I also want to thank uh um Julie Julie Bowser uh for for specifically helping me through the school year and I I I wish her uh well in her new uh experience. Thank you. >> 81 students graduated

I just like to also I don't want to overm miss anybody but uh Mr. Henderson as you know our technology director does an immensely lot of work uh and also what that graduate is the sound okay uh and how early that has to do and put all those wires together and make sure everything connect but he also deserves credit for uh absolutely uh for just just everything that he does in uh throughout this school district. >> Thank you. Well, it took it took a village to get that already and they did a great job, I heard. >> I I'm just sorry I wasn't able to make it. >> Uh, Mr. President, I'd like
008to also add it it it took us a a lot longer last night because um our our senior class accumulated almost 2.9 million in scholarship and grants. And so, >> and I did hear that and I know um >> it is unheard of. >> Uh it's setting our precedent even higher. So, um, you know, >> raising the bar >> to that to that class. It's they were wonderful kids, wonderful parents, and, uh, I'm greatly going to be missing those kids. So, >> that's my report. >> Thank you.

And I heard there were, I believe, seven students, >> Correct. >> Who are in
009the military? >> Yes. >> That's awesome. >> Mhm. That's absolutely awesome. So, okay. Thank you. >> Welcome. >> Uh reports, comprehensive plan, special education plan, title one, two, and four. >> Those those reports were submitted. >> Thank you. Public participation is now open. Dr. Downey uh school um consultant for instrumental and coral music throughout the district I'm going to make this extremely fast as I in here hit the timer. No, I'm kidding. Anyway, uh I just going to give you a couple highlights of the year. Some of you may not have this in your packet. Just realize that now because I had originally printed 14 and I had some extras, but the the first sheet was not included. And this is on the first sheet. Hopefully, you'll have it. If not, I can certainly submit
010it to you. But um we started with six students approximately three and a half years ago. We are now flourishing in the arts. Next year over 50 members over 50. I think it's 52. In fact, Nick, I don't know what Jason said. Is it 52 or 54? >> I think. Yeah, I do too. Okay. Uh for next year in the high school band program, that's unheard of for years. I mean, it's a miracle. Okay. >> Now, doctor, >> yes. >> It when you say 50, is that 50 for the high school? >> Just for the high school. >> Oh, yeah. Players. Okay. This is this is flourishing. Academically, you can check with the parents. We're getting all the reports all and we get them through our our own little board that we have. Okay. Academically,
011I was actually going to submit uh whatever I could, but they never wrote in. Uh all band students are achieving academic success and reaching higher levels each year as noted by band parents and teachers as they are involved in our music program which again is based on academics and self-discipline and you know that you you see have seen your results. Grade school performed four major concerts plus perform this is this year only for a community holiday performance at the Bristol Mil Street Warf. The choir performed two major concerts, spring and winter. The high school band performed four major concerts. Um, and the uh grade school band um performed at least Did I say that? Yeah, they yeah, they they performed four major as well plus the community stuff. As of next year, believe it or
012not, I was asked to do this. Uh, at first I was reluctant to because people don't understand a program that we're doing which is academically designed as Princeton and everyone's calling for the marching band. Absolutely not. We're going to do community stuff and we're going to do it big time with the big band. So, I'm working it out that this holiday you will have the band for the first time in many many years play your holiday parade and I'm working it out in a I'm working it out with the people involved. Okay. So, uh, you're going to be very proud of this because we haven't had this in years. Okay. >> I'm glad you said that because I I did get contacted by individuals asking if we could have a band in the parade. >>
013We're going to you're saying it's not going to be a marching band? >> No. Whether we're on a float or whatever, it's going to be designed the way we play. I mean, we're not a marching band. We're >> Are you going to go try to create a marching band anytime? Because No, because look at look at look what's happening. Look how we flourished. I'm basing this on what my brother and I have said at Princeton and my own reputation. This is all about academics. It's classical and jazz. That's why these kids are flourishing now. And it's also I can prove it and give you all the data you want through any university or any study what it's doing with them with their academics, whether it's math or science. That's why I'm going that route. We're
014not What we're doing is replacing that community band with a very large concert band. It doesn't matter what they're dressed in or how they look as long as we are providing that type of service to the community, which we will do. So, when is the last time anybody participated in that in that parade? I can't remember. I'll tell you right now. I think I know when. 2016, maybe for a very short while. That was the only year that it surfaced a little bit and that it died down again. And it's and you were on a roller coaster since since Mr. Bachmann, you know that. Okay. and you've seen the results here today. We have a solid music program and I don't want to tamper with it. So again, we will do that parade and you
