Um, first of all, I want to say thank first of all, I'd like to say thank you to our board. We made it through the year. Um, this is our final board meeting for the year and um, and I'm very impressed with how all five of you I know Don's not work here tonight, but how all five of you work together and communicate. I'd also like to um, say thank you to Wadin Wedin for uh, her service to our students and um, and I I felt she did an excellent job. So, it was somewhat of a shock to hear she was
010retiring, but we also understand it, too. So, thank you to Wadey. Thank you, Mr. Puit. Uh, board reports, Mrs. Shrudy. First of all, I want to say thank you to all of you guys for being so patient with us. We're we're learning. We're catching on to what needs to be done. But, um, like Mr. recruit said, um, we've we've really worked well together and I think we we have a good communication amongst all of us and we really really try to be as involved as we could to to see what's going on and to see what what needs to be done. Um, May was pretty busy. Um, I think we tried to be wherever we could during the busy hectic days um between graduation and ceremonies and awards and all that good stuff. But um
011we made it and it was um it was awesome to see all these students and and you guys, you know, leading these students to um to get where they needed to be. So, it was um it was very nice and um and TUSCa was amazing just to see how much of the um awesome donors out there to give these uh students the opportunity to move forward. So, um other than that, I mean, we're ready for next year and we're excited to see what else we could do and where else we could help. And I mean, we're we're happy So, thank you. Thank you, Mrs. Gonzalez. Congratulations. We made it to the end of the school year. Happy summer. Pretty soon, right? I think the first day of summer is like the 20th or the 21st,
012something like that. But yes, I second what Marbel said. Thank you everyone for your patience and um helping us grow and learn more about the district. And I really did make an effort like like Marbel said to be everywhere. Um, it was busy. It was busy in May. I'm a mom of three, too. You know, aside from this, I work full-time. Um, but I really tried to organize my calendar to be everywhere and as uh approachable and available as possible. If you ever have a question, too. like I'm I'm happy to converse with anybody. Um and I hope that's been clear as well. Mr. Puit has been good at um just handling I pro I probably have outside of here like a hundred questions for him all the time and um and I always remind
013him you know my questions are not because I I'm you know not trusting you. I'm just trying to understand where there's gaps or where I identify maybe we can grow or or communicate better. Um, but I do appreciate all of you and uh all of the hard work that you put into all, you know, all of the students in our district. It's been a pleasure to watch and grow and I look forward to continuing to be here on the board. So, Thank you, Mr. Walk. Yeah. So, in May, we went uh to the three graduations and we had, you know, a great time seeing students and get to see their achievements and achievements of their teachers and of all the staff. Uh, so that was really uh great. Um, and then I wanted to shout
014out the food service program that's putting on uh summer lunches. Um, my wife's been able to take our 2-year-old uh uh to go get lunch every day and she loves to drink her chocolate milk now. So, yeah. Thank you. Back to Mr. Walk. The graduations were great. not being the negative one of the group, but I wish I think I said it to you like somebody said, "Hey, you got three minutes." I don't think it should be rushed. One time a year they graduate. I think it should be longer than three minutes. That's just my opinion because they're just there one time. So, maybe something for the future. Um, summer's here. I'm glad you guys all made it. I'm sorry, Mrs. Keas, but you know, your next four weekends are busy with baseball. I apologize.
015before you know it's going to school's going to be here. Um, but again, I appreciate you guys for what you guys do for the students, not just my own son, but for everyone. Your guys's job does not go unnoticed and I truly mean that. And Mr. Puit, appreciate you leading us and the district and everything. This Fox 2, everybody, Mr. S, D, I appreciate it. I I just wanted to announce something. And uh this Saturday was the Lions All-Star Merced County All-Star Football Classic and one of our ORSA High School graduates, Dillian McCaulay, was named the North Team Player of the game. He caught two TDs during the game. So just wanted to announce that and he him along with Nicholas Quueas will be playing in the upcoming game. The Lions Allstar game in Trey
016seasons. So that's good. I don't know how many kids were. Do you know how many? So, I know Dylan played, I believe Nicholas played, and then Valenuela was a starting quarterback for them. There may have been another player, but those are the three I remember. Thank you for that. Thank you. But thank you guys. I appreciate it. And Mr. Anything else? See you guys August 2nd. Yeah, that's the back to school. Back to school. All right. You going to stay longer? 6:15. And thank you to Nancy. Yeah. For keeping us organized. Yeah. I always tell her I need an assistant, but you do a good job. Thank you. Thank you guys.
