014money for them and and put it to good use. Anything else? Do you want to add anything, Mr. Miss Gar? >> You'll see. I'm so jealous. I'm so jealous as soon as as soon as I left the district.

Make sure that you invest in our most precious uh commodity, which are our kids. Uh make sure that they're taken care of. Uh yes, it's for curriculum and instruction, but at the same time, uh you know, as principles, uh we can get creative. So, uh make sure that you use it wisely. And uh we appreciate y'all's hard work and dedication to your jobs. Not only you, but your teachers and your any

015administrator on your campus. So, from the bottom of our hearts, uh, we're very happy to be able to do this for you all this year.

It's money that's given back to the students. It might not be to you or your assistant principles, but I think you may have some discretion as to where it goes. So, I think Mr. Penny said it best.
