So I have our preschooler who is Benjamin Fairbar and we're going to say some wonderful things about you today Benjamin. His teacher, Miss Marcato, wrote some wonderful things. Are you ready to hear them? >> She said that you have been working so hard in preschool. And you're a great helper. Is that true? >> Yes. And he's a wonderful role model to all the students in this class. He follows all of our school rules. You do. And all the routines of the day. >> Yes. And he is sweet and kind. You're very patient. and he loves to work on his communication with his friends and he tries his
003best every day. And Miss Marcato said she is so grateful that you're in her classrooms so she can be with you every day. We're so proud of you, Ben. >> Our student of the month, we have Oilia Bowden here and she is in Mrs. Ponting's class. And Mrs. Ponting said, "Oh my goodness, what a wonderful start of the year that she had. She has shown all of her Ranger strong qualities. She came to school so ready to learn. And is it true that you like to read and do some writing, Oilia? Do you like those things?" She said, "Oh my goodness, your writing was so good that she took it over and showed all the other teachers how wonderful your writing is." Um, she is respectful and helpful and she does all the ranger strong
004qualities all day long. So, thank you, Oilia. We're so proud of you. >> I have them. >> Good evening everyone. Tonight I have the pleasure of introducing two students from Liberty. First I have Riley Macauen. She's a first grade student in Mrs. Shardell's class. And Mrs. Shardell wrote that Riley is a fantastic example of what it means to be Ranger Strong. She shows respect and responsibility every day by following directions, listening to her teachers, remembering to raise her hand, and participating in class. Riley always gives her best effort, helps out around the classroom, and helps her peers when she sees a need. Way to go, Riley. And for second grade tonight, um, Logan Guard is being recognized. Logan is a second grader in Mrs. Rivera's class and she wrote that Logan has been so great
005to have in class. He is helpful, empathetic, and we can always count on him to participate in lessons. He's an amazing role model to other students. He works hard to get better every day and is always reflective. I am so proud of you, Logan. Next we have Mr. Sullivan from under evening. Good evening everyone. I'm glad that we could come out today. Um survive the snowstorm. The roads look pretty clear coming in. So great to see a good crowd here. We have three students to recognize today from INRA. Our first student is fourth grader Ariana Deli. So I'll say some nice things about Ariana. First, Ariana demonstrates necessity and ownership every single day at school. Whether tackling classwork or collaborating with classmates, Ari consistently shows responsibility, initiative, and a strong commitment to learning. She takes
006ownership of tasks without needing reminders and approaches challenges with determination. Her daily actions show a true understanding of what it means to be a leader in our classroom community. Thank you, Ari, for being a role model and showing us what hard work and dedication look like. We are so proud of you. Keep shining bright. Congratulations. Next is sixth grader Casey. some nice things to say about Casey. We admire Casey's curiosity, creativity, and strong sense of integrity. It's students like Casey who make our school community such a wonderful place. Congratulations. We are so proud of you. Congratulations. Um, eighth grader is Zion. Think of wonderful things here about Zion. Zion is a mature, kind, and thoughtful student who consistently sets a positive example for others. He approaches each day with a strong sense of responsibility and
007a clear focus on his goals. His determination to succeed is matched by his genuine care for others, always offering support and encouragement to his classmates. Zion's positive attitude and dedication make him a wonderful role model and a well-deserving student of the month. At Teal is proud to have a student like Zion in our classrooms. Congratulations to Teal. And I just have to say it's so it's great that we have so many great levels in in RACK because I see the students from third grade all the way up to 8th grade and can see them mature and have you know a great young man in Zion. >> Um with that said I will turn it over to Miss Durkin at RHTA. Great. Welcome everybody. I'm very excited to announce our um learners of the month for
008RXGA. Our first um learner is Liam Schmidt. And Liam was nominated by Coach Jorski. And this is what coach Jorski had to say about Liam. Liam is an outstanding example of what it means to be Ranger Strong. Last year, he demonstrated incredible commitment to his education with nearperfect attendance, missing only one hour for an appointment. This year, he's on track to do the same again, showing that he truly understands the importance of showing up and giving his best each day. Beyond his dedication to school, Liam is consistently kind and respectful to his peers. He's always willing to lend a hand when asked and contributes positively to our school community. His reliability, kindness, and strong work ethic make him a wonderful representative of what it means to be a major strong. And then our second um
