So now we will have Olivia Odell with our elementary report and our sixth grade outdoor school presentation. [Music] Hi, I'm Olivia Adele. Spring
003showcase last week. At spring showcase last week, we hosted families for our annual spring showcase. Students had the opportunity to showcase their special projects and other assignments in their classrooms, visit the gym to see PE and music specialists, and go out to the book fair hosted by Junior the Junior Bobcat Club. Everyone was encouraged to check out the great work around the campus from kindergarten from the kindergarten hallway filled with the art projects um from our recent one book one school read the water horse the water horse to sixth grade science fair projects the great works of all were on display. The paw patch hosted a fabulous plant sale and will be back next week to host all things garden for our third graders. This is a collaborative project between the OSU Extension Office, UMqua
004Valley Beekeepers Association, and our fabulous group of garden volunteers. We would love for you to stop by. We hosted our first ever clothing exchange during our spring showcase, which gave families the opportunities to donate gently used clothing and pick up some new to them clothing for their children. This event was organized and run by our very own Miss Claire. She plans to make this an annual event and to add it during our school regist our school registration in August. Be on the lookout for more details in the coming months. Our sixth grade leaders were interviewed last week by the news review to share their experience as house leaders. The students were well spoken and shared from their from from their hearts what the experience has meant to them and how the house system has changed
005our school. The article is due to be published in the news review in the last week of May. I would like to recognize our sixth grade leaders and thank them for their guidance over the past two years. Vinnie Allison, Norah Campbell, Govari, Dylan Deaks, Camden Gonzalez, Nolan Goodman, Thatcher Johnson, Kyvin Orwella, Corbin Rodri, Reed Shatenker, and Betty String. Many of these sixth graders are here to present to you tonight regarding their trip to outdoor school. Thank you for your time. [Applause] Okay. Thanks. Hello, my name is Dylan Deaks. Hello, my name is Dylan Deetsz. Uh, it took a lot of special pieces to make this outdoor school trip possible. Um we needed um a beautiful place, some amazing instructors, a fund from measure 99 and you all to make it possible. Uh welcome to camp
006motor. meet our uh coil outdoors instructor, Coach Fish, Squatch, Huckleberry, Birch, and Raven. Our outdoor school gear was a backpack and lanyard, which were colorcoded to our cabins, and our field study groups. In our backpacks, we had our field study notebooks, our pencils, and our water bottles. On our field study notebooks, we had colored the front cover and numbered the inside pages. And we had written down what our instructors had taught us on the inside. Now, I'd like to hand it off to Ben. While we were at outdoor school, we read a book called Lost on a Mountain in May. It's about a 12-year-old boy who survives nine days out on Mount Kata all alone with no supply for food or water, no shoes or pants, and no and he had to live with bears
007and swarming biting insects. We read this book at night and sometimes in the mornings with our cabins. We took notes about loss mount in Maine in our field study books so that to record what we were reading in our book. Now I'd like to hand it off to that. Hello. Hello. My name is Thatcher and we had eight ma amazing uh instructors. We also had eight different types of field studies that we went to. This is a picture um made by Dylan Deaks himself which is um Camp Myrtlewood surrounded by all of the activities and foraging. We had uh wood swirl and Pacific water leaf. Um, and the woods swirl tasted very bitter, sour, and the woods and the Pacific water leaf tasted very bitter. Um, and we also had some really yummy uh salmon
008berry jam. And now I'm going to hand it off to Nolan or Betty. Navigation. So, in navigation was taught by Squatch. She was fabulous activity. We learned how to put coordinates onto a compass and put red thread in the shed. And we also played a game with our compasses. We would put coordinates into them and we would find a letter on a stick and we would add it up all to a word. Now, I'd like to introduce this to Nolan. for tracking. We took a silent hike and he coach Fish the instructor had set out 15 objects that don't belong in the forest and we had a silent hike just trying to observe and then at the end of the hike he would ask how many we found. So, at the start, he didn't tell
