MEMBER PEREZ WILL NOW LEAD US IN A MOMENT OF REFLECTION FOLLOWED BY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I WANT TO START WITH A QUOTE FROM POPE FRANCIS. MAY HE ALWAYS REST IN PEACE. "OUR TIME HAS A GREAT NEED FOR HOPE. THE YOUNG CAN NO LONGER BE ROBBED OF HOPE." I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT OF REFLECTION FOR THE TRAGEDY THAT HAPPENED ON THE FSU CAMPUS THIS LAST WEEK. THE SHOOTING HITS CLOSE TO HOME FOR SO MANY OF US. WE ALL KNOW STUDENTS ON THAT CAMPUS. AND WE SHARED IN THE FEAR AND PANIC THEIR FAMILIES FELT AS THEY WAITED FOR WORD. OUR HEARTS ARE WITH THE VICTIMS OF THE SHOOTING AND NOT JUST THOSE WHOSE LIVES WERE TAKEN, BUT ALSO THE STUDENTS WHO WITNESSED THE TERROR AND THOSE WHO WERE PLACED IN LOCKDOWN FOR HOURS. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES OF THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAD TO DEAL WITH THE MENTAL ANGUISH OF NOT KNOWING IF YOUR CHILDREN WERE OKAY.

A101, RECOGNITION OF THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING. AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO CALL ANN MARIE COURTNEY, DIRECTOR OF PARTNER ENGAGEMENT AND PHILANTHROPY AND OUTREACH. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT, CABINET MEMBERS, IT'S MY PLEASURE TO RECOGNIZE OUR PARTNER, THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING AND LIGHTNING FOUNDATION.
NOT FOR WHAT THE IMPACT THEY'VE HAD WITH OUR STUDENTS, ALTHOUGH THEY DEFINITELY HAVE HAD THAT. NOT FOR THEIR VOLUNTEERISM, IN CLASSROOMS AND AROUND SCHOOL CAMPUSES, ALTHOUGH THEY DO THAT TOO. TODAY WE RECOGNIZE THE SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT THAT THEY PROVIDED TO OUR EMPLOYEES AND SCHOOLS DURING A VERY UNSETTLING TIME WHEN WE WERE FACED WITH BACK TO BACK HURRICANES THIS PAST FALL. THE FAMILY THROUGH THE LIGHTNING FOUNDATION PROVIDED A GENEROUS DONATION OF $560,000 IN FINANCIAL HURRICANE RELIEF TO OUR EMPLOYEES. THIS FUNDING PROVIDED 112 EMPLOYEES WITH $5,000 EACH. THESE EMPLOYEES EXPERIENCED THE MOST SEVERE DAMAGE TO THEIR HOMES, PERSONAL PROPERTY, AND VEHICLES. BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE. THE GENEROSITY OF THE FOUNDATION CONTINUED IN JANUARY WHEN THEY PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL $250,000 FOR CONTINUED HURRICANE RELIEF TO OUR SCHOOLS. MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS NEEDED TO SERVE AS SHELTERS TO OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH TWO HURRICANES WHICH MEANT OUR SCHOOLS' CUSTODIAL SUPPLIES WERE UTILIZED FOR COMMUNITY GUESTS.
FUNDS TOTALING $233,000 ARE REPLENISHING THOSE SUPPLIES AT OUR SCHOOLS WHICH WERE DESIGNATED AS SHELTERS. IN ADDITION, $17,000 IN FUNDING HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO SEVEN OF OUR HARDEST HIT SCHOOLS FOR NEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM THE HURRICANES THEMSELVES OR POST-STORM CLEANUP RECOVERY CHALLENGES. IN LIFE, WHEN SOMETHING OF VALUE IS MEASURED, WE OFTEN SAY IT MEETS A GOLD STANDARD. OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING AND LIGHTNING FOUNDATION TRULY MEETS A GOLD STANDARD. AND WE TREASURE IT GREATLY. THIS AFTERNOON, WE PRESENT THE GOLDEN APPLE RECOGNITION AWARD IN APPRECIATION OF THE SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS TOWARDS HURRICANE RELIEF TAKEN BY THE LIGHTNING TO SUPPORT HCPS EMPLOYEES AND SCHOOLS THIS YEAR. PLEASE WELCOME TO THE PODIUM ELIZABETH FRASIER, VP OF PHILANTHROPY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS FOR THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING. THANK YOU, ANN MARIE FOR THOSE VERY KIND WORDS AND INTRODUCTION. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE TWO COLLEAGUES WHO HELP WITH THE TAMPA BAY STRONG INITIATIVE.
