You know, I bet there's not very many schools around here that get that many donations. So, great job and thank you. That's all I got. Yeah, the donations are impressive, but uh it takes all those students to go out and get them and they work really hard at the at the funding and their own programs. So, we appreciate their efforts and in all
024they do. It's not necessarily just the sport they play or the activity they participate in. It's uh also out helping helping fund it. So, hats off to our to our students as well.
