Um I think it's a it's an excellent team and I'm really proud of what we've done and um look forward um to to some amazing things with this group. Uh I'm actually going to start with a couple of our internals that are moving into desired positions and so um would like to call up Andrea Vance. Andrea, please. Andrea has spent over 18 years in the in the district um in North Ridgeville. She has been at Lear and ETLC um for the past 15 years. And so, um, when there was an opening at the third and fourth grade level at ENRACK, uh, she started having conversations with us about, um, a
004new challenge and just how happy that she's been at ECLC. But just knowing that she wanted to work with the team and Mr. Sullivan's team and the other associates in the building, she really felt like this would be a really good move for her at this point. And we were thrilled because we would love to keep her here. Um, but also know that it is nice um, to have a new challenge. and she did teach middle school um to wage dad, right? So years ago and so would like to um have a little bit older of a of an age range. So she will be our associate um at ENRA at 34. Um but we're thrilled about the articulation and um being able to have a a a literacy team um really with her experience
005from the prek level all the way through grade four. So that's going to be a great value to us in this building. So thank you and welcome. Thank you. Our second internal candidate moving is Mrs. Jennifer Pinto. Jennifer's love. Um Jennifer came to us last year if you remember as our assistant at Liberty. Um she came to us as a teacher from thestead Falls City School District for a long time in a preK building. Her passion is the youngest and getting that first experience of kids coming to school and so couldn't wait um to jump on an opportunity. She also spent some time um at Keystone as a literacy coach. So again, having this um team work together from the preK uh grade four level, I think is going to be a a tremendous asset.
006Um she is just so thrilled um to talk to her about, you know, meeting parents who are bringing and sending kids to school for the very first time and we think that that will be just a great move for you and we are thrilled to welcome you to DCS. We have two new um candidates coming to the North Bridge City Schools that were approved just a couple of minutes ago that we are thrilled to have. I think we're very very fortunate to bring in the talent that these two um are going to be bringing into our building. Um I will stay um with Enra right now and introduce Mr. John Townsen. We're thrilled to have John. John comes to us from the Garfield Heights City School District. Um John had a career there as a
007social studies teacher. Uh he was a Baldwin laws college grad and then went to um Garfield Heights uh as a teacher, as a high school teacher. He became an assistant principal there. He was promoted the principal there. and um just you know had had conversations with me throughout the spring about just trying to get into the wonderful things that's happening in North Bridgeville and just being part of Mr. Sullivan's team and um you know just being able to take on the role of grades seven and eight. So John will be joining us um in grades seven and eight at Enrach. Um you know as most of the important hires that I make, he's a Cleveland Browns fan. So that's always to me. Um but you know just you know the the things that he talked
008about throughout you know the interview process and getting the opportunity to bring him on board is a is a great get for the North Bridge City Schools. So thank you. And our next candidate tonight is Mrs. Kelsey Bolina. All right. Kelsey is joining us from the Avon uh both city schools and she has been working as an assistant principal at their high school for the past three years. Uh she is a science teacher by trade. So, she was a high school science teacher at both Ayria and in the Avon city schools. Um, and as an intern, we are bringing her on as an assistant at the high school uh for next year. Um, we are thrilled to have her. We think, you know, with her background and and the curriculum and the work that she
009has done, we were just thrilled, Megan and I, to bring her on to the high school team and to bring in uh some of the great ideas that she has um, you know, as as we build our new high school and build that team. Uh we're we're thrilled to have her. Um Kelsey also um is a Cleveland Browns fan. So I um welcome them and uh couldn't be happier to be introducing you to these four individuals.
