There were 2,977 flags placed in the ground as a tribute for all the lives lost on September 11th. And then there was a ceremony held during the first period. We had a class of 1975 tour. They took a walk down memory lane of our high school and they
003were also honored at our football game two weeks ago. And then meet the teacher night and financial aid night were held last Thursday and it was a great opportunity for families to connect with their teachers and get tips on financial aid, college costs, scholarships, and fees.

They did a short little routine and helped the steckle students kick off their year. Our marching band competed at Northampton on Saturday, September 13th, and they also just got a new trailer that was in dedication of Bobby Warman. for our student council.

She was approved tonight as for the library board of trustees. So, I just wanted to introduce her and uh make sure that the board knew that she was here tonight. So, thank you for coming. Um so, some things going on in the schools. I think you got a very thorough report from Maya Williams on things going on in the high school. I know additionally clubs and activities
014are are really in in full boore and underway and our fall sports are underway and really doing finding a lot of great success early on this year. It's been great and there's been a lot of preparation for the upcoming homecoming celebrations uh next month. So that's that's really great. At the middle school, there's been some grade level assemblies to clearly explain all expectations for academics and behavior, and there's been highlighting of the September profile of a Zephr trait, which is responsibility. Um, I know the middle school is excited to have announced the cast for their musical, High School Musical Junior, and they look forward to seeing that show in November. That's awesome. Uh, Zephyr, I got a really nice report. Uh, get ready to sing guests and read Zephr community. On Friday, on Friday, excuse
015me, September 19th, Zephr students and staff kicked off the love of literature time with a fun musical twist inspired by the masked singer. Um, our very own Zephr staff members performed songs that highlighted the profile of Zephyr traits in the high school auditorium. During the show, students analyzed the lyrics, then guested the singer, and identified the Zephr trait while having an absolute blast. Um, Love of Literature Time will be held on Mondays, and Fridays at 3:05 until dismissal with engaging readalouds. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, students will dive into their own books. This special kickoff event was designed to get everyone excited for a year of reading and reinforce our Zephr traits. Um, let's just say this show was a success. I know there's always awesome things going in in all of our buildings, but
016I was fortunate enough to be at that assembly um and and sat there in the in the high school auditorium and watched the whole thing. It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. Mr. Dillard and Mr. Johnson had tuxedos on. Uh to see the staff how engaged they were and excited was it made me feel extremely proud. The kids went bonkers. I mean, it it it was awesome. And and when you think about what they were doing, how they were talking about where literature can be found and what it means and then breaking that back to this the the traits, outstanding. So, Mr. Dillard, great job. Your staff was that was really awesome. But I don't want to slight anybody else because I know there's great things happening constantly in all of our buildings. I just happen to
017be at that event. Um STEL fall picture day book fair meet the teacher on 911. Uh there was a great turnout. Thank you to the PTO plus for assisting with the bookf fair and managing the tables. Students are learning the SEC steele star traits and profile of Zephyr skill connections. This month they're focusing on being safe and responsible. They've extended their learning to the bus and other areas outside of the classroom to apply these skills. Uh kicked off their steel stars behavioral expectations with a pep rally on September 15th at the high school. And at Gawkley, cool thing happening there. of the morning announcements have really been a positive start to the day. Uh each week another teacher makes the takes the mic and gives information about the day but also reinforces their schoolwide positive
018behavior I can train expectations. The announcements also serve as a way to connect our schoolwide expectations with our profile of a Zephyr character trait that we highlight each month. So, um, they they've got their, uh, grade level kickoff assemblies and spirit week to help students and staff find fun with all their building expectations. You hear a lot about profile of the Zephyr. There's been a lot of effort in this district over the past couple years to bring that to fruition and our buildings are really following through on that. So over time, that is our goal to make sure that kids are building and understanding what those character traits are from kindergarten right on through graduation and that we're really um preparing our kids to go out into the world with all those profile traits. So
019awesome, awesome stuff. One more comment that I wanted to make um just revolves involves, excuse me, some some recent things that have gone on with relation to darktown and Water Street in our district. Um, I did want to make sure that when things come to us, board agenda items, topics, photos, so on and so forth, they they're not dictated by members of the public, our agendas. So, I did want to make sure that people understand that, but they need they need to understand as well publicly some things that are going on with that area. I did speak with Mayor Marks last week and as of today, I was told that Water Street would be closed and that would be official as of tomorrow. Uh, there is some sort of barrier and gate installed down at
020the end of Water Street. There is lighting that is to be installed and the township has said they will maintain passage to that bus stop at Everheart and Water Street. Our families were notified by our transportation department of the updates. Parents will have the option of being picked up at Everheart and Water or when weather is permitting because we do know when there is heavy rains that area is prone to flooding or second in Lehi. We will be able to pick up kids at both locations. For the record, the school district never said to anyone that we would not provide a van to that area. What was accurately stated was we don't have a van or a driver given the scope of how many kids and the distance that we travel and pick up kids
021and and put them in schools all over this this area. Uh so it wasn't something that we didn't want to do. It was something that we were not able to do. And buses due to weight restrictions are not permitted in that area. Um, we did offer an alternative bus stop some time ago and we did explain to township officials uh the situation with our transportation, but at this point we've worked together collaboratively to try and come up with safe solutions for those students affected by that area. We don't control the roadways. We don't control where where uh families wish to live. That's that's their prerogative and we'll do our very best to transport them safely. And that's all I have for you tonight. >> Thank you, Mr. Schiffer. Uh upcoming meeting dates, Monday, October 13th
022at 4 o'clock for our committee meetings and Monday, October 27th at 7 p.m. for a regular board meeting. Takes us to other matters, information, items, and any comments from the board. >> Yes. Um it's >> Mr. Salom. >> No shave for Mr. Officer Chrisman and Officer Carter. They're going to keep that cute GQ look. So it's no shave November. So Seth and I are going to keep our beards for their guys until December for No Shave November. So we'll keep it long for you >> and keep that baby face. >> Wonderful. Um any other matters? Okay. Looking for a motion to adjurnn. >> So move >> Mr. Salom. Who second? Do we have a second? >> Second. Seth, drive safe. Have a nice evening. Thanks for coming. Okay. Thank you very much. Hey.
