The message I have for them is I'm going to miss you. uh this has been a journey for you. I don't know exactly how many years it's been, but if you've been with Dayton public schools and you're retiring, I am wishing you well and I want you to come back and volunteer. I want you to wish us well on social media and I want you to stay connected to the district cuz you're always going
012to be part of the family. I hope that you took away that you were so valuable in the lives of children. Whatever your job was, you were valuable to children and to this operation that we know as Dayton public schools and to the community. Children are our most prized assets. So you were part of building those children who would then become productive adults. Uh that's I want you to know your work mattered. So your impact as an employee, if you were a teacher, of course people always think teachers and teachers you are important. Uh but if you were a custodian, you were amazing at making sure kids had the environment that was clean. If you were a transportation specialist or bus driver, you were amazing at making sure they got the extracurricular activities and got
013to school and got home. If you were the secretary, you were so important to our five Cs, customer service. You were the first voice, first face they saw when they walked in. Whatever your role was, from custodian to secretary to transportation to pair professional to operations who make sure that things are working inside the building. Uh all of those roles are super important. And of course, being a former principal, um if you're an administrator or principal, your role is important as well. Listen, this is a really important date. I want you to know that I'm close to this, too. This is year 30. So, sure enough, at some point, uh, I'll be on the other side and saying my goodbyes to Dayton public schools. [Music] [Music] Hi, I'm Kristen and this is Jay. We are

017[Music] Thanks for watching as you kindergarten. [Music] Make sure you subscribe. What time is it? Three, two, one. Yeah. So, the Lily summer camp program is all about STEMbased projects and different modulars. So, the kids are faced with different scientific challenges um and different topics focusing on the engineering design program and the scientific method. Three, two, one. It's not like regular school. So, that's what makes it engaging. The challenges that the kids have throughout the different modules also make it engaging as well. But it's more so I'm coming learning throughout the summer, but I'm having fun throughout the summer as well. I really like that they let you use your creativity and they kind of make you feel special. They let you kind of do your own thing. They give you instructions, but they let
018you mostly follow your own path. I like that they give us um challenges that I'm able to handle and I really love designing things. Mr. Cutation is good like always. I saw him at the Victoria Theater and his was good too. So he's just doing the same things and I like his things. I like to see it every time they come here. It's good. [Applause] I like that it's fun. You learn a lot of stuff like science, math, reading, and like the science experiment we just did. It was really cool. Parents or others may think, oh, it's summertime, so learning stops. Learning never stops. So as they continue to come to the program, you know, it's just enriching them and and inspiring them to want to be inventors and inspiring them to continue to work
019with others and collab with others. So I do think that this program should continue to be going. That's why this is my third year coming cuz again, I'm having fun too with it.
