008Shay come on down come on down so Shea is in second grade all right third grade third grade sorry third grade she um and this is like the this um certificate here I'm just going to read it because it's it's maybe the like the longest certificate we ever uh we ever created but that's because of how much you won okay so Shea Hurley for winning the 2023 New Jersey that's like Statewide conservation one Water poster contest in Burlington County she was the Grand Champion so that's a contest that was grades two all the way all the way through 12 like seniors in high school okay which will be someday but you already won this in third grade okay and she was first place as well of course in order to be grand champion you're also
009going to be first place in the grades two to three bracket too so it was really two Awards in one and um we're going to get the the poster up here in a second because you have to see it um but in the meantime do you want to you want to tell everybody a little bit about it or um it was a one water themed and it tried to spread awareness through New Jersey about water conservation beautiful right it's awesome there it is right there [Applause] [Music] there's um all different ways on how to say water around the border and there's ground water um precipitation evaporation condensation and there was just like this little um message um that just is sprinkled everyone the poster don't taught her save the water and it shows that we
010all use the same water it could be wasted or could be needed or anything it's just beautiful um I don't know if you can see but she wrote the word for water in different languages all the way around the border of the poster um and uh it makes me think I almost think you know when we go around town and we see those little turtle signs that are on like uh the gutters in the streets you know just reminding people that like the water in our neighborhoods eventually goes to the ocean and it's going to be in Wildlife I think uh we should put a second one of your poster right next to those because uh the turtle is great and your poster encompasses just the totality of everything as you said precipitation and and

015no place for hate teams if they can come down I have to see Mr hoppin Ms Greene Miss Miss Mason Miss Robbins is there um so um no place for hate is a recognition that schools have to earn it's very rigorous to do this it's a national recognition through the Anti-Defamation League and this is a historic year because both our middle schools earned it and these are the first schools in etsd to earn this recognition again a national recognition um we we have Middle School Banner here I'm so glad you brought it because I was feeling bad we had the demising one already up there and I was thinking oh we can only be in one place at a time and nobody would know nobody would have seen the Middle School in but always thinking
016so uh it's fantastic to have that and um I'm going to turn it over to Mr Hoffman just to share a little bit more about the process thank you Dr Smith so what began a journey about a year ago with the support of the Board of Education leadership of Dr Smith leadership and guidance of Miss mcgullick really kind of worked through over the course of this year about 1800 students and staff at both middle schools it was a really great opportunity to engage in activities that were approved by no place for hate to walk in partnership with them appreciated so much the support of our counselors Heather Robbins Laura Mason Matt Robinson at the Macy and and Beth Michael Isaac at the Macy and Miss green as well so we'll talk a little bit about
017it and I'll turn it over to principal green okay uh you know being here starting in February it was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn more about the program uh and really the commitment as Mr Hoffman talked about the students all pledge to really commit to um making sure that bias and bullying is not taking place and really accepting each other seeing what we can do together as a collective unit to be able to support everyone and to make sure that everyone's voices are heard and also respected as well so it's wonderful to see the students Embrace no place for hate is throughout this building and throughout the middle school also at Marlton middle school and the C students really being proactive to see what they can do to make our school better not
018only our school but our society and our world together as well and we're also going to have some information that's being shared from the counselors as well so just to give you an idea we do different activities every month or so in the school we thought we'd share one of those activities with you so one of our most recent activities we went through a whole bunch of different video clips short video clips online and we found one that we really felt the students could relate to so this particular clip happens in a Burger King and they had child actors in there and they had these actors purposely bullying each other at the same time they also had the staff bullying their burgers so they were punching the burgers calling them names and the point of
019this was to see are more people going to stand up and say something about their burger or the students that are actually being bullied in the middle of Burger King so we go through this whole video there's you're laughing you're feeling sad you go through all these emotions and then you find out at the end that 95 of people said something about the burger but only about 12 percent intervened about the students so it kind of just it was a good conversation starter and then we did some activities from there after that the students had a moment to reflect and kind of talk amongst themselves and then they actually did a project with it um they were able to write their Reflections they were able to make a comic strip or they were able to