015will be proud of us how we're doing it. You got to trust me. You've trusted me so far. Just just keep with me. I will not let you down. Okay. Anyway, uh we also performed at the uh uh Hershey. They had a jazz festival at Hershey. We scored very high at at that festival and that's that's really a credit to what we're doing. It's our first one. We we haven't even got our feet wet and we're going as a high school band. Do you know what our high school could when we say high school band? You know what those students are? Seventh and eighth grade. Now, I had the teachers go to Princeton. They spent a whole day at Princeton on Monday. They saw the complete what's which which is like an art school. You
016know, academically it's math and music in Princeton. Okay. They're they're they're the biggies. So, the bottom line is when they looked at that, Jason Molden, who's our uh uh excellent band director, he said, "Joe," he said, "I think our kids can do what their middle band was doing, which is ninth and 10th. We're seventh and eighth." He said, "I think we could sight read that." And I go, "Now you understand what we're doing." Okay? And and this is the way we're going. So each year, I'm guaranteeing you you have How many people were at a concert? Just raise your hand. I don't want to put our people on the spot. Am I saying this? Was that something to be said? Okay. If you thought that was good, you're going to go back next year. I'm
017promising you this and you're going to say, "God, that sounded like a great school band because that's what's coming this year. I'm guaranteeing it." Okay. So, uh, let me move on because I don't I want to take a lot of time, but you've seen the results and I know you trust me. You've backed me and I and I and I'm eternally grateful for all that you're doing. Every single one of you. Without your backing, I wouldn't be able to to to see this dream come alive. Okay. Um and and it is coming alive. We also will be uh incorporating the uh the choir in the um oh yeah we now have the installation okay I wrote it down here of the choir music at the high school. This subject area will present an opportunity for
018many high school students including and especially theater arts because you know that's that's another upand cominging thing and I've always said this before coral and theater arts go where do these kids go when they want to go to college they got to sing they got to they got to perform they got to do everything so we are now having coral music back in high school after not having it for I don't know how many years you know it better than I okay uh and that gives them a pro a good opportunity to for perform coral literature and an opportunity as an elected that fits their needs for their scholastic interests and we haven't had that in years. Okay, because that's it's it's a forgotten bunch not not on purpose but I guess by budget and
019all the things that happened over the years and the type of program we have the type that we are doing now that's why all of this is flourishing. So please uh continue your support because I need it honestly. Uh, I'm I'm going to end this here. I want to thank everybody. I want to especially wish everyone here luck. Dr. uh Broad Brous Davis and and Jennifer, I wish you luck on your retirement. Our two principles from here who are who are lovely people, I wish them the very very best. I really do with their their new jobs. I also uh want to wish our new people here, which is our new principal and our new secretary, their very best because you are in a you're in a great place. you really are, you know, and
020uh my whole thing is about producing and and if we all produce, we could have a prep school here, you know, Bristol High Prep without a doubt. There's there's no reason not to believe that. Kids are the same. I've taught all over Lower Marian. I I I taught Scholastically, very high, extremely high. I had I had the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra. Princeton, extremely high. Willingboro. Okay. When I was at Willingboro, we were we were we were the contender besides Princeton for for jazz in a complete state of New Jersey. Okay. So, the bottom line is I learned this a long time ago and I taught Catholic school, you know, Notre Dame. Okay. Bottom line is I learned you have two guys from Telly Town, two twin brothers. Okay? One who's noted all over the world through
021uh the movies and everything else. Okay? Why did Princeton pick these two guys to you? You understand what I'm saying? To create a whole legend that is exists now. And because and where do we come from? My father was from Bristol. I was from Ty Town. And I learned this a long time ago. It's not about It's not about where you come from. All these kids have the same potential, the same opportunity, the same brain as anybody. I don't care how affluent your society is. It doesn't mean a thing to me. You know what means a thing to me? Academics. If you can train these kids K through 12 as I'm training them in music, okay, with critical thinking, you will have a prep school here in maybe not in name, but certainly in in
