I wanted to give a shout out to the Roosevelt High School Theater Department who did a fantastic job with their fall production. It was two different plays with an intermission in the middle. They are some incredibly talented students and they worked hard both on stage and those worked behind the scenes to make it a success.

009weeks. And so we'll come back on Monday, January 5. Ready to learn. Ready to learn. Board members, any announcements? Yes. There's one more concert.

It's always a good one. Any other board members? Any board members have anything they want to share about things that they've been doing in the holidays? We're kind of at the end of our Q4. If you've done any volunteering or if you've done any work in the schools, we'd love to hear about it. I'd just like to give a quick shout out. So I have the opportunity to attend a few book fairs and holiday shops and a couple of

010lunches at some of the elementary schools. And huge shout out to the parent coordinators at each one of those elementary schools. They put in so much time and just to make each one of these events more than special for the kids. So a fabulous job to those parent coordinators. Yeah, that's a real unsung hero. They keep that in the name. Santa shop is a huge thing in elementary for sure. Anyone else? All right. Seeing no other announcements, I will entertain a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn. Support.
