So, today I have the great pleasure of introducing and recognizing a group of talented and dedicated young lady wrestlers. These individuals have
013conquered many battles in the sport of wrestling and have exceeded my expectations far beyond what I imagined, especially with this only being the second year that the sport has been sanctioned by the IHSAA. I'm extremely proud of their hard work, their dedication, and their leadership as well. The sisterhood that they have cultivated within our team. First, I'd like to introduce Ms. Cynthia LaRose. She is A FIRST YEAR SO, MS. CYNTHIA LAROSE IS ACTUALLY A first year wrestler who showed fearlessness and eagerness to be great. She solidified her presence in the room by becoming a sectional champ and giving us a great match to watch. I wish you could have all watched that match. It was great. Um She showed great perseverance in that match and it literally that match showed what believing in yourselves looks
014like because Ms. Cynthia actually started in the team like a month after we had actually begun the season, so she had a little bit of amount amount of time to train and have matches that qualified her for the sectionals. So, that was a great thing to watch for her. Second, I'd also like to introduce to you Alyssa Vega. >> [applause] >> ALYSSA IS A remarkable athlete and a student. Alyssa loves wrestling so much. We actually had an introduction for all the girls during our team and one of the things that Alyssa said for she does for fun is just wrestle. That's literally what she does. This season she has shown great sportsmanship. She has shown what true hard work looks like and also by earning herself a MIC championship, which is a statement of her
015hard work. Third, I'd like to present to you Amira Puckett. >> [applause] >> SO, AMIRA PUCKETT IS AN amazing senior with a great future ahead. She had the pleasure We had the pleasure of witnessing what a great athlete she is in our room with consistent motivation to her teammates and having great grit. Also, again, being a first year wrestler, she was a runner-up at MIC and sectionals as well. So, great accomplishment for this young lady. Finally, I'd like to introduce Victoria Flores. SHE HAS ALSO SHOWN GREAT dedication and hunger. Every day she would come into the room, she just want to learn more and more and more and become better. She also pushes all her teammates to the limit. She has great amount of fuel to her, which actually fueled her to also win the
016MIC championship. And then, if I may add, both Alyssa and Victoria are both wrestling partners, which shows you just how much they push each other and all these young ladies in the room. So, definitely appreciative of all these young ladies that are here and I'm really looking forward to this third year, what it looks like cuz all of them except for Amira returning next year. So. >> [applause] >> I do have one final one. She could not be here today, but also she was also a MIC champion, which was Coriana Edwards. >> [applause] >> All right, thank you guys. >> [applause] >> All right, thank you.

Quinton Richardson was an eighth grader, also a MIC champion. He's currently not here. Focusing on football. Our next one is here is Caden Zaleah.

Next one is Nathaniel Anderson at 165, another MIC champion.

And it really breaks our heart to see the talent that we have at the middle school level and then everyone is reaching in to to to to to recruit our talent to other places versus coming to Pike for all 4 years. So, I would say to our parents again, please help us close the door on those you live in Pike and those who come and recruit our children to go elsewhere to play sports and and everything and compete, please help us.

