Mr. [Music] Mr. April 17, 2025. Second any questions? All in [Music] favored and unfished business approval of the agenda. Okay. A motion to the agenda was presented. Motion second second any questions all in favor. Opposing motion cares. Remarks from visitors anyone welcome to speak. Okay. Thank you for coming out student representatives. Mr. student good evening ladies and gentlemen my name is Mr. Stop and I'm here to represent BQ. I have one student today with me Liamov and um we have been a part of the B IQ program for about on and off now for about
00310 years uh break during COVID and it's a type of program that if we don't have a lot of interest we tend not to be run it it is the it's a program where we use manufacturing uh skills to design build test and compete with a 15 combat robot. So battle boss if you're aware this is our newest this was our combat robot this year battle bolt uh second year for the name. Uh almost roughly the same identical style as last year a little bit more streamlined. Um it has two drive train cars here and here. Brushless motors. Uh 18 scale hobby cars if you guys are familiar with RC cars. and it uses a one scale hobby car for its weapon. So our goals in the previous couple of years were to our first
004robot that we used for a couple of years that I that we designed but we had Tiger fabricate for us. It was very slow didn't have a weapon. It was all wedged and if we were flipped over we were we had to go forth. So our goals for the last two years were to be able to solve the invert inversion process to be able to drive upside down and to get a weapon work. Last year we had a weapon we had the same pretty much style. Our weapon was a little bit different, a little bit smaller. Weapon didn't work last year. We had some problems with the electronics and thankfully we solved them this year but we were able to uh drive upside down. This year everything work we go back last year we finished
005two it's it's a double elimination tournament one one tour only there's a prelim so we a scene prelimination we preliminary we normally don't fight in I always take the idea that we don't if we are damaged out to too much we cannot compete a month later in the finals we don't have the funding we don't have the time to refabricate a new block. So this year we were we actually were able to uh compete in prelims and we had some faults. Weapon didn't work right off the bat. Funny thing is it was working 30 seconds earlier. It didn't work in the arena. I'm talking to Mr. Frank about that today. It might be some kind of um signal communication issue, but we solved all this for finals. We finished one and two this year in
006finals. It wasn't the way we went out to go. Time constraints, some weight management issues. Our bot needs to shave off maybe a good or two for good. Not just take screws out and fly. We lost to a coinf. So we win happy with that our fights. Liam was one of my core members the other members sh and ran now one attend tonight they have some files to study for. So Liam's here. Liam was in charge of the binder. He did all the budgeting the account uh accounting fundraising and um handled all that paperwork. So I can talk and if I can set this up and you can drop. Um my name is Liamovic I was head of financing for the team. He spent roughly $500 on the robot. Like he said we won one
007and two. Um we got many local sponsors such as Riz's Roadh and a barrage company inland fabrication. fabrication in Brown I believe. What else do we do with them? Um we the industry we learned a lot about how steel and the fabrication barges works. Um the treatment of the steal, stuff like that. Um there were two other core members. We had a team of six or seven I believe. We some of our sponsors other sponsors were 84 lumber Tiger Industries Jeff and Gary Roberts Jeffinski have been so valuable to me for the last decade. It started with me giving Gary a picture and he actually designed it in CAD himself and over time I said I'm not going to make him do that for free. So we started learning CAD and it's a long process.