009learner of the month is nominated by Coach Wy and this is Mara. She's in seventh grade. Um Coach Wiki said, "I'm excited to nominate Mara Esker as learner of the month for November." Mara has been recognized by her classmates for her collaboration and teamwork. One classmate wrote, "Mara Esper should be learner of the month because she is always pulling her weight in group projects and listens to collaborate with others in the group. Whenever someone is paired with her, they should know that their work is going to get done and it's going to be done well." Mara consistently demonstrates Ranger Strong behavior by her willingness to work with others. She is always kind and supportive in group. Keep up the great work, Mara. And now I would like to introduce Mrs. Hignite um at the next
010school. All right. So I have our oldest rangers here tonight. And first I'd like to introduce Mr. Okuchuku Mazu. Come on up. All right. So, we have a lot to say about this wonderful young man. So, OK is an 11th grader here at North Ridgeville High School. Um, and he consistently maintains straight A's and high honors. Math is his favorite subject. Um, his ultimate goal is to study electrical engineering or computer science at an Ivy League or other top tier engineering school. Um, so a little bit about how he's going to get there. Um, he currently is involved in basketball, soccer, and tennis. He participates in the chess club, model UN, and NHS. He enjoys programming, playing the piano, drawing, traveling, and engaging in community service. But that's not all. Um, OK has a research
011and volunteer experience. So he has co-authored research that he presented at the pediat pediatric academic oh my goodness let me try that again pediatric academic society international conference in Honolulu this past summer or summer fall >> summer um and he also co-presented a scoliosis related poster for the 2025 APA conference in Washington DC he's helped to serve over,300 patients annually during a philanthropic medical mission in Nigeria and with a part and was a part of the MSU International Foundation or the MIF. He has volunteered locally more locally in Baltimore and he has helped to serve health and vision screenings for more than 500 un under underserved families. Again, that's not all. His additional achievements include completing the AWS cloud practitional practitioner training and he is competing in the tech core hackathon and he has earned
012certificates in excellence in both his freshman and sophomore years. He's currently a participant in the NASA Glenn Research Center High School engineering scholars program and he was the first student of the North Ridge um to be promoted directly from seventh grade to high school. Early in his academic career, he received the Young Author's Writing Award two consecutive years in a row. So without further ado, Mr. Oaken Our second this month is Miss Abigail. Nice. North Bridgeell High School and she is very dedicated to music leadership and service. She's a section leader in both ac capella and treble choirs and she performs with spectrum of sound, plays the cello in our orchestra and has earned multiple superior ratings at the solo and ensemble. Gail is active in theater, a multitude of outside honors choirs and the
013Baldwin Wallace Conservatory Summer Institute. Gail maintains high grades, earning recognition at the academic recognition ceremony each year and is a membership of the National Honor Society. Beyond performing, she ser she serves her community through roles including the drama club 12th grade 12th grade representative, the student she's a student council member, she the counselor at a girls camp, and she is the counselor at her church's young women organization. Um, Gail hopes to attend Bowling Green State University or BYU Idaho and plans to major in music education with the coral emphasis and a secondary instrument of cello. Her dream is to become a choir director and help future students discover their own love of music. So, Gale Mountain I do want to thank all of the parents who are here tonight who brought your students of the
014month that we don't always have perfect attendance for all of you to be here in Julon honor the students that are in front of us today and as you're all aware they're all pretty awesome. So now Mrs. Hostetler will present some pretty amazing staff members of the month. >> Great. Congratulations to all of our students. Um it's such an honor of ours every month to to get to see our faces of our families and and friends in attendance and parents and grandparents how proud um you must be of all of your kids. But um I have the honor on behalf of the board of education to honor some of our educators every month. And certainly um these two are outstanding examples of adults in our district. And our first employee of the month uh this
