It's really nice to see the whole board together. This is really nice and thank you everyone for staying. Um a couple of announcements. We do have several events coming up. I do you guys have the invitation for a couple of events that are coming up. The

002first one is the coffee with the envos with the superintendent that's coming up on Thursday. starts at 10 a.m. Um the first one will be hosted here in our boardroom. Um and then following next month's we'll be hosting them at the schools. You guys are cordially invited. Um the setup is very simple, right? So we offer information about our district to the parents who are attending and then we open up the forum for any questions that they may have. If we don't have the answer, the idea is that we search for the answer and we provide it once we have it. Um, one thing that we're going to be doing differently this year, and I've been working with Antonio, is that we're going to be live streaming also the coffee with the superintendent with the

003possibility of um, parents also asking questions via online. So, that'll be another layer that we're adding to ensure that we are having that open communication with their parents. So, that'll be this Thursday. Um, our next one is the Summerton Thriving Achievers, which is one of our babies, uh, a student celebration that we started last year. I know our schools do an amazing job celebrating our students on a daily basis, on a monthly basis, on a weekly basis. So, we just wanted to add another one and this is at the district level. Um, the first one will be hosted at ELC. Uh, it'll start at 9:00 a.m. So, you guys are cordially invited to that. It is so much fun, right? Principles, everyone, it's so much fun. um you you you leave that ceremony rejuvenated with

004just the energy that you live um by seeing these kids being recognized. So um I invite you to u attend if you can attend the first one. You have many other months that you can definitely try to make to one and aside from that you have a delicious breakfast does a really good job in setting us up with really good food. Please come. All right. So that's going to be a good one. And um another thing that is it's important to recognize it's not only a district level recognition. It's a community level recognition. We've invited other students from other organizations to attend. We have students from the Cocoa Preschool, Chosa, Wakeog, Peptea Summerton campus. So they always come and join us and and they're always very grateful for the opportunity to be part of this.