It's great to be back in in
030the Central Elementary School and to see the records that have stood for so long and we had these guys just out outshined from years. Think 1989, maybe? I think that's that's a great testament to Pike and I like the fact that that uh Pastor Webster did say we need to keep our middle school and elementary schools in Pike and we need to do whatever it takes to talk to the parents to allow them to know that we have just as much of a experience and opportunity for the students even when they get into high school. And then secondly, I wanted to give a shout out to Jay Michael who was uh he's in the Pike Fire Department, he became a lieutenant. Um which is something rare. Good. He made it and I just wanted to
031give him a give him a heads up for that. And then shout out to my husband because today is our anniversary and I'm here with you instead of with him. So. Duty calls, Mrs. Wilson. >> Thank you, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Hooper. All right, so I just want to real quick say congratulations to all the athletes. Like I said, just hearing all of those accolades is so impressive. Congratulations to the parents, too. Kids don't get themselves to practice, get themselves that takes a all the work of the parents and just really do appreciate all the work that they clearly have put in on um just put in with their children. I guess leave it at that. Also, congratulations, you know, to have all of these accolades of coaches of the year. Obviously, we have the athletic
032director of the year, also. Um when Dr. Webster is saying, you know, help us keep our kids in Pike, why in the world would you go anywhere else? I mean, we've got all of the of the years wrapping up. So, don't bother going anywhere else. And then finally, had the chance to go with some other board members to the um ISBA regional meeting this last week and one of the things they went through was a lot of the legislative um legislation that was passed this last year. Um which is a reminder as early voting is out there, please get out and vote. Remember, I know this is the primary. Sometimes our options are limited in the election in November because of what happens in the primary. It is important, get out and vote. And if
033you're watching in the news at all, things that have been going on today, it is clear how under attack public schools are at the highest levels and please it it matters who you're voting for for state senators, for representatives, everybody that's downtown. It matters, please go out and vote and keep your school public schools in mind when you're doing so. Thank you, Mrs. Hooper. Mr. Anderson. Uh want to give another congratulations shout out to Ms. Neal on the work that she's done and also again to our our exceptional athletes. Again to their parents, I know it's not easy and it is not cheap. So, thanks again for those. Also to our anonymous donor who has come alongside of our exceptional learners, teachers that have shouldered the load for scholarships to bring in $10,000, that is
034phenomenal. I know that they they did it anonymously, so they want to be low-key. So, I appreciate them for that. And also just want to share my sentiments. I had the opportunity to go down to San Antonio for the National School Board Association and I learned so much about uh board superintendent relationships that we we brought back and that's going to help us move forward in the future. >> Absolutely. Thanks again. Thank you, Mr. Anderson. Mrs. Barnes. Uh I'd like to congratulate the Pike chapter of Best Buddies. I was with them on Sunday at the Friendship Walk and the chapter won the spirit award for the second consecutive year. And if you check the website, they are third in fundraising in our area. So, congratulations to Pike Best Buddies. It was fun to be part
035of their celebration at that event. I had the opportunity to represent our board at our district wellness council. Um so many wonderful things are happening. We're getting ready for our Red Devil Dash. So, board members, May 16th. May 16th. May 16th. Got you. Got [laughter] you. Um for us to participate with that. And one really interesting thing from that meeting that I just want to share here, we are going to start using a small device that it's a small MP4 player to have a walking classroom. And what it is is there are small short lessons loaded onto this just tiny little like a deck of cards size device. It's an MP3 player, so it's no Wi-Fi. It's just a little battery and headphones and it walks students through lessons that they can use during recess.
036So, for those who are just really not wanting to participate in team sports or whatever during recess, they can choose to listen to podcasts that are about lessons in a variety of topics. And so, that's something that'll be starting in our elementary schools. So, that was exciting to learn about that. It's called the walking classroom. That's all I have. Thank you, Mrs. Barnes. Mrs. Kelly. Good evening. I am going to take my opportunity. The board wants This is Administrative Professionals Week. And as you all know, we have one of the most outstanding administrative professionals that supports our superintendent, the board, and many of us sitting here. So, we want to take this opportunity to recognize Mrs. Pettiford for all her hard work and diligence with the board. We have a small token to give her
037from us to you. Dr. Young. Thank you, Mr. President. I would also like to congratulate our student athletes, coaches, administrators, parents for an outstanding winter season. Just couldn't be more proud of those athletes. I also want to give a shout-out to the teacher leaders that completed the Leadership Academy this year, and those aspiring administrators completed a um group of of proficiencies. They attended multiple meetings throughout the year. They engaged in activities, all with the um goal of really sharpening their their administrative skills. So, congratulations to those. All right. Well, that is it. We'd like to entertain a motion to adjourn. So moved, Mr. President. >> one thing? I'm sorry. >> is on the floor. >> is on The motion >> want me to say it. The [clears throat] motion is on the floor. Come on.
038I need to say this. The motion is on the floor. We we we You don't want me to say it. Let me re Yeah, don't say it. >> Let me re re re can't the motion and and Mrs. Mrs. Wilson. >> You guys know I'm new, right? So, I'm going to hold on to that as long as I can. But, I I wanted to say this because I know it's anonymous, and in my corporate world, when I worked, they always used to say it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. So, I'm not going to ask for permission, but I'm going to tell you that when this young man found out that exceptional learners were given out a scholarship, and they were thought that they weren't getting the money that he thought they should have,
039he called on upon his friends and co-workers or whoever he did, and came up WITH THAT $10,500. THANK [applause] YOU, MRS. WILSON. SORRY. The motion is in order. So moved, President. Second. Meeting adjourned. I don't care. All right.