KATIE AND KATHERINE. THEY WERE A KEY PART OF THE WORK SO THANK YOU. AS YOU MAY KNOW, WE EMBARK ON A PLAYOFF RUN THIS EVENING AT 8:30 AGAINST THE FLORIDA PANTHERS. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALL DRESSED IN BLUE. BUT REALLY WE USE THE GREAT SPORT OF HOCKEY TO DO GREAT THINGS ON THE ICE AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY FOR US AND PART OF THE CORE VALUES IS TO DO GREAT THINGS OFF THE ICE. IT WAS TRULY OUR HONOR TO HELP YOUR EDUCATING OUR NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS FOR WHICH WE'RE IMMENSELY GRATEFUL. ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP YOUR ROLE AND POSITION AND THOSE WITH THE KIDS, HELP THEM, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. IT WAS TRULY OUR HONOR TO MAKE THE DONATIONS AND OUR OWNERSHIP GROUP STEPPED UP. MR. VINNICK DONATED $2 MILLION TO FIRST RESPONDERS AND TEACHERS THAT LOST THEIR HOMES AND THEN WE ANNOUNCED AN EXPANSION OF THE GROUP AND THEY DONATED ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS FOR HURRICANE RELIEF AND WE FUNDRAISED ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS WE WERE ABLE TO DONATE.
WE ALL THOUGHT THESE STORMS FELT DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW SOMEBODY THAT WAS IMPACTED AND TO HELP THOSE SUFFERING AND IN NEED WAS TRULY OUR HONOR AND GRATEFUL FOR OUR OWNERSHIP AND OUR EMPLOYEES FOR WHAT WE DO TO HELP AND HELP OUR KIDS IN EVERYTHING WE CAN DO. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. Jessica Vaughn: THANK YOU. Jessica Vaughn: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. WE VALUE AND APPRECIATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO A02, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS 2025 HIGH SCHOOL VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVES AND WINNERS OF THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL FUTURE VOTER ART CONTEST. AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO CALL UP MARIE ROGERS, SUPERINTENDENT OF K-5 SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION AND DR. MARTHA FORD, SUPERVISOR OF K-8 SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION. GOOD AFTERNOON, HONORABLE BOARD MEMBERS, BOARD CHAIR VAUGHN AND SUPERINTENDENT AYRES. IT IS MY PLEASURE -- IT'S OUR PLEASURE.
OUR PLEASURE. TO INTRODUCE MR. CRAIG LATTERMORE, SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS FOR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY. GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR, DISTINGUISHED BOARD MEMBERS, SUPERINTENDENT AND OF COURSE THE ALSO DISTINGUISHED GENERAL COUNCIL. IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE TODAY. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS AND I THINK Y'ALL KNOW THAT. WE HAD A LONG PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I'M VERY PROUD OF IT. I CAN JUST TELL YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE DID THIS TIME IS WE HAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL DESIGNING A NEW FUTURE VOTER STICKER THAT WE PASS OUT AT EVENTS AND ALSO PASSED OUT TO CHILDREN THAT COME WITH THEIR PARENTS TO VOTE, TO TRY AND ENGAGE THEM. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. WE'RE TRYING TO CIVICLY ENGAGE THESE STUDENTS TOO. THE OTHER BIG THING WE DO IS REGISTER AND PRE-REGISTER STUDENTS FOR VOTING. IN FLORIDA, YOU CAN REREGISTER AT 16 YEARS OLD.
WE'RE IN ALL THE HIGH SCHOOLS AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR, AND I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU SINCE I TOOK OFFICE IN 2013, WE HAVE REGISTERED OVER 38,000 STUDENTS, WHICH I THINK IS A GREAT MILESTONE. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO START PEOPLE AT A YOUNG AGE AND THAT'S THE KEY TO IT. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PEOPLE THAT WERE JUST UP HERE, KELLY BRENNAN AND LAURA HOBBY VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US GET INTO THE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND ARRANGING AND MAKING SURE WE HAD ACCESS AND WHAT WE COULD DO. THEY ALSO WORK -- OUR STAFF WORKED HARD WITH THE ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND I'D LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY STAFF I HAVE HERE WITH ME TODAY TOO. LET'S GET TO HAD AWARDS. I WANT TO START WITH THE VOTER REGISTRATION CHAMPIONS FIRST. WE'RE RECOGNIZING FIVE HIGH SCHOOLS. AT EACH SCHOOLS THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO REGISTERED TO VOTE DURING THE VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVES EXCEEDED 200 STUDENTS OR MORE THAN 33% OF THE SENIOR CLASS.
WHEN I CALL YOUR SCHOOL, IF YOU COULD HAVE REPRESENTATIVE COME UP, I'D APPRECIATE IT. ONE OF OUR FIRST CHAMPIONS IS EAST BAY HIGH SCHOOL. GAITHER HIGH SCHOOL. NEWSOME. DURANT HIGH SCHOOL. AND FINALLY, WE'VE NAMED A GRAND CHAMPION BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO REGISTERED TO VOTE AT THIS SCHOOL WAS THE HIGHEST AS A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR VERY LARGE SENIOR CLASS, 37% OF THEIR SENIOR CLASS. THEY ALSO HAD THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF STUDENTS REGISTERED OVERALL WITH 326 STUDENTS AND THAT WOULD BE SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL. BUT LET'S MOVE ON TO SOME MORE EXCITEMENT HERE. THE FUTURE VOTER STICKER FOR THE VOTE HILLSBOROUGH ART CONTEST. THIS YEAR AS I MENTIONED WE HAD ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL TO DESIGN THE STICKERS AND WE RECEIVED MORE THAN 130 ENTRIES. THIS IS HUGE. EVERY YEAR IT SEEMS WE GET MORE AND MORE WHICH IS GREAT. WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE THE TOP THREE WINNERS IN BOTH AGE GROUPS THIS AFTERNOON, AND WE'LL BE USING THIS ART IN OUR VOTER EDUCATION EFFORTS AND WE'VE MADE THE TWO FIRST PLACE DESIGNS INTO STICKERS THAT WE'LL BE HANDING OUT AS I MENTIONED EARLIER.
130 OF THESE ENTRIES, AND WE WORKED WITH OUR SPONSORS AND OUR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO PICK THE WINNER. YOU KNOW HOW WE DID IT? WE VOTED ON IT. SO BEFORE I CALL THE STUDENTS, I WANT TO THANK THE SPONSORS FOR THIS CONTEST. ZOO TAMPA, THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM AND GLASER CHILDREN'S MUSEUM. THEY'VE BEEN WONDERFUL PARTNERS NOT ONLY THIS YEAR BUT PAST YEARS AND THEY HAVE VERY EXCITING PRIZES FOR OUR FINALISTS. HERE WITH US TODAY IS SARAH COLE FROM GLASER'S CHILDREN MUSIC, ANTONIO FROM THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM, MARK HANEY FROM ZOO TAMPA WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE TODAY. I'D LIKE THEM TO COME UP AND BRIEFLY TELL THE KIDS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE GETTING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'M SARAH COLE FROM THE GLASER CHILDREN'S MUSEUM. WE'RE SO EXCITED TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS AMAZING EFFORT, CREATIVITY AND HELPING KIDS LEARN TO CARE ABOUT THEIR COMMUNITY AND BECOME GREAT CITIZENS EARLY.
WE THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT. ALL OUR WINNERS TODAY ARE GOING TO GET FOUR TICKETS SO THEY CAN BRING THEIR FAMILY TO THE MUSEUM AND COME HAVE A GREAT PLAYFUL DAY TOGETHER. HI. I'M FROM THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM. WE'RE VERY EXCITED. EVERY TIME CRAIG CALLS WE'RE EXCITED TO BE A PART OF THIS AND COLLABORATE TOGETHER ON THIS EXCITING RIGHT OF BEING AN AMERICAN THAT YOU GET TO DO THIS AND CONNECT SO EARLY IN LIFE. WE'RE ALSO PROUD -- I THINK WE MIGHT BE ONE OF THE ONLY AQUARIUMS IN THE COUNTRY THAT'S ACTUALLY A POLLING PLACE AS WELL. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT TOO AND PARTNER WITH CRAIG ON THAT AS WELL. SO EVERY -- WE WANT THE FAMILY TO ENJOY THIS BECAUSE OF THE GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ALL THE WINNERS. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE EIGHT TICKETS TO EACH WINNER SO THEY CAN COME TO THE FLORIDA AQUARIUM.