009us how many there were. So, that we had to be honest so that we couldn't say we found we found 20. And then he would know if we were lying or not. Then we walked back and we were like, "Oh, that's where they were." Then after all of that, we sat down in a little circle and he took out turkey feet and deer antlers and had us guess where they were from. and then had us he explained all about them. Now I'm handing it off to him. In Knots and Cordage, we had learned how to make slip knots and square knots. And at the end, uh we had done a big tugof-war challenge to see how many kids it would to take to defeat our instructor. Now I'd like to hand it off to um
010it took I think three students to beat our instructor. I'm Campbell and I'm going to be talking about how to build a fire which was instructed by Coach Fish. So, we would we had a partner and we'd gather materials around like the space we had and he would give us three matches. Um, you should probably not trust kids with matches. Um, and we would light a fire and if we could keep it for 3 seconds, then we would win. We also tried this with a striker or a ferro rod and which was easier for me. And if we hold that for 3 seconds, we also So yeah, and the coach Fish made it very fun. Now I'm handing it off to Reed. Hello, I'm Reed. And for shelter, we had Raven. And so we would
011have a tarp and we would give in three stakes with uh rope and then we we couldn't use the eyelets in the uh in the tarp. And then so we had to use a dead hang which is where we stuffed leaves into the corner and we had to tie a knot around it. And then once we build our forts, which we were given a 10-minute timer, then we then Raven had us go underneath of our shelters, and the louder the other kids made a storm noise, then the more water she would pour on, and we were trying not to get wet. Thank you. I'd like to hand it off to Vinnie. For trapping, we learned about kinetic energy and potential energy. And then we split up into groups of four to try to build traps
012to see if they could withstand an animal. Now, I'd like to hand it off to Cam. All right. Hi, I'm Cam. Uh, first day was all about like treating wounds and stuff. Um, and so we got to learn about how to make like a stretcher in the so like out of materials in the forest. So you basically use two sticks and tarp and you put the two sticks you wrap one side, you wrap the other and then you got you have your homemade um stretcher. So we experimented that by putting people on it and carrying it 30 feet one way or the other. and um back. And then we also learned about how to um bandage people. Like they gave us a hands-on experience about a backpack. You get a backpack and you have like
013bandages in it and you wrap and try to help them survive. Try to help the people you're helping survive. All right. So for dining hall and meals, we had three fresh meals prepared for us each day. Um we were some cabin groups were responsible to help clean up set up and clean up. Um and before we eat, we would have a moment of gratitude. Um and we were encouraged to only take what we would eat and seconds were always served. And we it when after we got our dinner or lunch or something, we would enjoy the company of our cabin muds and then announce and then um Birch would give us an announcement uh the camp director will give us an announcement of upcoming events which is like campfire or what we were doing the
014next day. And then that's just a whole bunch of pictures. Now I'd like to hand it over to Betty. Our high school leaders were a great help. We could have not done this without them. They were the leaders of our cabin time and our activities. They were the heart and soul of ensuring all was well and went smoothly in in the mornings and evenings with our cabin time. Things went great with them. it and in and daily recreation time with our cabins. It was a blast with our high school years. Now I'm handing this to Nora. I'm Nora again to talk about activity time. So first off, the campers got a choice. Um they got two of the different activities to do and there was five of the activities. There was archery, survival based, storytelling,
015observation, and nature art. a fact about or not a fact but this is a great example of archery and a safety thing they did at cool outside for archery was there was like a line that have sticks in front of us and if somebody stepped over it and then seen us then we' scream stop we'd correct that error and move on and then nature art we would gather mud materials we could find on the ground we'd grind them if we needed to we'd use our hand print we'd finger paint and we also had quills to Yeah, there was storytelling where we go to the top of a hill. We tell stories and I believe that the kids could tell their own stories. Okay. And there was about 15 stories told. And lastly, the night height.