015month is Erica Conner. Stay here. Erica was first hired in October of 2020 as a support staff substitute to train to be a school bus driver. Erica became a full-time driver in February of 2021 and has been a valuable member of our transportation department ever since. Erica was nominated by one of our administrators who had this to share about her. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Erica Conner over the past few years. Erica is such a wonderful presence in our school community. She is consistently kind, cheerful, and professional, not only with our students, but also with our teachers, staff, and administration. Erica communicates clearly and positively with our team, always ensuring smooth coordination during pickup and drop off. She greets everyone, students and adults alike, with a big smile and a fun,
016upbeat attitude. Erica also collaborates closely with us on student discipline and interventions, always approaching situations with fairness and care. Recently during a meeting, a parent went out of their way to compliment Erica, sharing how nice, and fun she is with their daughter. That kind of feedback reflects what we see every day. Erica goes above and beyond to make students feel safe, seen, and happy on our buses. Bus drivers play such an important role in shaping the start and end of each of our students um days and Erica exemplifies what it means to do that with heart. Congratulations. >> Our second employee this month is Sheila. Sheila also nominated one of our students. >> Coach Wood was hired in April of 2017 as a STEM teacher at the then new Ranger High-Tech Academy where she continues
017to teach um today. Since joining the North Ridgeville City School District, she has served on curriculum development committees, building leadership teams, served as a teacher mentor, and has been an instructional leader and grade level chair. Sheila was nominated by one of her colleagues who had this to share on her behalf. I've had the privilege of working ali alongside her for many years. Throughout it all, she has been nothing short of amazing. Every year, without fail, students name her as their favorite teacher. Former students return to visit, seek her advice, and often share, even well into their high school or after graduation, that she was the best teacher that they ever had. Her impact is lasting, and her dedication to her students is unmatched. As a co-teer, she not only is a leader within our team,
018but also across the entire building. Staff members regularly turn to her for guidance, support, and inspiration. She is someone everyone can count on. truly the glue that holds us together. Her commitment, compassion, and leadership make our school a better place for everyone, students and staff alike. Here's to Coach Woodkey for always showing up, lifting others, and reminding us all to lean into our learning. Sheila is an outstanding educator, and we're thrilled to speak of >> and I just like to thank all of our parents. um staff and students who can make nominations all the time. It's such a nice way to share information and good news happening from the district. So, congratulations again. I think we're going to take a break to have pictures. So, if our students and staff of the month um would
019come up, please, and get a group photo. places that we're going to kind of talk about today and that has been a focus for us at Enraf. Um you see achievement there is three stars and our early literacy is two. Um, so those are two areas I'm going to highlight a little bit tonight. Um, just so you see what we're kind of doing, uh, to attack those areas and make sure that we are making some progress there. Um, just, you know, a quick summary here of some a bullet point that we are doing to address some of those needs from our report card. Um, we're looking at the Ohio readiness assessments benchmark and our checkpoint assessments. I'll talk about those a little bit later um, to explain, you know, what those really are. Um, we
020are looking at maximizing our range of times to ensure intervention and enrichment opportunities are differentiated for our students. Something that our associate principles are really diving into this year to make sure that they have a really clear understanding of what's happening during that time. Uh, ensuring consistent use of our early literacy materials and fidelity to tier one instructional practices. I've talked a lot uh with Dr. Miller about um, you know, getting in the classrooms and making sure some of that instruction is is really sticking to the curriculum resources that we've provided. We're strengthening um our TBT practices. This year we took a different focus with our TBTs and focusing a lot on strategies. Past couple years we've we've on just team functioning, getting our TBTs working in the way that we want them to work.