020draw you know just their feelings and what they saw about the pro uh the videos and then they kind of just shared it with the class and I know the feedback from the teachers they really liked it and the kids really liked the video they liked that it was a subject that really pertained to them in middle school was something that was real life lessons for them thank you I'll just call each of you over to get your certificate Miss green you want to come over [Applause] is Laura Mason and Miss Heather Robbins [Applause] and Mr Hoffman he you guys should get a second there just say we leave him out so uh thank you again very very much we look forward to uh doing this trying to earn our maintain that recognition each year
021and um just that story about the birking uh video is is so uh emblematic I think of the work that our counselors do to come up with like to meet kids where they are and come up with ways that are relatable to them and their experience and uh so I really appreciate that example first so the window for everybody yeah thank you [Applause] um it's a lot of stuff all right we're going to move on um this next award um is for our social behavioral support program and I'm looking at Dr Bland over there do you want to talk about you want to come on up while we're doing this and uh I would uh the um and the mes staff who are here if you can call come on down and and [Applause] so
022so I'm actually going to let you uh read the names when we get to that just leave a heart so um it's always fun to see people that you see like we see we experience each other like at MES but like here we are seeing each other and amazing it's like it's like wait where there should be like a fin whale behind you somehow uh the mes greatest mascot ever right um but I guess the closest relative to that among our mascots would be Dolphins so it's appropriate that we're here so um and I'm going to read the certificate just people understand a little bit um it says congratulations on achieving the 2023 New Jersey School Board Association Innovations in special education award Innovations in special education award for New Jersey from Alton Elementary School's
023social behavioral support SBS program that's just amazing out of the whole state to win this award and I'm going to turn it over to Dr Ben Miss bulls for some more words sure I think I was the principal at MES for three days when the application for this award came across my desk but even in that short time I knew that the rsbs program was worthy of this award because I was instantly wowed by the program the dedication of the staff the hard work of the students and so I want to give a special shout out to Liz picciniti she ran with it submitted the application and put all of the data in there and really represented all the hard work that everyone does but truly this is the most dedicated group of people that
024that I've had the privilege of working with they truly give their all every single day for the students in the classroom the love and care they have for the students is evident every day is a new day they have an endless well of positivity that they tap into and come in and show up for our students every day I also want to give a shout out to our students who are an amazing group of people and I am so honored and proud to to be here and be able to recognize them in this way so thank you for all of your hard work and everything you do for our students every day you are so deserving of this award [Music] and um just just to build on that echoing to the beginning of mine but
025that's okay um and I just wanted to say that I think that the collaboration in this team I think is is second to none it definitely takes a village there's no I in team all of those things and and this group in front of us tonight really exemplifies that and if I could just um quote when I hear Rita Pearson say that every child deserves deserves a champion an adult that will never give up on them and understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be and that and that's that's all of you so with gratitude from all of us for all that you put into your kids your nuggets your Ever every day um I'm honored we're honored to recognize our team of Champions who persevere
026through the good days and those that those that present obstacles with the shared vision of supporting each and every child so thank you for all that you do [Applause] Lara batesol Carrie Blackford Jen Bradley is also not here Lisa Burdette [Music] [Applause] [Music] Judy Syria [Music] [Applause] Brittany chard [Applause] INE ciotti [Applause] [Music] Casey Clements [Applause] Janelle dashiko Melissa Melissa Demarco is not here Chris Dunn [Applause] Aaliyah [Laughter] I know my limitations congratulations Danielle friedenthal our behaviorist is not here tonight Aisha Hawkins congratulations thank you Dylan not here tonight he was with us earlier Michelle mcandrew thank you Donna O'Connor so not here Sue panchella Elizabeth piccinini [Applause] I hope I haven't you skinny [Music] Donna Poole Lisa Sadowski [Applause] congratulations Rachel to Dooney case manager is not here tonight and Jamie Turman no Jamie