016You could do this on like by choice. It didn't really matter how many students were in there. Just raise your hand or I think you had to write your name on the paper and then you were in. It was this was during um campfire time and you could either stay and enjoy a campfire or go in the night hike. That's all I have for activity time. Thank you for your time and now here's Reed. Recreation time was always a recreation time was always a time that everybody was looking forward to. And so there we would be split up by our cabin groups. And so we had field games. So we would go out into the field which had swings and it had kickball, baseball, stilts, bad mitten, the swings and then volleyball. And then we
017had the basketball hoops which were by the boys cabins. And then if we didn't want to be in our area, our whole cabin could decide if we wanted to do watercolors or hike. We could also practice our skits. And then in the dining hall, we had shuffleboard, pingpong, and foosball. Now, I'd like to hand here's the dining hall. And here's the field. And here's a drawing of the field that we did during activity time. And I'd like to hand it off to Nolan. Every night the coil instructors would provide us and make a a very warm welcoming campfire. They would make a very warm welcoming campfire. There would be follow after me songs, skits, and storytelling. In the dining hall, you could sign up for the show and share. A lot of students signed up
018for it. So, we had a lot of show and share students. We had storytelling, just fun making jokes. We even had a solo singer and a solo person who went up and did burpees. What was me? Then at the start we would open our portal with a high pitch noise and then at the end Raven the instructor would tell a long story like a lifong no not a lifelong story a life lesson story and by by the end of the night we would close our portal with a low pitch noise. Now I'd like to hand it off to Vinnie. On the latch last day, we got to go to the beach and we had a sand castle building contest. We were judged on teamwork, use of natural materials, and aesthetics. The equipment we were given
019was a bucket, a shovel, and uh student creativity. The winner was the black cabin and the judges loved their use of creativity and how they worked together as a team. For our t camp naming activity throughout the week, the high our high school leaders would try to think of names that related to us to nature. I was named Big Dipper. I was Clover. I was Quill Owl. I was Osprey. I was hunter. I was a mantis. And I was track outdoor school. Thank you for your time. Oh [Applause] sh. That looks amazing. Can I add really fast that that takes a lot of planning, a grant writing, grant writing, grant budgeting, lots of prep. Um, our three teachers, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. Tester took children with volunteers that gave up their time to for
020three nights, four days, three nights. And it's just an amazing and I just that all of the goes to that. So, thank you [Applause] Okay, I think we are on to the middle school report. Uh, Audrey. Um, hi, my name is Audrey Odell and I have the middle school report for tonight. Middle school athletics wrapped up the school year at the Little Fur League District Championships on May 10th. And our girls team came home with a first place plaque. We also had one athlete, Addie Johnson, qualified for the Oregon meet of champions in the 100 meter hurdles. The meet was on the 16th in Corvalis, and Addie had a strong performance, moving up three places in state rankings.

And the annual FFA banquet is happening as we speak. I encourage you all to wrap this meeting up quickly and get over to the main gym for some good food and celebration. High school
024athletics are getting ready for their big finish as well. OSET competed in the state championship May 8th through 11th. All Glide athletes on the team qualified in at least one event. None of them qualified for regionals, but they had a fantastic season and are looking forward to next year. They wrapped up their season with a donkey basketball fundraiser game where students competed against staff members. It was a fun time for everyone. GHS track and field hosted the Manion Mai last night and were joined by 14 other schools. It was a huge success with 20 Wildcats getting silver medals, nine taking gold, the boys team taking second overall, and the girls team taking first. The team will send 40 varsity athletes compete in the special district first league championships this Thursday and Friday at Suslaw High
025School. We have a handful of athletes who are state qualifying hopefuls. High school baseball and softball will play their last regular season games this Thursday in Harrisburg. Baseball is sitting in second place in the Far West League. We will know that Thursday night where they will play on Monday in round one of the state playoffs. Softball is in third place in the league, but expects to be an atlarge qualifier in the state playoffs based on their state ranking of number 15. They too will play on Monday if they qualify. So think positive. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at graduation. [Applause] We are now going to have a wellness committee presentation by John Black and Abe Blum. Ben did a great job. How's everybody doing so far? Good. So, uh, John and
026I prepared a presentation. It should take about half an hour. Uh, so it should be good time. I was joking. We'll go fast. Yeah. So, last year we had a really successful organic movement of staff and some students running in the Eugene Marathon. um that and a combination of our HR director and Thrive Umpqua encouraged the district to start a wellness committee. Um so with the wellness committee and Thrive Umpqua, we were encouraged to apply for a wellness grant for staff. Um it would be funds allocated exclusively for staff's uh mental and physical well-being. As broad as that may be, that was what the grant was for. Oh, here's the amount. So, uh, yeah. So, we did this partnership. We applied for the the grant. We ended up getting it. So, it was super awesome.
