Um it was like around like 9:45ish. And before that we actually had like a Veterans Day breakfast um in a staff lounge at 8:30 just to welcome them in and like uh just ask them to stay for the assembly and just enjoy their time. Um and then we also had put up uh like veterans banners. I don't know if you guys saw them. down on the fifth street and there were like multiple veterans and we uh did that with Mrs. Betty or Mrs. Palmer and she helped us uh go through all of that. Um, tomorrow at 7 we have our Veterans versus Student volleyball game
005as well as our Oh, wait, no, our Blackout volleyball tomorrow, November 13th. And then all money from both events will go to the Veterans Pantry. All of our fall sports just ended and this Friday is the end of our first trimester. And then the second trimester starts next Monday, the 18th, and winter sports also start on the 18th. And then we just wanted to say uh that Brendan Kramer got 25th out of 156 at the state cross country. And then our slow pitch softball team had received I believe it was the academic state championship. And then uh we have currently just relocated our clothing closet uh to Mr. Soen's room. I believe it was like in the staff like workplace and they really were using it. So we just relocated it to be able to
006have more students be able to shop in that place. And then lastly, uh we have our adopted family event coming up next month and uh Miss Soen wants to be able to start that next week. So we have a good adopted family for our year. Awesome. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Good job guys coming. So next, kind of going off what they have, I'd like to welcome the fall WA academics award winners to our meeting tonight. I believe Mr. Parish is uh gonna help out with this? Yeah. Um, thank you for having us. We had a really big turnout again this fall. So, I want to thank the board for all the opportunities you provide our our student athletes to participate in. Uh, this fall, we had six teams that earned the WIA um
007academic award and the coaches and some of the kids from most of those teams are here tonight and I'll let them come up and talk. I'm starting with cheer um and Karen Prito. So, hello there. Um I apologize for the extra noise you're probably not used to. Like Mr. P said, my name is Karen Pto and I'm the cheer coach. This will be my going into my fifth year and I have some of the athletes here that will tell you how our fall season went. I'm Christopher. I'm Neil P. I'm Ramirez. Okay. So, we had our cheer triyouts at the end of May and we went on with the camp and then throughout the school year, well, throughout the fall, we've had a good season. I would say that one hour preparing for kind of
008going off of that, we've had um like I said, we were able to go to camp this summer and really build the foundations for our team. We have 10 great athletes currently on the team and we are getting for competition season. This will be our second year going into that. And last year was a big learning curve for all of us. And so we're hoping to take everything we learned last year and then represent Grand View well this year again. So thank you for that opportunity. Thank you. All right. Next we have uh our cross country teams. Uh boys and girls both earn the distinguished award here. Good evening. Um, cross country is uh we started in June, so it's it's a long season and we go through straight through get a little bit of
009break before school starts there and I noticed as soon as I wasn't around they just scattered. It's kind of a blast. I've got a few guys. I've got Brendan Kramer, uh, Levi Anderson, Deon Gyos, and and Mr. Luis over here, Alex. and u uh they were all uh on varsity one time or another. It's we we made a goal to get our guys to run tight together, run a pack instead of spread out so we could score better and they did that. So went back and forth as to what varsity we had a different varsity at the beginning than we had at the end. Change of hands. So it was it was really tough. We had some uh we made several goals to finish the team healthy. We we did that. Most everybody that got
010hurt got hit got hurt outside cross country doing something with LA not to but but so we lost a few there but um uh I think we had a a great season. Uh we made some we wanted to win more than we wanted to win anything. Uh it didn't happen this year and we'll take credit we'll take that and build on that. We have a very tough uh tough league. We found out with Ellensburg finishing third at state and at CA finishing 14th and uh there we have some fast runners in this league that we the Seawwack and when Spokane come down to glue with us in our our district race they found that out that we were really tough. So um we we try to shut them out. We didn't do that. But but
011we've got some really tough runners and they can tell you about how their season went, but um it was it was a challenge at times. Uh and uh we're we're out on the roads and we're going to present a plan to you sooner or later here to uh get us a a running area of our own with the new property and stuff like that, but that's for another time because we really need that. We're out on the roads and it's uh we have to be really careful about traffic. Uh we try to stick we got to worry about dogs. We got to worry about everything, but we just have to have do that to get the mileage in. So it's it's tough out there and the guys really really were responsible with that. So uh
012they all accomplished so much. We got PRs almost every race, which is a personal record or season records. Every time we we set out on something, we we set records, a lot more records this year than ever. Um, I'm gonna let Brendan tell you about his race, but he's his races and his accomplishments, but uh, he's he's a very mildmannered young man. And, uh, he is so inclusive and helpful with every all the kids from this high up to up to older runners. So, he is very much an ambassador for our sport. And, uh, he broke the three mile record. That's that's been there for a few years. and later in the season broke the 5K which was which is 3.1 mile record but spanned over 20 years. So and plus ran the fastest time
013in state that we've ever run with for a Grammy runner. So he has cemented himself as the best runner in Grammyy's history. So I'll let Brendon tell you about his season a little bit and then Levi Deon and Alex. Hi Bernie Kramer. Um, but the season went really well as uh as my season and everyone else's season. As a team, we really haven't been the best runners that we've had in history since probably my dad ran, but this year was probably way better than I could probably ever recall. We had some really good runners. Um, like coach was saying, we stuck it. We like had a pack. So it was me all the way up there and then we had our guys up there scoring us some points. So it was really nice to have
014that this year and not to have just us all scattered and was just get random points. But um I really feel like districts was a bit of a challenge coming off of an injury and then just going out and running it to see what I could do and kind of surprised myself and took fourth in the SEWAC and it was it was a pretty cool I always that course is such a nice course and they definitely have built it up to be a good course for our districts but having Spokane there wasn't really a challenge except for one guy but it's nice to always have different competition ition at races just to have the other guys and even me to have competition. Um, and then state was probably one of the best races I've ever
015had. Um, it's it's really different from any other sport because um, from 2B to 4A, everyone's there. It's not like track where it's 2A, 3A, 4A, it's everyone. So there's about over 60 to maybe 100 teams there racing to get placement. And I was pretty surprised because they put me at 44th and was saying no one was saying I was wasn't going to do good. But I was kind of doubting on myself and saying um maybe I couldn't run this good or something, but it proved to be wrong and I ran a pretty fast time. It's pretty crazy what you could do with all the hard work we put on during the summer and then we just take it on to the season. But I'll let Levi Anderson tell you some stuff. I don't I
016don't know what to say, but we had a great summer. Um, we did a summer and then I thought we we all showed up. Last summer we were we were not there, but this time we were there and we didn't lose anybody. We have a kind of a young team. So, we started um freshman last year and this year we just kicked it up and our arrival from um you know 8th grade they all picked it up too. So, I don't know. I thought we went into fall doing really good and then we just started improving from there. Well, hello. My name is Deon Gos. Um, I can't really say much, but I think it was a good season. There were probably some times we had bad races, but I feel like we improved off
017of those. My name's Alexander Ruiz. Um, we had a really good season. Um, I think I surprised myself because um, last year compared to this year I did really well. Um, both 20 in three mile and then um, we had I'm the oldest in the in the varsity. I'm a senior and they're freshman and sophomore. Yeah, I think we had a really good season. I'm happy that I got to spend my season and have fun with the team. All right. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you guys. All right. Thank you. Coach Adrien Ralph and girls soccer. They had a 3.75 GPA, which is really, really good job. It's a Thank you for having us today. It's a privilege to be here. Um could ask more from the question staff 3.74. Um just you know a lot of
018these players have classes you know college classes and Rena start as well um but I'm very pleased with them all the team um reason why I chose some of these players here is um my seniors very young team Amy Morales Nette Kim and Jelle um I'm very pleased what they did all season um 12 years I've been coach for 12 years this is probably the best star we ever had. Um went six, seven games undefeated. Um we had a couple of injuries through the season. Um a lot of close games, but overall I'm very pleased with the what the group did this season. My name is Morales. Um I'm a senior. It's my dad. I just wanted to bring that out. I feel like overall even just like the environment of lean in soccer. Um
