One is the Hebron Schools Education Foundation held the Daddy-Daughter Dance, the Winter Ball um a little over a week ago. And it was a a rousing success. They made the most money that they have ever made. Uh last I heard it was a little over $13,000. And as you know, that the education foundation, they give grants away for teachers. And uh they also do scholarships as well. But um you know, the grant the grants are due April 2nd, so teachers
005have those in their hands. And typically in May we like to recognize all of the grant recipients. So um foundation grants are due April 2nd, and hopefully we get some some great uh applications there. Talk a little bit about the the field house update. We have kind of a a groundbreaking ceremony, which is going to be Friday. Um March 20th at 10:00 a.m. right outside the high school uh in the area where the field house is going to go. Um sent several invitations to people. I still have some more to send out. But the guys from Verity will be there along with some of the contractors. And um they'll have the golden shovels and everything. So we don't want to make it too long of a ceremony, but we definitely want to make it special.
006So um being told that on the timeline, the field house will be done at this time next year. So maybe next year at this time we'll be having a ribbon cutting ceremony. But um getting excited to start to see some work being done. There was a little bit of work done over there today. But um just some surveying and and some geotech items. So, just going to be excited. And a lot of that digging is supposed to start over spring break. Probably dependent on the weather at this point. And then finally, spring break's coming up. I hope that if people go away, they are safe and uh and they're able to have a good time with family. So, that's all I have. Okay. Anybody from the board got any comments? Okay. I'll With that being
007said, I'll entertain a motion to close. I make a motion to close. I'll second. All right. So moved. Meeting is adjourned at 7:06. 7:06.