027And the grant is up to $150,000 just for staff. So, the first year was $40,000. Um, and so yeah, anything that covers mental or physical health. Um, and yeah, it's an awesome way to give back to staff and anything that they want to do or ideas that they would come up with in surveys. Um, so we had a committee and we had goals, we had, uh, cooking classes, physical activity classes, and a sense of misery in the snow and all those fun things. So, uh, we wrapped up this first year and got the budget for next year. So, yeah. So, some of the programs that we tried to do and we had an amazing wellness committee of of volunteers to try to figure out how we were going to be using these funds and giving
028them out to setting up programs and giving them to staff in a way that we could try to have everyone included. Um, through the year we would put out surveys to try to get staff feedback and encourage staff to participate in these programs, but it was all optional. So, some of the more successful programs were our women on weights. Um, that was something that we had through most of the year. Um it was a pretty consistent group of women going to that. Um and the goal of that was just to provide a time and a space that the weight room at the high school was closed off to the general public just to provide a space where a personal trainer could come in and show not only show people how to use the uh equipment
029but also um give them guidance on that sort of thing. So that was something that uh was requested and it was a very successful um uh program and we plan to do that again next year. Um another one would be our staff smoothies and soups um with a ton of help from Thrive Umpqua. Uh through the whole year, almost the whole year, we had um soup or smoothie signups depending on the weather. So in the winter time we did soups and in the shoulders we did smoothies. Um, and through that time, 65% of staff took advantage of that throughout the year, which was incredibly successful, having every Thursday a smoothie delivered to you or delivered to the office. Um, and that was something that, uh, worked super well. Um, we had a reimbursement program that
03030% of the staff took advantage of. Um, it was up to $100 on uh, anything that was deemed as something for physical or mental well-being. Um, most of the staff that took advantage of that, it was for things like running or walking shoes, which totally fits the goal of the program and we were super happy to see that. Mr. Freeman bought a new scope and and did that. So, he didn't actually do that. Uh, we had um some we tried to get myself. Yeah. So, we had a walking club as well. Um this is a couple examples of just like uh staff that initiated uh clubs and the walking club was twice a week led by Mr. Claire um averaged three participants and basketball club was led by Ben Kercher and they averaged about uh
03110 staff members twice a week. So kind of an example where uh the wellness grant could pay a small stipen to those staff members to run those clubs and invite other staff members to go Uh we had a super success successful staff holiday party that the wellness committee was able to pay for the catered lunch. Um we went to Diamond Lake and went cross-country skiing with uh staff uh went over the lake to Southshore Pizza. All staff were invited to all of these events. Uh, and then like we done in the past, we encouraged a bunch of staff members to try to run the Eugene Marathon with a great turnout and we would reimburse staff for uh up to $100 of that fee, which meant it was almost free. So, um, it was great that
032we were able to kind of come back around to one of the reasons that the whole thing started. Here are some photos of top left on weights in the center top center. That was a photo from the uh crossc country skiing. Uh bottom left was an art class that we provided to staff. Um we uh in the bottom center is um a staff member running the Eugene Marathon and in the bottom right was a cooking class that Ben Kercher put on. We had two cooking classes, but Ben did one of them for us, which is pretty sweet. And well, and and if you back up the guy, the Blake Bechum, he's a music teacher at the elementary. That was his finish photo of the marathon. That's how exciting he was. That was a joke or
033something. So the survey, so uh we had a survey at the end uh of the year. 93% of the staff said that they benefited directly from the grant. Um our winter event, the Christmas party, we had 92% of the staff uh that attended that event. Um so yeah, all the staff classifications were there and participated. Uh so this is something that we not only had this year but we are expecting to have over the next two years as well. So we should have more information on that next week and the week after. But it's looking very optimistic that our funding will continue. And we plan to continue many of these same programs that were successful from this year and kind of use that skeleton for next year and make um kind of the whole process
034easier on everyone involved but um still provide those resources to staff and that funding um in a way that hopefully benefits as many people uh at the district as possible. And if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask. But uh I imagine I just want to say one of our board members also ran in the marathon. John Quinnby. John did awesome. Second year in a row and had like a 45minute PR and yeah he did he did super awesome. So super proud. Yeah. Yeah. And we had students run again this year which is amazing. What a successful program. fivequa actually were the people that brought the grant to us and and kind of encouraged us to apply. Um for a while we were planning not to because it was a lot of work,
035but um we did see it as an opportunity that was probably something we should definitely try for. And holy smokes, it's pretty sweet that we ended up doing that. And huge props to Thrive for really encouraging us and following up with us and really helping us apply for the grant in the first place. Like I think we probably split the application process with them 50/50 and if it wasn't for them we definitely wouldn't be here today. So um pretty and by here I mean the wellness committee and the the grant. So um huge shout out to them. That's amazing. I love it. [Applause] SP time. As a reminder, uh we will go through um all of the students and they can come up and get a picture and get a certificate and then we'll pause
036and um take a break and um folks can come up and get t-shirts um after we're done. So the first ASP award is for the high school and for 12th grade and that goes to Cameron Kennedy.