019like just the program itself is just very inclusive, welcoming. I feel like even every year I just know that we all have a goal and we all like have a different goal and then we all just try to push each other and I feel like um everyone there like sisters and I just feel like we had an overall I just it it was a overall really good season. It's just very young team. A lot of freshman, sophomores like once again and yeah, I just I just want to bring down. Um I feel like the season was it was a mix of like a good season and a bad season, but I really I really do see this team like after we're gone, I feel like I really do see this team going far. And you
020know, I learned I learned a lot from the younger, you know, the the younger classmates and, you know, they taught me how to be a captain. So, yeah. Hi, my name is Lynette Grimaldo and I just want to say that we just had a really good season overall. We didn't really finish like how we wanted to, but I just love this team and I had um so much fun these past four years, too. But I feel like this season it was just like we all were together. Even though they're younger than us, we all come together as a family. I really enjoyed that. Thank you. Awesome. Good job. Thanks. All right, Coach Katie Ranch and this up Hello, I'm Katie Ryan Schmidt. Um, I have been coaching for the past four years. The This is
021my first year as head coach. Um, but I've been working with these girls since my first year here. So, I'm going to have them introduce themselves and their age and position they play. My name's Lindsay Fadra. I'm a junior and I play left center. Um, I'm Aliyah Hernandez. I'm a senior and I'm a pitcher. Um, hi, my name is Brianna Vera. Um, I am a sophomore and my position is short stop. Hi, my name is Brena Snider. I'm a senior and my position is right center. Um, I'm Marley Spaj. I'm a senior and I was the third baseman. Um, so our GPA was a 3.48 and that's awesome. One thing that I incorporated this year was they had to earn their way into the weight room. So, if they had a 2.7 or higher in
022all their classes, they could work out. Um, I got lucky though because even when they had that 2.7, they're like, "I have this project coming up. Can I just work on that and not work out?" I was like, "Yeah, academics comes before everything else." So, yes, put in the work. And I was very proud of them for making those decisions. Um, we had 15 girls try out. Um, we almost made it to districts. We made it nine innings with Walaw Wala. And those of you who don't know, we typically go to seven innings. And so that's kind of a big deal. We're tied up in the extra innings, which is awesome. Um, as it being my first year being a head coach, I couldn't have asked for a better team. They are great girls, great
023attitudes, and they worked hard. So, thanks. Student athlete thing is pretty cool. That's the GPA thing is really impressive. So, with all of you also fantastic. Academic state champs. Thank you. We're the only 2A school in the area that has little bit softball and these girls go and compete against the bigger 4A. Oh, wow. It's harder to place in the distance, right? Thank you. And volleyball. Danielle. Hey there. I'm Danielle Palasios. I'm the uh varsity coach and this is my second year coaching them. Uh this is Amaya. Uh this is Maya. She's one of our um seniors and one of our captains um this year. So overall um we had a pretty decent year. Um so we I think finished at seven and nine. Um this year we went to districts, we lost to East
024Valley and a loser out. We went to five volleyball three out of five. Went to five for that. Um but the big thing I stressed with these girls and I had a couple of seniors this year is that I just wanted them to go out and always be proud of their performance at the end of the night. whether we won, whether we lost, whatever happened, as long as you said, "Hey, I gave it my all." Um, that was really my big thing I stressed for them. And um because it kind of seemed like before they would like give up all the time and that drove me bonkers. And so um this year for the most part, majority of their games they were fighters. And um we did do some cool stuff this year. Um, we
025beat Afredo, who we hadn't beaten in like a decade. Um, so that was cool. Took a set off off CILA. That forever will be in my game that I'm like, man, we should have won that match. And they just they were scrappy. A lot of coaches um would come up after me like, man, it's hard to get the ball down over there on your side of the court. And that's just because they were hustlers and scrappers and um they worked hard and that's really all I wanted them to do. and and we would see results on the court for that. So, they had a good year this year. Maya, say you think um I feel like personally and for the team, we did a lot better than like what we thought we would have done.