021Um we've done a had some great strides over the past couple years with our TBTs. So we were able to really hone in on the strategy that we're using classroom and focusing on that for our our TBTs. We are strengthening MTSS practices. We're looking at academic behavior, attendance, and SEO to really support students. And that's something districtwide that we're really focusing on here. Um, and I'll talk a little bit more about that in a moment. Fostering a positive and collaborative culture, not only for our staff, but also for our students. Something that's really important to us. Um, and I'm going to mention um something about our our staff culture here. It's been a lot of fun for us this year. And then we are celebrating uh building level successes regularly to sustain momentum um and
022um just trying to celebrate the really good things that our kids are doing um and our staff are doing in the building. So just a few things that uh you know we're working on here in the building. Um those are Oh, I don't know if you can click on that. I'll just talk briefly about all our building goals. So, our building goals this year um really align with our one needs assessment and our our district goals as well. Um things that we know we need to focus on at Interrach. Um focus on our building constantly. Um not only districtwide, but just really in our building. Um as I talked about, we're continuing to to improve student achievement. um really focusing in on those TBTs and our implementation of TBTs, reviewing our TBT forms, giving monthly
023feedback from our BLT to our TBTs, which has really improved this year. Um how we're streamlining some of that feedback from our billing level uh teams, and really emphasizing evaluating data, identifying and implementing strategies to support student learning um and curriculum implementation. Goal number two um is really looking at MTSS and what we want to try to focus on um in terms of behavior attendance academics um resulting in the reduction of students on attendance improvement plans reduction in students uh without school suspensions and increase in academic support based on some of the student data that we are collecting. We'll talk a little bit about PBIS um our attendance teams and things like that later on in the presentation. fostering positive relationships with and a collaborative working environment with all of our uh employees. Um we
024are creating opportunities for staff collaboration, appreciation and celebration. Something that we have really done a a really good job of this year. Um I think it's been a lot of fun for our staff and I'll talk about that in a moment. And our last goal is building upon the confidence and support of our community by the end of the school year. trying to increase our family and community engagement um as measured by participation in school events, volunteer hours, feedback surveys um resulting in improved student attendance, behavior, and academic academic engagement. Um and this is a this is a big lofty goal. We're in a huge building. Um a lot of grade levels here. Uh so this is a goal that um I think is really important and something that we will continue to work on
025year after year. >> Thanks going back to your original presentation. Okay, >> I just wanted to touch on this. So, I'm just going to focus on two of those building goals here tonight. So, if we look at MTSS, one of those um those goals, our goal two here in the building, um it focus on on a few different things, social emotional learning and career-based um learning. um something that we've really taken to heart here at INRAC this year and in for the first two years that I did. Um I have a gold star by the Panorama Education Program, although there are other uh programs that we really focus on here in the in the building. Um Mr. Andrews is back here in the audio today. He's really taken a lead role um with implementing Panorama
026in our in our district. And what we do with Panorama, it's a survey that we gave to our students early in the year, and we'll do it again um later in the year to kind of see growth, but it measures for our our counselors and our administrators where our students show some need, um social emotional needs, um what they can focus on as counselors in small groups, um different things our teachers can do with those students when they're in the classroom. Uh so we've really taken um some of that data. uh we sat down as as an admin team and counselors and looked through that data um tried to group our students accordingly and make sure we are trying to snag some of those kids who really need some support um that they aren't necessarily
027getting uh you know outside of our our school. So uh Panorama has been a big help for that this year. Academically, um the readiness assessments has a gold star by it. Something I think that our building has been working towards the past couple of years. Um the readiness assessments are a benchmark assessment that students can take twice a year and checkpoint assessments that they can take throughout the year um on different standards that the state provides. The cool thing about this um is it mirrors the state assessment. So it mirrors the rigor of the state assessment and it mirrors um how questions are designed and given out to the students. The importance of that is we want our students to understand what those state assessments are actually asked, how those questions are asked um so