Motion passes. Um, any public participation? [Music] Trying hard to get some kids to fill out. Okay. Um, the Alexander Lane property. Yeah. So, this is uh down as a discussion item. There's um a request to just talk about this during the board meeting. I want to give you just some history. Hey Dan, you probably know much better than we do, but we did a little research and uh in 2012 um it was deemed to rent the Alexander property house and at that time our best guess is the intent was to rent it to uh people who work for the Bas. So
044if somebody was working for us and struggled with housing that would be it and that was the case in 2012. We um rented that out for $525 a month and um that price continues today. Um there was some questions about how much it costs the school district. Uh we pay taxes on that property, but the rent will more than covers the taxes. And we really we've replaced one electrical something, a box or something years ago. That's the only thing we've ever done for that property. So, we're not putting a lot of money into that property. And with that, I'll turn it over to you guys for a discussion about that. Do we currently have employees living there? We do not. Um, and so has there been discussion about how come we only still charge 500
045Carolyn and I have discussed it before as one of the things I picked up on last year when the district but go further than that. I would think that would be something if that's something you there are some rules in Oregon that I can go over about that but um truly I would love to pursue that. Anybody else? Yeah, I I mean it's I just can't even process it really. It's so low. What's the square footage? It's a twotory house. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's I will say it's not in great shape. I understand that and I and I sense your frustration. Um and I I'm just going to assume that you're frustrated just at the fact that it's that price. This has happened well before you guys, well before us. Yep. other thing is
046that and of course you know I haven't been in my position in a couple of years and so the current person had um is in the process of buying property and that was supposed to be um a couple of years ago that it was going to happen but they're having some issues with some easement and so it's taking longer. So, in my mind, I was kind of like, well, when that winter leaves, then we can reassess what we want to do with it. And what if that is not something that happens soon? And what if it still becomes an issue with them buying property? Yeah, I I just would like to consider it's [Music] just I'm sure there's no but I did look into that. So in Oregon you have you can only raise rent
047by 10%. Mhm. every calendar year and you have to give 3 months notice to do that. So if you were to direct to do that and we gave notice, so we'd be looking at the September payment of bumping that up only by 10%. Uh to do what director Holland talked about, it would actually take an eviction process and then we would re rent it at the market. I think right now I think it might What do you think? You know, I just really talked about a long long time. It's just it's kind of a past I talked about it as a liability because at some point it is not the house. I just want to know the rent some sort of maintenance so we can buy a new roof and the things for that building.
048Yeah. That we know it needs. And and if this person [Music] Yeah. or or real estate more than the house, that's what we talked about in the past. Yeah. That's a better that spot. The place is better used for a district office or many other things than a house. Yeah. So in the bigger picture of the district properties, the house just kind of been held on to it's real estate and we don't need a district office. And that's kind of a key location in all of the modulars, tear down the house, making it got old school district. Obviously, this is all Yeah. future thinking, but that's but that's what we got to do. Yeah. I I mean, they have a house and they have a big one. Yeah. So yeah. So yes, I agree with
049all start working it up. [Music] Yeah, the money is actually part of the capital project funds that we have and the only thing that gets spent out of it is any costs directly related to the house itself which currently has just been taxes. [Music] I don't think so. Just you all are nodding really hard at me so I I got it. We're not getting money or anything. We will take care of that tomorrow. Thank you for catching it. Honest that. Yeah. Okay, we're on to reports. Yeah, I just have a couple things. Um just a lot of gratitude to our district leaders um as we wind this year down. Incredible things happening. I think you've seen almost every board meeting. um one group or another showcasing what it is to be a glide student. And
050so just super proud of where we're at right now. I'm sure in your guys's worlds too, it's crazy, but as a building administrator who maybe has walking pneumonia, um it's just a crazy time of the year. So, uh, just really a shout out to not just our not just our leaders, our teachers or staff or people who show up every day to make sure kids have a great end of the year. One of you may have heard of our senior prank this year, which is very clever. I've never heard of that before. They actually camped in our parking lot tonight. So, that's awesome. I thought that was pretty pretty genius. I've never heard of that one before. So, either. Um, okay, a couple announcements. Um, we do have our field day and can I remember