026Like last year, we didn't really didn't win any game. Um and I feel like people um underestimated us like fans and other schools. So, when we showed out, I think it surprised everyone um including themselves sometimes. Yeah. And I think personally for me, I had a really good season. Um, but the team especially, like we had a really good season. We won games that we didn't think we were going to win and it felt good. Yeah. But yeah, so I'm excited and sad to miss out on some of my seniors leaving, but excited for next year. And um, yeah, we just had a good core of girls. They always just wanted to play. It was always like, "One more bucket of balls. Let's not go yet." And it's, you know, like guys, look, there's people
027coming in. Look, we can't go. And so, yeah, really good that you're happy with all that. And as far as like stuff in the summer, we did kids camp and things like that. We always do a kids camp and we've had good turnout with that and stuff. So, that's it. That's it for us. Awesome. Thank you. All right. And girls swim couldn't be here, but they also from the academic board. That's everybody. That's great. Thank you. Thank you. Awesome. Okay. [Music] Okay. Mr. Dr. Darling, um, you get to give us your report now. Yeah. I made everybody comment. All righty. So, what's that? No public comment. We said that already and we didn't have any. We missed it. Okay. Number five. I did say that, right? Number five. Number five. Yeah, I asked. I got
028the engine. Jean told me no. It's all I can go by. All righty. So, we've had a quite a quite an event the last couple of weeks. Um, we, you know, as the conference sessions at the middle school, elementary schools don't quite line up with high school because trimester. So the high school in the days has students come up and tutoring and and getting caught up and stuff and so they offer pizza and kids show up and I haven't yet received the number of how many students show up but they had a pretty good turnout during those days even though it was optional for students to show up and get some work done. Um we had some good attendance with our coffee the super starting to get some roies but we have we have some
029someone show up every time and they bring in new people and they want to show up because they just want to hear the conversations that are happening and it's their two cents. Some of them don't even have students in our school district anymore. Um, but they still want to show up and have participated. So, we had one mom show up and uh she has a three-year-old who goes to Proer four days a week, no Pasco four days a week to get ASL services. So, he's on a bus almost an hour and a half a two hours every day getting ASL services. Jose and I have been in contact with the ESD 105 to find out if there are other districts in our region who have similar services to maybe we can do something more localized
030for these little for these littles that need ASL services. Um so they don't have to travel all the way to Pasco or or Yakama. So we're find out some more information about that. And we had no idea that this little one was going there because he's not on our radar yet. But now he can be because we're going to be serving him when he gets old enough and so it's good for us. We had um a a mom and a daughter show up and uh just to first off to thank us about the providing they're taking they were taking AM transportation to YV Tech and she had been driving herself because we don't have AM buses for Yv Tech only PM. So Chris and Jean were able to get them on a route out of
031Sunnyside so they just make it to Sunnyside and they ride the bus. Saves a lot of transportation and time. And this same little student uh she was trying to figure out how to get some credits. And she also wanted us to not have to charge because she get has to pay five bucks every time she loses her name tag. and she said she's up to 50 or $60 and we said, "Well, this is a good lesson for you to stop losing them." And it's a good lesson for mom. Don't pay for her name tags. Make her pay for her own name tag. Mom said, "Yes, she's working on a little season her name tags." And so, but we talked to the counselors. The counselors have a plan to help her get her caught up on
032her credits and such. And so, it was it was a really good uh good time. We had a couple people show up, ask like what happened with the outages and how could students access content when we had no internet. And Jose explained how we still have books, you know, believe it or not. And we had a lot of people doing some old school teaching, you know, some and a lot more we had a lot more conversations during these during some of the outage than than we had previously. And some of the teachers are still using those same strategies, having high school kids come to the center and just read aloud in some books and stuff. And so chalkboards back up. Yeah, chalkboards back up. Someone's outside the chalkboard. Yeah. And then we had a mom
033show up talk about her students some with special needs students with special needs for her specific students. So Jose followed up with her afterwards and set up a time to talk with her about some of that. So we still continuing to have every time we show up, we talk about something we've never talked about before. And so it's been really good. And then as the as the ASB shared, they did a great job with their Veterans Day assembly, Veterans Day breakfast. We had a good turnout for that. And then uh I wasn't part of this, but Jose was and Brad was. We had actually I think Brad was out too. Yeah, he was out. So Jose was in charge. We had our tabletop emergency exercise. Gene was there with um Yakama County, YSO, city of
