some of these have been in place since 2011 and and so I think there were 2011. Okay. And I know that I know that even in this district there was some bending of the rules for a while.
>> Is there any discussion? >> All those in favor? >> I. >> Motion carries. Unfinished business. None. New business. J1. Dr. Strereer. >> President Mcronis, governing board members, members of the audience. uh without the passage of a budget by the Arizona State Legislature, discussions with employee groups related to compensation for the 202627 school year have been completed based on the estimated 2% increase to our base support level uh to our budget.

um he allowed me to find u subjects and things that uh I like to listen to and he allowed me to find my passion for finding out history and uh things that happened in our past. I would just um like to share a moment that I felt very proud of our school. I won sectionals my freshman year playing soccer and our seniors who were obviously graduating. Just to win that game for them felt like the greatest achievement I could have ever had. Just the smile on their faces, the families hugging each other. But then after losing the regional game, I I felt a deep regret in my heart for losing. and um it just showed me what it meant to be part of a team almost like a family and I just wanted to give that back to the freshman this year and it just showed me how valuable teammates and connection are.
So, I would appreciate it if you join me in one last round of applause for all of our coaches, teachers, and students. All right, moving on with our program this evening, the next thing I'd like to do is turn it back over to Mr. Wright, our president of the school board, for school board member comments. Mr. Wright. Thank you, Dr. Triplett. Uh, we will start down at the end. Mr. Poleska. I just want to thank everybody for attending tonight. It's wonderful to see everybody coming out and supporting the kids. Congratulations to all you students for working hard. It's uh very greatly appreciated, and we're very proud of all of you. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Mr. Music. Yeah, I just want to uh thank all the students for all the hard work they put in. I want to thank the parents for, of course, the rides back and forth from all those things that they're doing.

So there are seven trees. Yeah. >> Total. Yeah, so around providing shade. >> So this is how that reads now is that Do you want me to read it? 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 and trees will be sustainable and beautify. Can you just say will? And I I would just say and maintains the existing tree line around much of the site and proposes new landscaping and trees. And leave it there. Yeah, and leave it there. That's the Yeah.