051was that part of the report, our house field day? If not, can you can you tell us if you can just carve out a few minutes to come see that? It's It's pretty cool. um in and it's by house. They're all Yeah. Cool. So, it's uh K through sixth grade this year. They all participate as a house and then we have um older kids who are volunteering to help support the events. Last year, if you recall, we did a K1. Um, we're going to try it this year, which is having um a select few of the kids helping kids. Was great last year, but to make it better, we're going to try something. Nice. Uh, just found out today that our medals um groups competed in a I don't know if it's a district or
052a regional or medal contest and a beginner group won first place. And our advanced group got second. Uh Ben didn't tell me who we got second to, so I'm afraid it might be Southern because I know that's our our tribals. Super proud of Ben and uh his group for competing and representing Pride. I also sent you an email. I didn't follow it up with a text, so you may not have seen it, but I sent you an email about something that's really cool coming up. We have the Stray Cats Car Group is going to do a car show for our kids at the high school just to build some enthusiasm for vintage cars. And awesome. Uh when I saw that, I was like, it's it just seems like every week something new happens in Vibe
053that just doesn't happen in other school districts. And so I forwarded that to you. That's on June 3rd at noonish. They should go. Yeah. So that'd be kind of fun. So, want to give a shout out to the board. Just thank you for a great year. I really feel like um you know, the strategic plan guided um how this board wanted things to happen in the school district and I really see that happening. So, kudos to you guys for your leadership. Appreciate everything you do. you get paid a lot of money to do this, but uh you know, Tracy and Janet on the bargaining committee, that's a that's a huge time commitment and just really appreciate you being engaged in that. I'm going to work hard to uh continue to get John and Tim engaged
054in the facilities process, which is moving forward. It's just not moving forward as fast as I had hoped. As I look, sorry, this is a little off cut. It's not on my thing, but as I look at that, our bond doesn't mature until 27. So, we are still a little bit ahead. Okay. We are going to try to go out for I think we should go out for the bond. Um, and Tim and John will bring us to in May of 25. So, May of 26 next. So, that's our first. Cool. All right. Over to you. All right. Thank you. And I think I'm gonna turn it over to Carolyn. I just want to say I'm happy that we have a 2526 approved budget. Thank you for your guys' time and our budget committee. And
055then of course at our June um meeting we'll be doing the budget hearing to have it adopted. Um and then as far as the financials go, we are holding steady and I can attribute that to our leaders and everybody being careful with how we're spending our funds. That's all. And thank you for I would not want to be in in here she is right now trying to juggle the nonsense. It's kind of just a big mystery right now really about how things are really going to play out. So thank you for somebody who's got to do all the number stuff. So thank you. Okay. uh individual board members, anybody. Um so first just uh shout out I wanted to give um thanks to Jessica and the teacher. I hope the cards went out. Um but
056I just wanted to give a shout out working with the teachers and that school. I know as a parent how crazy it was. Um I love teachers today with the outdoor school and all of the activities and all of the things that are going on that just a lot of work. I was talking to teacher at the baseball game and it's like I'm looking forward to like just took a little bit of break and so I just really appreciate that and you're welcome. Um, also big shout out uh again for the baseball and the playoffs as well as track the growth of just and also just recognizing that middle school and development that's just amazing to watch. Um also then I just introducing at that baseball game and actually that is something like that. It
057was kind of kind of a moment there. Yeah. So just love to just throw that out there. Um, and also I just really from my heart I want to thank all of you. Um, and I was also saying thank you for the folks that voted. I just think that this is I mean to be as I know it's challenging but other people are committees and boards and all the volunteers this is just very thank you. Um, so I just wanted to say I really love the the wellness committee and things that are going on there. I think that self-care for our staff is super important to boost morale and to um make sure that know avoid burnout, all those good things. So, um, I love that. I love that we got that grant and kudos
058to y'all for making a committee and very creative ideas to engage everybody. I thought that was pretty cool. Um, and I think in June I'll have more probably to say about the um what's going on in the legislative session that's currently happening and some of the um bills that are unfortunately uh looking like they're going to pass um that are going to potentially impact our budget. So, um or all the other nonsense that's playing out with the big beautiful bill and whatnot. So, um on that note, I think we're we'll call it a wrap. So, meeting. Thank you. Thank you, you two. Oh, absolutely. Let's uh bang us back in. Nice. Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you for sharing that with us. That makes me get all choked up. All right, so any last I think