034Grand View PD, Grand View PD, Grand View FD, like a whole bunch of different programs. And I heard nothing but amazing things. And one of the biggest compliments we got was from one of our counselors. She said, "As a parent, I am Oh, no, it was from Gretchen. Gretchen said, "If I were a parent in the district, I'd be so impressed at what Yakma School District, I mean, Grania school district has in place and these partnerships the Yakma County as far as our safety management stuff." So we had a it was from top to bottom was really good exercise. So kudos to directing director Martin for the work that he and his crew were doing around that. And our next step will be taking it from a tabletop scenario to actually doing a real life
035scenario where we have people roll wearing rolls and um we have cops show up and we do the whole the whole emergency scenario. So that'll happen one of during the summer time. Then upcoming events on the 19th we have uh another round of the student advisory council. Dam was able to make a part of that last time and our students are actively um contacting schools and contacting groups to how to figure out their work to spread the word around ending hate speech in the district. Um as you know the WA annual conference general assembly and so um Gan printed off kind of a schedule for you but that morning the doors open to 8:45 the general session is at 9:30 to 11:45 and that's when they're going to announce the board of the year awards
036during that session. So there's a keynote speaker, there's a awards and all all that kind of happens that same chunk that morning. So that'll kind of that'll make us need to leave earlier those going up. And then Heather, Dan, Heather, Chuck, me and Crystal, and Jasmine are presenting that same day at 3:15 if you want to come heckle us at the WASA conference. And then on December 4th, we we wrote few hundred invitations and mailed them out to every business partner, faith-based organization, theater organization to come and have breakfast with us, listen to some Aiachi music. Um, learn about our strategic plan. Then we're ask them to adopt one of our goals as our own. So we have big we have window cleaning that they're going to put on their windows, say we support goal
037number five in English and in Spanish and whatever goal they choose. And I I anticipate it being a really good turnout. A lot of a lot we're hearing a lot of buzz in the community about it. Even at our um copy of the soup that was brought up a couple different times, 144 invites. Yeah, we got one. Yeah. And then we have round seven and eight. Round seven and eight of our student centered coaching board meeting on the 25th and then no school for the Thanksgiving week, the 27th 29th. Awesome. That's my board report. So is this on number 10 maybe where we talk about a couple things? I don't have anything there, but it's here. Members of the board update. So, at this point, I'd like to talk about going up on the 22nd.
038Um, I think everybody said they were in favor of going. I'm going to drive and anybody can ride with me that they want to. Uh Rob's driving up because he's taking a couple students, but Rob wasn't going to leave till later, but I really think Rob needs to be there for the entire thing like the rest of us are going to be since we wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Rob. So, I've kind of talked to him and he's in favor of doing that and the students he was taking up are willing to leave earlier, but we need to be there by 9:30. So, um 6. We're gonna have to leave about sixish. Um Rob is taking a vehicle up and uh but needs to have another adult ride with them because he's taking
039two students. We were going to go later on the day so Erin was going to go with me. So that way we still had two two adults, two kiddos. Um but since she won't be able to make because we're going to leave earlier, uh who would want you want to ride up with me and the two ladies? That's just we didn't find out. So, what I kind of thought we'd do is if you guys want to ride, we could maybe meet just right here at six o'clock on the 22nd and then whoever wants to ride with me and whoever wants to jump in with uh Garling, um we can take off from there, but we are just so you know, I'm going to stay for the thing and stay for the 3:00 and then come
040home. So, if somebody didn't want to stay for the 3:00, I just want you to know that up front. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Tell me you don't want to stay if you So I I guess if you want to ride up, show up here at six o'clock on the 22nd and there'll be two vehicles going up that you can ride in, but you'll probably be back about 7 or 7:30ish time frame, I would assume. Do we need to go to the register's desk and get badges? Yeah, they'll have badges ready for you with your names on them. They'll also have reserve seating up front for us. So, so even though gate the doors open at 8:45, if we scroll a little bit late, we'll still have a place to sit. It'll be It crowds pretty