008But we're we're getting tiger bone very they designed the only thing that was designed out of house was the weapon well ex fabricated outside of the school was the weapon. Everything else was done in house in my room. Uh hobby seam seas we machined the plastics. Uh some little bit of aluminum machined able to do that. Um other than that everything else was bought or fabricated by us or typed. That's the goal for the future. Next year we're looking to get a lot smaller. Aluminum faster smaller uh more violent weapon as this was violent but it was too small. We had to get underneath them to win. So you want to drive if you guys give us some time we will not turn the weapon. So during at the beginning of the fight we have
009a student coming arena with a with the bot he we have a safety feature they take off the wooden bar to prevent the um weapon from moving turns it on and then we can use the arenas are 10x1 and 12x1s we were there currently I believe 65 schools 75 different teams some schools all to have two teams that is a goal for us to uh next year we do have sign up two teams hopefully we we'll just take this one back as one team and we design whole new b another team yeah You will not turn a weapon on but the weapon. Yeah. Yeah. Weapon. I'm not just a spinner. It's just a big bicycle pal. So it just spins horizont and um it gets underneath the bot and it took off. We had team
010for so first match we lost square better team. Uh we faced the pun team younger team and we beat them in 28 seconds. So it was bright. Uh the third fight like I said both teams was I can't remember if it was Fox Chapel or someone else but both we were literally right next to each in inspection and every before every fight you have to go through inspection weight electronic battery things like that so they don't want you you know put another components in where you weigh more. They are very strict with a 15.00 PB weight limit so both teams were standing there for about 10 10 minutes and we couldn't pass inspection fast enough. They said we're done. They asked for one representative and they already flipped the coin before we got there which
011I'm not going to get into right now. So that looks good with some new logos on it. Danny we have for the last three years we have actually last year we did we didn't do it this year because we were B was had a gracious donation. We were able to actually rely on that pretty much only. Um but last year we actually walked around one one day after school in October we actually walked around a lot of the businesses and for you know asked for money for donations and we we had tier donations actually in the binder where if they you know if they donated $00 they would get a piece of the bod or some t-shirts and stuff like that and we tried to um honor you know the tiers of uh fundraising so
01284 lumber my buddy at Rizles 84 lumber Roy's dad works for 84 lumber bots IQ uh there is a donor that cannot be named $700 military they don't want to be named so and they actually couldn't donate to us they donated the bots IQ in care of us so they were they gave us the money um any other big ones that you can think of Vesta Vesta quo things you originally this was supposed to be happening last month I had surgery couple of them sick they do have an interviewing process there so they go through a whole the binder has resumes cover letters and they go through a 15 minute 20 minute interview where they have to talk about what they've learned and how they handled this as a class. So it is offered as
013a class here. I hope to continue that and have two teams. Any questions? Thank you. Congratulations. Any other administrative reports? Thank you. During the month of April in Mayaria school district continue to celebrate incredible for seniors and highlight student and staff achievements across all levels. Uh from academic successes like our environath on team sweeping first, second and third place in the county to career readiness highlights such as Olivia Miners first place win at the state prart restaurant management competition and advancing to the nationals. Our students continue to excel. We also spotlighted hands on learning including STEM experiments, test prep carnivals, art shows and engaging EA and science activities across the elementary in the middle school. Our athletic programs had standout moments as well, including Bailey Barnac's 500th career strike, um the Lady Mike success and
014coach uh Dave Briggs being named for the tricata softball coach of the year along with our baseball team uh in the playoffs right now. I believe they're winning 91 I think last I heard. So, best of luck to them. Uh we also recognized the essential roles of our pair professionals, school librarians, administrative professionals and highlighted ongoing efforts of in inclusion and awareness through autism awareness day in the growing women and voice group. School spirit was on full display through events like senior lockin, prek ABC fashion show, the Bunny Bowl Flag football game and the drama club clubs cast party and lockin. These moments reflect the strong sense of community and student centered focus that defined Car Michels. That concludes my report. Thank you, Mr. Elementary school principal. Yes, I'm going in reverse order. Um, I
015have listed all the events for you for the month of May. Um, and you can read those, but there two that I want to highlight graduation is May 27th and fifth grade graduation is May 29th. Um fifth grade did have their move up day when they came up and they were able to meet um and talk with Mr. Poland as well as staff members and towards the sixth grade um classrooms and the common areas such as the cafeteria that they'll be using. The wellness room I've given a few updates on the wellness room throughout the year. Um I just want to say now everything that has been ordered is now in place. Um we have had students using it intermittently. We don't have full staff for that room um but we have had students use
016it. Um and it has been shown to be effective. At this time I want to publicly acknowledge two of the donors. There have been others but TC energy and conser they had sizable donations that really made the room become a reality. Um especially with some of the larger purchases that now have finally come in. And we're able to say that for now that's what the room will look like. Um hopefully as we go through the years we'll be able to get more funding and continue to add and enhance that area. Um the PSSA testing officially ended for us at the elementary on May 8. That was the day that all the makeups were finally finished and materials were returned to the state. Um so we did utilize almost the entire window including that makeup time.
