They're um helping us hide things. They're painting walls. They're scrubbing floors. The wax looks great. Like all the like it's every day. They are just constant and we appreciate them so much. The building
014is looking so wonderful and I just can't say enough great things about them. I also had a flyer about the registration day. Um we're excited. We were just talking about this today. We're ready for kids to be back in this building. We we're ready for the noise. We're ready for doors slamming. We want to hear giggles. We want to hear lockers. We're ready. Um and very excited about it. It is very cute. Kindra did that for us. Um, so Audrey has been and our preschool team have been participating in some compliance classroom setup and management training. They're going to be doing that later this month. Um, they of course our teachers first day is August the 4th and the first day for students is August the 6th. We've been talking a little bit about what
015those days are going to look like. We have an admin team meeting on July 25th for the whole day. So, we're excited about that. Um, I can't extend my heartfelt thank you to Kendra for all of her work and guidance over the past couple of months. She has been a tremendous has been tremendously helpful throughout this process of transition and I will get a little choked up about it. Like she has given her soul to me and I greatly appreciate that. Same with the board with this transition and all my questions and text messages at random times asking questions. the custodial team, Larry Henry, everyone. I just can't thank everyone enough for helping with this transition and and I'm so looking forward to moving forward and continuing to grow and spoil these kids every day.
016Can't wait. Um Kendra and I completed our Kendra, right? And I have completed our budget workshop with Ryan Harmon. He provided us excellent guidance and feedback as we prepare financially for the 2526 school year. and beyond. Amy Money has attended some training through the IDOE and met with our designated field specialist. She's also collaborated with another local cafeteria manager to ensure our cafeteria is ready for the start of school year. uh the beta trips to Orlando. I know that um Audrey and Kendra both talked about those, but I can't tell you I was able to firsthand see how fantastic our kids just their respectful attitudes and they listened to the beta sponsors and they, you know, they were in there working. So, this is really funny. So, the middle I went with the middle school
017and they they they also won third place in um the competition and I was like standing at the back because this is this very large venue, right? And all these people are in there and I'm standing back there and I'm like so excited there and they're like they're sitting there and I was really funny. Um I said uh so Bentley went up on this stage and received the um plaque and I said well how did you determine Bentley got to go up to front because I thought everybody would want to go up there. It was a nose goes and he was the last one. So, I thought that was kind of funny, but it was a great experience for me to see all of the the positive things. And I can't say enough of like
018those sponsors. I know for a fact that Reva Troutman was up every morning at 5:30 and she was the last one to go to sleep at night. She was on top of everything. I didn't realize all the stuff that you have to take to a beta conference. When we got on the bus, I looked in the back. I was thinking, we're going to have all kinds of room for seats. We sat together in a seat and there's like this buggy in the back and all these great things, all the kids projects. And the kids, Reva said, "Guys, we got to unload it." They unload it. Guys, we unloaded in rain. Guys, we got to get it back on the bus. They got it back on the bus. We had to put it under the bus.
019Guys, let's put it under the bus, you know, because they we had a a shuttle. So, they it was great. Um, I was thinking we wouldn't have to bring all that back, but we do. So, it was it was a wonderful experience for me. And I will say the parents that were there, kudos to them, too, because they did everything the sponsors asked. They helped in every way in I could say many more ways than they should have as parents, but they were very willing to step up and help us. And I can't say thank you enough to some of those parents that I got to work with directly and I know the same for Kendra when you had your parents there. It was phenomenal. Absolutely not. No. Um I would like to thank all
020of the students and staff who participated in the parade. I know the middle school band was involved in it and all the all the kids and everybody who helped with the band and and uh the the made the parade possible. And I know I missed the catfish 5K. I was sad about it. But we had a lot of I I brought the Schulz news. I love all the coverage and all the photos of all of the kids in the in the newspaper. It's really great. So, uh it was it was a wonderful experience. And we of course we had the booth at the catfish festival which was a great experience. We had the opportunity to engage with community members. We kept trying to push books and I kind of used Miss Hawkins as a you
021know I was like she Mimi had she made sure we had books there and she said we need to get these books in kids' hands. So I said if you don't take book Miss Hawkins will find you. So it was really good to engage with kids and just thank everyone on the staff who volunteered to help the booth. Reva and Kendra set up the booth, taking it down, moving it to the Martin County Fairgrounds. It's just wonderful to see. It is hot out there and everybody's out there themselves and we had popsicles and everybody and we even had people from other boots come over and get popsicles. It was great. So, it was a wonderful There's more. I thought we would run out possibly. Hello. Yeah, it was really great. Um, I've truly enjoyed the
022opportunity so far that I've had to speak with staff and students and administrators throughout the summer. I must say that I'm thrilled to have the staff and students back in the building. Um, and I I say again, I need to hear some noise, but I've had former students and so has Miss Eubank coming in and we're just having conversation. We're out now having their kids in the building and we were just thrilled to be able to to be back wearing our Jug Rocks gear and and uh yeah, one of them sitting right next to us. Both of them on each side. Yeah. But it's been a wonderful welcoming experience and I can't say I know she feels the same way. We Let's get some kids in here and let's let's get this school year started.
023Great. Thanks for that. Anything on the financials that we need to be aware of? I mean, we're starting the budget process and all that good stuff. Anything other than that? We just need to be cognizant of our spending. We do know that there are cuts coming from state and legislation. And I think that was great to have those conversations with Brian Herman and and he had very positive things to say about our building and our finances and things like that. But he he did kind of, you know, give us that little it's kind of like everybody in our own households, right? We really need to kind of watch our butt. So, we're watching the motion to pay claims. Second, all in favor? I just want to say thanks to everybody too. High school principal time
024in a little while that got stability coming here faces turning faces. All on the side. I got anything else? 14. [Music]