028that they can answer those questions the best they can. Um we want our teachers to be exposed to that as well along with our students. So, we've really taken um a big stance this year and getting as many students as we can to jump into those readiness assessment benchmarks and those checkpoint assessments. Additionally, we've got Sunday um benchmark advance um just two programs that we are using to focus on that early literacy component um of our report card and try to improve that area as well. Uh behaviorally, uh another part of NTSS, we've got our um students of the month which you just saw today. Uh, and I I know I put my son's picture on there. Um, he was student of the month last last month and I didn't even know it. I was
029just walking through the cafeteria and his teacher's fabulous. She's like, "Are you are you going to stay? Why? Well, your son's going to do them." It was really cool and I was I was really proud of him. But I'm always proud of our students like today um when we can celebrate their successes. Riders on the Rich has been a program that our transportation department um began uh which has been hugely successful and it's always fun each month to have our um transportation department come into our building and hand out those prizes to the student. It's just absolute blast. Um not the students aren't expecting. It's just such a surprise um a really great surprise for our kids. And then attendance, I want to celebrate um Mrs. Vance, um, Miss Vance, sorry. Um, for her role
030in stay in the game network, um, that we have kind of joined this year with the Cleveland Browns. Um, it's been an awesome start to the year. Uh, we've had some snags, but we are really working through some of those wrinkles. Um, you see the celebration that we have with our Browns Day um, early in the year. We are also with the stay in the game, we are taking a really close look at some of the atrisisk connections. We haven't focused really on on some of those students who are in the at risk category. Um our associate principles looked at our school and tried to design um some measurements there where we could find students who hadn't yet met that benchmark to be considered chronically truent so we can catch them before they get to
031that point. So they've done a really good job of that. And I just want to say I put this little uh statistic in here. Last year uh we were at about about this time about 20% of our students were considered chronically truent. This year we have dropped 8% to 12%. Um so I think that that's a huge improvement um year-over-year. Um I'd like to say it's because of our hard work with staying. >> Absolutely. >> Um so we'll continue that. >> Okay. >> Goal number three, going back to that positive working environment. Um, languages of appreciation is something that we started this year. >> Uh, and it's been it's been a really cool process because, um, the languages of appreciation, it's not even a program. It's just a way to appreciate each other. It's kind
032of like those five love languages. We all know those love languages. It's it's the appreciation languages in the workplace. So, we've taken a really hard stance as admin to present just ways to appreciate each other as staff, as students. Um but it's not something that we wanted to be admin led and directed and our staff if you want to go to the next slide Paul have really taken it to heart. Um we've done some really great um activities throughout the year. We've done some cool things with PD days as we have worked through that text and talked about the languages um themselves and how we can show appreciation to each other. And I can tell you just by experience that it's permeating our building. you know, we see just people giving appreciation all the time.
033Um, and it hasn't been directed by anybody. So, it's been really cool to see that culture developing in the building this year. And finally, um, I want to highlight this group that I highlighted last year as we started, our student advisory leadership team. Um this is that group of students that meets with me once a month to uh just kind of look at our building, talk about what we can improve um as administrators um but moreover uh give voice to the students in our building. Now these are eighth graders and you can see clear to the left is Zion who was one of our students today. Um so this is the best of the best. These are teacher uh recommended students that come to me. Um and you know we get pizza, we sit down,
034we have some good conversation. We're going to do a training um on the 18th, a leadership training which I'm really excited about uh and the students are too. So um you know these are the best and the brightest in our building and are really providing a voice to all the students to see some um some things that they think we can improve on and uh you know to make uh that stance before they leave our building. And then finally, as we near the holiday break, our interact staff and students are still working hard to continue working towards meeting those building goals. So, we're always looking to improve and always working hard to do that. Um, so thank you. I hope that uh, you know, it wasn't too long to wait for that money. Um, but
