I didn't plan on talking. I was just here to support the program
002to keep it at Frederick Town. That was my main concern when I heard it was going to change. Sure. And so that's why I'm here. I wanted to thank the board for all the decisions that you all have to make and imagine everything you have to handle. But appreciate you're considering letting the community voice their opinions, take consideration. I just learned that you were going to renew the contract for Miss Burton for the next year. Great. I think she does a great job. I've worked with her for this fall be 15 years. She does excellent job. She works so hard. She's dedicated to this program at this school. She wouldn't been here this long. And this was here in support of of the whole thing. When we travel, we try to tell people what count
003the home of the FFA jacket. Nine out of 10 know what that is. So we educate the one that doesn't and they're very interested in that. They think that's great here this long since their 20s here. That's about it. My son was in FFA under Dan Humphrey. Excellent job. I think I was hoping to get a hold of Michael because he went through the program was at FFA. He works for a company and he's his basis I think of what he does now. He has a couple patents under his belt because of his I think that's growing up on the farm and there's other kids I'm sure that you know like down there on that you know participated and use that in other fields of endeavor and done well. So they make him proud. So,
004we just were concerned that the program was going to, you know, take away, I guess you'd say. I know it's hard to get kids interested in things kind of like the preacher trying to get people coming to church anymore, but they sit home and watch it, you know, but you know, you try to get participation. So, we'll just pray for that because there's so much involved in agriculture anymore. You don't have to be on track. You can all different goes off. Oh, are we supposed to Well, we appreciate you coming and taking the time to come. I did it today and I thought I called a few people to come, but it was, you know, too quick. Sure. One was sick and one had other things. Yeah. All right. Well, it's being recorded recorded, too.