017And finally um and I spoke with Mr. More so we were in line to do this tonight. I like to recognize our second grade teacher Mrs. Then who is with us in attendance. On May 2, um a student started choking in her room and in speaking with Z Howard who went to answer the call when we found out that this was happening. She said that he said that Mrs. Vanell had already performed the lake um had done it very effectively was poised and brave in performing that and everything was already in place as it should have been. He assured me that her actions to that situation on being nearly as dangerous as it could have been. So we did want to take a moment to recognize and we elementary and certificate for that actually concludes
018my report. Thank you little school principles report than Mr. President you know we did finish up testing around May 8 as well. Would like to thank Miss Caris counselor for kind of spearheading that also Mr. Travison for making sure you know we had one little glitch with the online testing. Um we did fix that immediately we called the RC was not a breach nothing like that. our students some of our students had problems getting quotations around some of those things they were typing it's not anything that's going to affect their scoring according to what gentleman so I'm not too worried about but other than that it ran smoothly we got the makeups done promptly and and went pretty well I thought so so I would like to thank Travis and J for that uh you
019know some of the things we've been doing here in the middle school uh you know we did have move up day with the fifth uh fifth grade on Monday that's always fun they got the media center, the cafeteria, the gym, walk around, meet the teachers that they're going to have. We plan on having grade orientation August 12th tentatively, but I think that's a hard for for the fall for those guys. So, we'll get that by, you know, Facebook we communicate that with parents as we get closer to next year. Um, the wax museum was on Tuesday. That's always a fun night for me. The six creators work really hard on that. Um, if you don't know what that is, they pick up a historical person and they kind of emulate the history of them and
020they freeze in the cafeteria. have to push their hand and they kind of, you know, stay the little what that person is. Kids work really hard on it. Teachers work really hard on it. Um, band concert was last night. I thought that was great, you know, middle school and high school band concert as well. Uh, going further as we get ready to close the middle school down, you know, we always when we get back in Christmas stay in communication with students that have the possibility of being retained every four and a half weeks. we you know we contact parents to make sure that at this time of the year we don't bomb them with hey your son or daughter might have to take summers for be retained so those logistics are are in there very
021minimal right now and those students can still pas so i'm not so worried about that uh with that being said mrhart with your approval I know we do have and I don't jump gone you guys vote it uh but I would like to thank Mr. boss. I know he's getting ready to retire today. He is uh if you guys know they've been a lot of fun with our staff this year. You know, he's kept it light on the sixth grade. I think he's done a great job with their students. He's been a lot of fun to be around this year. So, I will thank him. I know he's not here, but if you know Dave, he's a character and I wish him the very best retirement. I also know Miss Mitchell is getting ready to.
022So, thank you uh for all your service, Miss Mitchel. I know you've touched my children as well so thank you and this guy next to me uh you know Dave I wish you nothing but the best in retirement I didn't get to say that last time so thank you with that being said that thank you high principle thank you Mr. Rhart as Mr. online middle school PS testing has wrapped up.

Um advanced placement online testing completed this week. Keystone online testing wraps up next week. Uh knock on wood no problem so far. So everything is going uh going excellent.
023Um also tonight on the agenda um Mr. Colton Belmont is officially resigning from his position as my assistant. Mr. Belmont spent the last four years as a dedicated employee of the district.
