Um, and everyone received a folder with their specific language on maternal health resources, whether it's um, how to refrigerate your uh, breast milk uh, and how to what how your breast milk changes throughout the first year. Um, we gave out uh, baby prizes. Um, we also had a baby boutique. Um, and that was really popular. So, we've been bringing it back for every shower. And our baby boutique is gently used or new baby items, including baby uh wipes, uh, diapers. U, we've had formula before, and it's really to give parents a shopping experience, um, where they can select things that they their child needs. Um, and that's been really awesome, and uh, families seem to be very responsive to that. Our second baby shower happened in November in Framingham and that one we had 89 people registered and then at the end of the night uh it was over a hundred.
When the final bell rang each June, Miss Algra didn't just remember the class. She remembered each student, every single one, their smiles, their struggles, their victories. Outside the classroom, Miss Aliggretti's heart was just as full. She loved traveling to new places, exploring the world with the same curiosity she encouraged in her students. And most of all, she cherished her two daughters, Cat and Liz, who were always her biggest pride and joy. As the years passed, generations of students walked through her classroom door. And though they grew up and moved on, they carried a little piece of her with them. A belief in themselves, a love of learning, and maybe, just maybe, a bit of sparkle. Finally, the day came when Miss Algradi stood in a classroom one last time. The room was quiet, but it didn't feel empty. It felt full of memories, laughter, and four years of love.

But that was the intent of it. The intent was to give us your questions early. we'll be able to be prepared for them. We can share them back to you and then when you ask them in the meeting, we have an answer ready to go. They weren't posted publicly. They were an internal document that we used to make sure that people were prepared. And then a few years ago, we changed it to posting it publicly, but I don't think that that when I came on board, the idea was and I've offered it to all of you, come in and let's talk about this because I think when you have discussions, which is why I'm really happy we're having this discussion tonight. Here we are in public. You guys can never have discussions unless you sit here, right? Like that's the hard part really. And and it's hard being I think it's hard being a board member wanting to have discussions, but you can't.
There's also a level of and it's not listed for all but the counseling is cleared in terms of the counseling team, school adjustment counselor and again this council working together to support students and support families. Um all cases were closed in Pelum. All of them thoroughly investigated. All of them have staff assigned. We can actually think that we could use Pelum as like a model for like here are the steps to follow through that we need to to get things done. Um, we also know that and I don't know, Colleen, I want to hand it over to you to see if there's anything you want to add in terms of the Pelum overview. >> Yeah. No, just to echo everything that you said, Dr. Z, um, Pelum is is really a model school, you know, on a smaller scale than some of the other schools.
Um registrations are not required but they're highly encouraged just because we prepare material for the specific language of the family. Uh but we register them right right at the door and we always prepare ourselves for at least 30 more people. We had 14 community partners as well and everyone received the same um baby package. Um and and we had an actually expanded boutique because it was so popular. Uh our third one will be uh at the corner spa in Ashland. So we're really excited. We just started promoting it um as of two days ago or as of Friday possibly. Um it's going to be June 30th. Um, we already have eight community partners already pledged to attend and they're very excited. Um, I just listed a list of uh those who are participating. Um, and we're really just excited. We're going to have an ice cream truck.
She smiled, thinking of all the students she had taught, all the costumes she had worn, all the moments that mattered. And as she turned off the lights, you could almost see it, the little shimmer in the air. Because teachers like Miss Aliggretti don't just teach, they leave a sparkle that never fades. Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement. I won't get back in pressure. So, Mrs. Already, you are also the reason that students move back to town and want their their kids to come through here as well. So, I'm sad my kids never had you, but you and you know, teachers like you are the reason that a lot of us return. So, thank you. Well, excellence. It really is. Um, now is the time where we will move forward into our regular business. And if you have homework or papers to correct, possibly anything or are not planning on joining us for that, now is a great time.

We have to have it in the open. We have to have it transparent. The most transparent place that we have within our district is right now where everybody can see what that conversation is and going forward. And so, you know, when when we have discussions or we review and people want a preview of of the governing board agenda and we go through it, I think that that's a a great way and a learning way for board members because each one of you because I know each one of you, you prepare all differently. All of you guys prepare for board meetings differently, but you prepare in a way that come to be able to present and move forward. But just the background on these communication protocols, right? That was the intent was to provide it so that when you came and you did ask that question ahead of time, it wasn't for do we have a forward- facing document that was added after that was put in.

And I may I just uh President Wade may I?

Z or from my office or from Marta whenever they need it um to ask for consultation or for help and it's sort of just everything's working as it's intended to. So on a broader scale with the with other schools um you know to extrapolate that or to to scale up uh and out that practice um I think it just gives us a good idea that it can work uh on a broader scale. So it gives a little bit of hope um to our office that um hopefully we can um apply some of their practices upward and outward a little bit more. But um they're doing a great job and you know uh we can still identify that in the those bullying incidents that um did occur all the follow through happened um you know Abby and Mickey working together with the other counselors like you know the students are getting um the level of followthrough and followup that the community was so badly asking for um for the entire region.