022operation, there's no doubt in my mind. And as long as you let me continue this dream and as long as we have success, I I I appreciate that. And I want to see it come come alive, not only in my subject, but in every subject in in the school system because I know it's here. All right. This is where I came from. these communities right here and I'm thankful for it because we have a lot that other people need to learn from too, don't we? Okay, God bless all of you. You have >> Thank you very much. Beautiful day. >> Anyone else? >> Good evening. My name is Amy Daly. For those of you don't um don't know me, I'm a Burough resident for about six years now. I've been serving as the school nurse
023at the high school for almost five. Um but tonight I'm here to share some information with you about an upcoming event, National Night Out. Um as I'm a member of the planning committee. So National Night Out is a community building campaign that strengthens police community partnerships and builds neighborhood camaraderie. This event is held annually the first Tuesday in August. This will be our fifth year celebrating National Night Out and um each year the event has grown in participation and impact. The goal of this this event is simple. It's to make our neighborhoods safer and more connected. And together, we are making that happen. On August 4th, Bristol Burough will join over 38 million neighbors across 16,000 communities from the United States, its its territory um and military bases worldwide. Mhm. >> The Bristol Cares Coalition
024in partnership with Bristol Burough Police Department is hosting the event here at Snyder Gerardi on Tuesday, August 4th from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. This location gives us a central familyfriendly space where our community can gather and connect in a way that families that were familiar with this space. To make this year's event a success, we're inviting the community to support in several ways. Local organizations, small businesses, and community partners are welcome to be vendors. For an example, Carrie and I, the school nurse at the elementary school, last year hosted a table as a vendor. Um, and it was meet your school nurses. So, we shared information. Um, we helped parents find the the portal, collected immunizations, talked to them about chronic diseases and how we can manage them at school. So, it doesn't have to
025be a traditional business for any of the community that's listening. It could be a service or organization or um group that you're a part of. We're also looking for volunteers um to help with setup and some of the programs and different things that are going on, the games, um crafts and stuff. Um last year we also had a handful of uh high school students that use that as part of their service hours. Um and we helped coordinate that there for that event. And also um financial contributions are welcome because they help keep the event at a higher quality and um free. So, we will also be collecting um school supplies for our Bristol Burough students. Um this drive helps to ensure that every child starts the year prepared and confident. It's kind of one of
026the most appreciated parts of the event. So, residents can expect to have a fun family-friendly evening um with activities for all ages, resource tables about organizations in the area, um as well as opportunities to meet with neighbors and some meaningful interactions with our officers and community partners. So, this is a chance to strengthen Bristol um celebrate the pride of Bristolboro and strengthen our relationships and build trust. So, as we enter our fifth year, what I'm asking you the board and our community is just to encourage um everyone and spread the word about it um just to help make us another success. So, um just in wrapping up, I just I would like to um be able to send the digital flyer to everyone so that maybe you could promote on your social media sites. Um,
027and last I just wanted to say if anyone is interested in volunteering, certainly you can reach out to me through my email um, through the school district um, or to Bristol Cares Coalition atgmail.com um, which is also on the flyer I'll be sending you. So, thank you for your time and look forward to seeing you on August the 4th. Thank you. >> A real quick question. >> It's August 4th. What time did you say that was? >> 5:30 to 8. >> Okay. 5 to 8. >> Yeah. What time would you need volunteers? So volunteers generally about an hour before um but we do kind of post that information. Um I have it posted on the Google share uh service learning calendar right now um for in school but we'll have more updated information once we
028know um the amount of vendors that are going to be there, what kinds of activities. So we kind of just kind of are getting ramping up the planning now. >> Absolutely. And I do want to just share too is it's a great way for our students to interact with police, EMTs, um firefighters. They play like different games with them. It It's extremely interactive. They're they're on the vehicles. They're hitting the sirens. Um it's just like you said, a beautiful way to continue to build our our community um and the relationships. >> Thank you for doing that. >> Yeah, it's a really fun night and we have a good group for the planning committee. So hopefully it'll turn out to be just successful. >> Thank you. Thank you, >> Miss Daily. Real quick, um we could
029we could add this to our uh service learning web page also. Yes, with Miss Senna. >> Yep. >> Um and also to the school board.