028um I'm going to read the certificate if we could have our music staff who are here come on down because I feel like just come on come on down now because uh this award really puts its arms around every single aspect of music education and I'm looking at Ms McCool like Mr Google you got to come up for this one I know you're usually taking the pictures but this one you got to come on up the uh so it says as everybody's walking down it says Evesham Township School District is recognized as one of The NAMM which uh stands for National Association of Music merchants it's a national award 2023 best communities in music education Nationwide for outstanding support of music education um there were about 800 districts recognized with this which sounds like a
029decent number but not if you look at as I did how many school districts there are across the entire country and when you look at the entire country it actually places Us in the top four percent of school districts for music education across the entire country so which is just I go back to Old grading it's like an A plus basically so um that's absolutely fantastic um and uh I know I'm standing next to Rob and Sarah here and you guys worked on the application I don't know if you want to talk a little bit about like uh just what it what it was you know I could talk a little bit and what I forget Mr Fox can fill in um so yeah Mr Fox and I got together and we went on a
030zoom call with some other Educators in New Jersey and heard about the process and thought you know what we have an awesome program in Evesham it's time that we get recognized for it so we sat down and we went through this page after page application 67 pages to be exact um we had to get like exact numbers and percentages and things like that and just think reflecting on everything that we do in Evesham Township and the amazing teachers we have and the opportunities we offer these students in music I was like we have to get this if we don't get this what else could we do so we were really excited when we found out that we we were selected and Mr Fox you want to add anything okay so the process was long but
031the reward was totally worth it and I mean when you hear the kids and you see these guys up here I mean I don't know we it's awesome so thank you and just uh just just as I'm as we're all standing here I'm looking at everybody I was just thinking about like how um it takes coordination and vision at every level to achieve this from you know starting at the curricular level and creating the structure that we have here to our curriculum Department to be able to have you know such a scaffolded multi-pronged music education programming and then at every aperture of that structure to have people carrying out that same vision you know because among the people we have here we it's it's I mean we're talking General music we're talking instrumental music we
032have theater programs that have continued to Blossom every year and grow and you know that is all under the umbrella of music education and arts education and um so I just I'm I'm like and then you just took the time to do the six seven page application you know so uh somewhere and you're like you're you know it's not you have like a 26 hour day I think not a 24-hour day like the rest of us but uh a few dinners okay so um so let's let's do the awards can you want to come over and you can Rob Fox Maddie Goldman it's not here Joe Malone [Applause] Mark White is not here all right yep Junior crescenza okay [Applause] Heidi Dillon very special retiring this year Mike Eustis not here Jen Kane not here

044it was at that informative of our field we reported to us that requirements for the mandated training board member once you're sworn in in January as a new board member you have nice to take in governance one which is a big change it used to allow till the end of the year so moving forward that that anybody would have to abide by and then the other update date was very interesting it was from one of the attorneys he went over a bunch of bills that were passed through the assembly that I thought were important there were a number of bills to alleviate the teacher shortage issue that he spoke about you can read about it online but some for example expedited certification throughout our professionals and they've talked about um the teacher certification reimbursement fund
045and so on you're shaving like in your head you know about it and um two of the things I thought were very interesting to alleviate the bus driver shortage and they are told on I have to scroll down to that okay so this bill would allow the drivers like non-cbl drivers to drive the small school buses the ones that only have nine students you do not need a CDL to drive those buses which will help but of course it has not been passed the other thing is the waiver for the under the hood certification the CDL certification for under the hood has been waived for school bus drivers that's going to continue that's been extended which was also very good and the last thing for John Finance they are another bill is to allow school
046districts to keep buses for 20 years instead of 15. step right so we have to move our eye on the Windows as they move through the state legislature very interesting thank you you're welcome Mr Kenton thanks Mr Ryan yeah I just wanted to commend you again for giving your board member certification um I think it's really easy when you're a leader to kind of put your feet up and worry about everyone else but not only do you worry about kids but you're also continuing your own education I think that says a lot about your growth mindset and I think thank you so much appreciate that guys are there any quizzes remarks on the board okay at this point I'll ask our emotions return it's snowing second is fast all those in favor bye all right
047give me a journey [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign
