I'm not going anywhere but just time for a little change. Um it was a difficult decision for me personally because I've really enjoyed my time working so closely with all of you. Um we had different roles. We didn't always agree, but we found a way to work as a team and move towards our common goals, excellence in education, and doing what's best for staff, students, and the whole community.

010I also want to thank um Nicole on behalf of the administration and all the principles and Dave servant Dr. Nicole and the rest of the cabinet members um who have had a lot of dealings with you and your role as the PDA president.

Um we've always been able to agree to disagree on items but move forward and make progress uh which has been important to us. A lot of collaboration. Um I think hopefully that has helped uh engender good staff morale. Um I hear from some of my colleagues in other districts that some of the teacher leaders are good at being leaders and they're not really good teachers. Um, it we've been very fortunate in Pedelco that I've had great teachers
011who have also served in leadership role. I see Sherry's in there. When Sherry uh was the president, same thing. Fantastic teacher. When Danielle Clark was the president, fantastic teacher yourselves as well.

012uh, the students uh, were terrific. And then um over the last month I I besides some the music department being award-winning this year. Uh I personally experienced two things related to the program. Uh Miss Frius and my son's group Steel Pan Ensemble kicked off the summer concert series at the uh ASI Community Center and it was a great event and I think it's going to be something that they going to try and build on each year and add to. Um and I could tell it's an exciting thing because I've been reached out to a couple of the different music uh program directors directly. Uh, and I also want to give a shout out to Mr. Ratchkco who is uh new to Aston Elementary. He is helping uh Mr. Zedley's son Grayson learn the saxophone. And
013we had Grayson out to sing a n uh to perform the national anthem at our um 10u district championships at Weird Park and Mr. Rasco came out to support him and it was a pretty pretty good rendition of it. So it's on you YouTube if you want to check it out. Thank you. And John, you got good feedback on the steel drum being out there. Is that like would be an annual event you think would be appreciated by I think my my son said he was awesome. He had a good time. Mysterious did a great job. Yeah.