041quickly though. You as you remember. Yeah. The the award is later. So, if you weren't right in there at 9:30. Yeah. It'll probably be about 10 or 10:15 when I can see the agenda. Yeah. So, I'll give you time to get there, go through the booth, get some free swag, and then go in there. H. So anyway, I'll ride up with somebody for sure. Yeah. Well, I think let's just show up here and then we can determine who's going to ride where and we'll all get in some vehicle and we'll go from there. So, um anyway, that was from the the member of the board update part of the deal. Oh, and I do this is kind of from the board portion still, right? So, I I did one thing if you guys ever do
042get a chance to go up to the deal with the students, uh, one thing that absolutely amazed me was there was some middle schoolers in there and they got very involved, which I was pretty excited about. Um, but some of the kids that, and this sounds terrible, but some of the kids you would look at that look like they don't like they're very quiet or don't, they were all very very vocal, very a lot of input. uh they broke up into little groups and some would take care of staff, one was the community, one was students, one was admin admin and they were doing doing plans on how do they get the word out to those specific groups and they were all very um detailed talking about having uh things at night and how do
043we get people to show up and uh you know do we offer it with other things to be able to get do we do little bracelets that that say certain things on them? uh how do they raise money to do that? They were a lot of neat stuff. I was pretty impressed. So I walked around and sat in each of the groups for a period of time and it was actually even good because there was a a group in there that started asking me questions. So how does the board work? What what is goes on with the board all this stuff. So it was really pretty cool. So and if you guys ever get a chance to go see that, it was pretty neat to go see. And and they're leading it themselves. I mean,
044Alisa and I are there kind of helping facilitate a little bit, but we're very hands off. Just answer questions as they come up. They're cool. They're really on on the ball. When's the next one? On the 19th 19th at 7:45 7:30 7:45 up in the library. GS GHS. So, members of or member reports from the board. Just wanted to share I did meet um or join Rob and Brad at the meeting. Yeah. just curious how that went. And there was actually a lot of good information. It was a lot to take in in one session. Um but basically they were talking about three initiatives that they're or three things that are leading to the budget deficits with a lot of school districts which we know it's the decrease in enrollments, the increase in the operations
045cost, and then of course um just the the formula, the funding formula. So those are things that are definitely on the radar. Um, what was interesting though is to see the three different presenters because there was somebody from OSPI, there was somebody who was from UDub representing the research that they've done and they were able to share different perspective outside of you know the education resource and then I can't remember the other gentleman Dan Steel from WASA Dan Steel from WASA and so again a different uh viewpoint right on the funding sources but anyhow um long story short they were very concerned about what was going to happening with uh the funding as it was tied to was it the green I can't remember the initiative names right now anyways one of them yeah one
046of those and then um that would be impacting to our funding source I think both of those ended up getting passed and they were okay um but anyways um a lot of information about the budgets that was very beneficial I'm not doing it justice but I think Brad and Rob could probably share with us as we next two next year's planning um what's important to us. Some of it we already know is on our radar, but it's really it's about the funding and trying to figure that part out. And it wasn't for people who were just off the street once to go to a meeting. It was it was pretty technical, had a lot of deep deep information. So that you all would probably understand it because Brad has you well prepared and understanding budgets,
047but for the layman it was pretty it was pretty much on the ground. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of good information though. I can forward you the slides that we got if you're interested. Yeah, they even have research about how the funding formula is not equitable around um a lot of our communities who are serving more of the districts in poverty I guess um and you know about students of color and that was something that I never had been exposed to. So even getting that research and and seeing how that impacts the students we're serving and when we talk about equity and resources, you know, can we afford this? There's some of the research that says why we're not able to. So anyway, yeah, that's good. I forgot about that thing. And we got to be
048part of the very first meeting in the new Davis auditorium. That was pretty nice. Nice. Was nice. Awesome. So anyway, we're going to slide on down to because we tabled this portion of it. We get right to Josie early. We've been here for two hours. Anyway, we're going to at this time we're going to
