002Thank you for having us here tonight. I'm Kate Rino, the principal here at Center Elementary, and we always love the opportunity to showcase our students and our staff in our school. So, thank you very much for being here. Um, I'm going to start with recognition for a team of staff members who absolutely shine in our front office. If I could have Mrs. Dunian, Miss Unrei, and Miss Keg come up for a minute, please. They're loving me right now [Laughter] for All right. We're proud to honor Mrs. Desire Demian, Britney Ungrad, and Lorie Tag for their exceptional dedication and invaluable contributions as members of the Center Elementary School office team. These outstanding professionals embody the Mayfield way, demonstrating unwavering commitment to students, staff, families, and the entire Cyclone School community. They are often always the first
003to respond when assistance is needed and always willing to lend a helping hand. Their ability to anticipate and meet the needs of our Cyclone family is truly remarkable. Whether assisting students, supporting staff, or engaging with parents and visitors, they consistently exemplify collaboration, problem solving, and innovation. Through their professionalism, compassion, and dedication, they foster a welcoming, efficient, and supportive learning environment for all. Their loyalty to Mayfield is evident in their 46 combined years of service during which they have played integral roles in supporting students with medical, emotional, academic, and behavioral needs. They also work together to welcome visitors and new families, ensuring a smooth transition into the community. Beyond their daily responsibilities, these dedicated professionals have also raised six Wildcats of their own, further deepening their connection to our school community. On behalf of Mayfield City
004Schools, we extend our deepest appreciation for their commitment to excellence, their hard work, dedication, and passion. The entire Mayfield community says thank you. [Applause] Let's take some photos, but I want to take over here because there's too much stuff in that way. Sure. Do you guys want to get in? Sure. Okay. We'll probably have to do two rows. So, yeah, you guys step up front. Let's give him another round of [Applause] applause. Good evening everybody. I have the honor of Something I never thought I would ever be able to do. Nikki, come on up. I know. Not supposed to go off script. I just want to say this though. 1994 was a long time ago in some regards, but not so much. We've been here always and always together. And I can't imagine it without
005you. But I'm going to read what the script says. So, here we go. Um we would love to recognize um Nikki Molassic, our second grade teacher at Center who is going to be retiring at the conclusion of this school year. We have the privilege of recognizing and celebrating the outstanding career of Nikki Molassid, a dedicated and innovative educator whose impact on Mayfield City Schools has been truly remarkable. Nikki joined Mayfield City Schools in the summer of 1994, beginning her career in a first and second grade multi-age classroom. She later embraced looping between first and second grade before finding her home in second grade where she has been a guiding force for the past 24 years. Throughout her tenure, Nikki has exemplified creativity, efficiency, leadership, always striving to enhance the educational experience for her students and
006colleagues. A true pioneer, Nikki introduced a collaborative teaming model among her second grade colleagues long before it became a widely adopted practice in education. She consistently seeks innovative ways to engage and support her students, designing creative behavior management strategies and crafting lessons tailored to meet the diverse needs of her classroom. She has a remarkable ability to recognize when students need extra support and takes the necessary steps to ensure their success, always going above and beyond to meet their needs. At the core of Mickey's work is integrity, the foundational value of Center Elementary's PBIS program and the field way. Never want to seek recognition, Nikki has always done what is right for her students simply because it's the right thing to do. Her leadership has extended beyond the classroom as she has actively contributed to teacher
007leadership teams throughout the years, offering insight, inspiration, and unwavering support to her colleagues. Whatever Nikki sets her mind to, she excels with passion and purpose. While it is impossible to replace Mrs. Molassic. The skills, creativity, and leadership she has instilled in her colleagues will continue to influence and inspire for years to come. Her ingenuity has left an unforgettable mark on our school community. We wish her all the best as she begins this exciting new chapter, knowing that wherever life takes her, she will continue to make a difference. Congratulations, [Applause] How about the three of you? We'll just Oh, yeah. We'll do them after. Nice. And then family Great. [Applause] Next, we'd like to recognize three outstanding center students.

021Second. I would just simply like to comment that this is a firm that's been auditing the the district books.

However, they do the actual financial statement preparation and historically the auditor of state's office has done both parts. So this is not anything
022that is unique to having a separate firm do both parts. The state does review. They have a basically a review of all the work. So it's just a kind of replicating that in the state level to firm. So they put do they put the caffer anymore to help you put it together? The actor put the actor together. Catherine roll call. Mr. Terresy, yes. Mr. Darl, yes. Miss Greed, yes. Mr. President, yes.
