Uh first of all, I would really
021like to thank uh the adviserss who put together a fundraising event uh for the Botchi team. They received enough donations that they were able to purchase varsity letter jackets uh for all of the players and it was quite a surprise um at the banquet for them. Um with that, I asked Kathy Knap, one of the adviserss, to send me a copy of her speech. Um, I took one of the quotes uh right from her speech and I thought it was really important as our teams are headed off into playoffs or getting started for next year's uh teams, but not just student teams, but also our um teacher teams, athletics, academics, uh extracurricular and so forth. She said championship teams are not built on talent alone. Championship teams are built on trust, friendships, lifting each other
022up, and motivating each other. And I thought that was really important for us to think about as we move forward with a lot of uh things, athletics and teacher teams and everything else moving forward. Um, a few other highlights. Just as a reminder, our kindergarten registration uh event will be at Second District on May 22nd. Uh we have a STEM showcase at Cochran Junior Senior High School on May 23rd. Our Mamse project is on June 3rd. Our move up day uh primarily 6th to 7th grade uh will be on June 2nd. Uh we have very important graduation of course on June 6th starting at 7:00 at each respective building. And I also wanted to remind parents our last day of school on June 6th for students is a half a day. It is not a
023full day. It's a half a day for students. Uh and lastly, uh congratulations to our employees that have decided to retire this year. We have at this moment uh 22 employees that have uh either retired at the throughout the school year last summer and continuing through the summer here. Um, I totaled it up and it's almost 550 years of service. Uh, adding that up. So, uh, we had two administrators, uh, that retired this year, Alisa Willie, uh, and Matt Tar, who will be celebrating probably his last board meeting here with us. Uh, we had 11, uh, professional educators, Jan Karkin, Melanie Corson, Donald Erley, Sue Hol Thompson, Diana H. John Hyatt, Pan Mamros, Adele Marurus, Diane Minis, Analy Reed, and Jackie Cronin. And we also had nine uh support staff, Kathy Bllye, Linda Creek, Jen
024Dustin, Chris Frer, Eva Harkness, Steven Patruso, Lisa Pittner, Ron Tatters, and David Wheeler. everybody has um been a an excellent contribution in the workings of our district. And that's it. Thank you. Any other public or board comments? anything I I'm just going to make a reference to this um letter from um a student as part of her civics class and I will ask um this will probably go to Ken. She's basically writing that a lot of our um high school students who participate in sports are taking gym class. And I think she's asking that is there a way that if they participate in a gym or in a sport sporting event of some sort and I would probably include marching band because it is very athletic that um they get exempt from taking a high
025school gym class in place of that school sport. And some of these kids are playing sports not just one, they're doing multiple. And I think it would be um I mean she's got a good idea here. Take a look at what could be done. And we're not talking about students that are just, you know, going through school just to play a sport. some of these are high academic classes these kids are taking that if they didn't have to rely on taking a fizzed class and could take a she's suggesting a study hall to help them throughout their day because they are away at night for games and that I think um I mean it's a valid point that what she's made in here and I'll give you this letter Ken that maybe you can look
026at um and maybe respond back to her I don't know whether it's part of her grade but it was just kind of unique to get a letter from her that I mean she's taking a step here and I know part of this is that her I'm assuming it's I think it's her brother was also injured as a player and um the the impact that that what's that in gym class in gym class. He was injured in gym class. So that takes an impact on your um sporting event and I think there's some there's some um weight to this that maybe you could just take a look at and I don't know whether we can do anything on that or whether it's mandated by the state but physical ed is fizzed and I know some school
027districts out in the country have even gone to where kids have done lawnmowing as part of their gym class and getting credit for the school school gym class. So maybe there's some options out there even beyond what she's saying that might help us alleviate some. And I'm not saying we're going to get rid of gym teachers cuz I know they have a valuable aspect, but there's some things that maybe a kid could do that would help them out. So I'll give you that letter at the end of the meeting here that you can maybe respond to her and go from there. Absolutely. Any other comments? Not. Is there a motion for adjournment? Jerry, is there a second? Second. Ed. All in favor, please say I. O meeting is hereby adjourned.