035it's always nice to have. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Last but not least, I would like to introduce uh Mayor Kevin Corkerin, Daryl, and Karen Edwards who are all here today to present to our staff members uh some various grants that they have all throughout the years that ultimately will benefit our students in the classroom every day. So begin. Thank you. Good evening everybody. Uh thank you to the board, the administration, and the attendees for coming. You know, it's snow day. We weren't sure how many people we would have show up, but thank you for your presence. Uh you know, there are 15 members of the endowment funds representing students, schools, and community. And we are proud to present this year's grants to the staff and support personnel. There are three separate fund sources within
036the endowment funds. the general endowment fund, the fine arts fund, and the Shannon Edwards Memorial Fund. Over the past 34 years, the endowment funds have grown due to the generous contributions of businesses, North Ridgel City Schools employees, parents, and private individuals. Grant awards are funded from the interest generated by the investment of these contributions, allowing a perpetual source of funding to enhance the educational experience experiences of North Ridgel City School students. And this year we're awarding 31 grants totaling $16,510. So, with that being said, we're going to start off. Uh, if the staff isn't here, if the principles could grab some of these because we have quite a few. Um, >> Todd Be first up. >> Just keep going and keep this moving fast. Stacy Arbot, >> Karen Krenovix, >> Britney Trimmer, >> Julie Tinder,
037>> Brandon M, Aaron Reynolds, Thank you. >> Angela Durban. >> She's not >> Jessica Darby. >> Just Darby for Burner. Linda Riner >> Melissa H Stacy Quinn Gretchen sorry and Linda Riner. >> I was gonna wait till you sat down, but >> Okay. So, that was the general. >> That was the general. >> We have more. >> Not as cool as that piss from. >> I I feel like I never accomplished anything. I know I see a little bit left. >> This is for the arts fund. >> Yes, the arts fund. Right. >> Jessica Gman, >> Lisa Cormarmac, Haley Bryson, and Haley Bryson. All right. And then the Edwards will take care of the Shannon Edwards memorial as well. >> Thank you, Kevin. >> Sure. >> Okay. Here we go. All right, we have Karen
038and myself. We're here. This is our 24th year. 24 years. We've been missing our little but anyway, we're trying to keep positive spin as much as we can and we're honored to be able to present grant awards from the memorial fund that was established in her name. It was established in 2001 to celebrate the rich but short life of our daughter Shannon. Shannon passed away suddenly in March of that year. At the time she was a fifth grade student at Willox Elementary School. Will Cox everybody and I wanted to establish this memorial fund as a way to express our appreciation and gratitude to the North Bridge Midrell City School District for their outstanding and continuing response and support in selecting recipients for the grant awards to be funded from the Shannon Edwards mobile fund. Uh
039the endowment funds look for proposals which would benefit students with special needs. uh have enrichment programs or would support programs and activities that Shannon might have enjoyed. Our pleasure at this time to be able to present the grant awards to the teachers and staff who submitted those grant applications. And since a lot of people probably don't know our our daughter had physical issues, not mental issues, it was all she had a rare disease that did not give her strength. So she couldn't run, she couldn't climb steps, but she could walk and she had a she could talk very well. It was hard to understand her. >> Yeah, she understand. >> Yeah, she knew what she was talking about. >> Okay, so we'll begin with our first one with Jordan Andrews. And there's another Gretchen Herzburgger.

045the districts we've served. So, we're really happy to be here with uh, North Rachel. >> And what does this mean as far as a guaranteed maximum price? What's that mean to the district exactly? So this purposes >> this gives the district a uh contractual obligation from Hammond Construction that uh we are going to deliver the new high school for for the money that's stated in the value stated in the guaranteed maximum price proposal. Naturally, there are going to be changes and we recognize it during construction. But based on um everything that we know today, which is really the lion share of the project, um we are guaranteeing that price. Um in addition to that, there are some opportunities for additional savings. So, we're going to go out to market and we're going to solicit subcontractor
046bids and um if those bids come in under that amount, we will return the savings back to the school district and you can use that for added value back to your facilities. If those bids come in and exceed that amount, that is our risk and Hammond will fund that overage >> and we should can look forward to on time on budget and possible savings. >> Absolutely. >> Transportation building looks amazing as that's wrapping up finishing touches.