And I'd like to thank Nick and Pops and all the school board members that were there. Everything was just perfect. We even had perfect weather which was really nice to see. So, I just wanted to I'm going to miss all those families. seeing them all the time at the sports and things like that, but it was just a great testament to our community here. >> Thank you. >> I agree. >> Um, so I do want to just uh touch on one point that I imagine Chick will too. Um, the level I the 2.88 million what is amazing, but what really strikes
046me is I think it was 99,000 came from the the local community grants. >> Um, I sit on two of the boards. um for the Celtic Heritage Foundation and for the Lewis Doson Memorial Fund. Um it's our community that comes out for the events that that buys the t-shirts, that buys the chocolate, that puts in for the raffle baskets. Um it and you're going to see this when you start working here. The community, if there's a need, you let us know. You let the community know and they step up and they really stepped up for our students. And I'm really proud of our community last night and of course our graduating students. >> They always do.

048to get me emotional. other than just saying >> I'll just say something to make you angry. So >> Oh, that's easy. Okay. But have been uh great 12 years as your superintendent superintendent of schools, which is unheard of a number of years over the years. But Bristol is my hometown. Born and raised here. I believe that everybody and we can we can always agree to disagree, but when it comes down to our kids, we come together to do what we need to do. And uh to the new principal forthcoming, you're going to see that you already seen it tonight. And we don't have any kids in the building. Okay? So, um coming to a good community, a good school district, okay? uh just be uh available, open and honest, and you will have a tremendous
049support from the board of education as well as your your staff. >> I wish you well. Thank you. SURE. >> WELL, YEAH. Thank you. That's a hard act to follow, but uh I've been a U school solicister for if you combine my years for over 40 years in all the districts I've been working. I guess that's hard to believe, is it? You add them all together. Um, and it's been a good run a lot of places, but I really really enjoyed it here both certainly with the board and the community. But I want to thank Mr. Heatherington, Mr. Nastasi, Mr. McHugh for for the their cooperation making my job easier, but especially for the two people that we've talked about tonight who are retiring. Miss Moyer and Dr. Davis, um, uh, special people uh, and
050they really helped me in my role, not just from a legal perspective, but from a practical perspective. uh helping me learn about the burrow, the folks here, and just really um it's it's been a partnership and uh uh I certainly wish both of you really well on your well-deserved retirements, but uh uh I'll miss you both. Uh it was it's been a uh a great great relationship that I've had with you and I really appreciate that. So, thank you. >> You uh just a couple things. Uh, Jen, love you and you've done a great job. Dr. Davis, you're like a bad penny. I know you're going to show up somewhere, but you ain't going nowhere. But anyway, >> what what I did want to mention was that uh last night, Mr. Thank you, Mr. Stacy,
051for helping me. But so last night of that $2.9 million that our kids received, right? >> These are the colleges that our kids are going to. Holy Family, five kids with basically full scholarships. Miser Accordia full scholarship. Two kids going to Cutdown. Uh two kids going to Gwyn and Mercy. Two kids going to Lasal University.

Uh uh Brilan is going to Delaware Valley College, Widner University, Thomas Jefferson University, Alveria, Penn State, East Straburg, Temple, Mercer County, and uh two of the of the best technical schools there are is Stadia Stevens School in Pennsylvania and Lincoln Tech. And but and I looked and I said, "Wow, wait
052a minute though. every other year there was always Bucks County Community College, Bucks County Community College. And in those kids that are going to them, many of them, thanks to Mr. Nasy who many years ago started pushing kids to to get those advanced placement courses and get them college credits. And almost every one of these kids that is going to a four-year college because when they were seniors they were taking advanced placement at the community college. Dr. Davis I know you're on the board >> and Mr. True Love I know your wife is on the board and >> that's something that you know if you looked at that you would think wowen but underneath underneath all those is the Bucks County Community College. So, I want to thank thank them as well. And again, great
053night. We have two of the best uh Grace Bole and Alexis Stewart. Two of the most mature, most kids ready to take on the world for our valadictorian, our saludiatoran. And overall, just a class. I I think Mr. Ne said it best. Where can you go? You know, tonight they canled uh a couple big districts. They had 800 kids and 700 kids walking, but last night we had 82 >> with their families to be able to spend that two hours with them. It's a special thing.

I'd like to thank and congratulate the everyone that helped the graduation Nick and you and your team out each year is outstanding and the for the
05480 plus kids that graduated. I don't know if it was 81 or 81. Congratulations to each and every one of them because they're now moving on to their next chapter.
