006any unfinished business? Any new business? I just have one item and it's has nothing to do with the delaying this. But the the Abington Heights mock trial team, their season ended in Dauphin County Courthouse last Friday. They did awesome. They improved every case that they had. It was a tough case. It was about negligence in health care. I personally learned a lot from being there and they deserve a lot of credit. The teachers, the coaches, the staff and most importantly the students cuz a lot of time goes into that. So, congratulations. Another year where they went to states again. And they went to states last year, too. And they just fell short. I was a little biased. I was there. I thought they they did better than what the end result was, but they deserve
007a lot of credit. Absolutely. I agree. Absolutely. Thank you very much. That's a great result. Okay. Then that particular case, I move for a motion to adjourn. So moved. Thank you, Dan.
