evening um from three groups and we'll roll into them. the special need. We can roll into the right connection. Hi everyone.
I brought the party. start this over here. Smart move delegation. your eyes. I got two for no reason. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hello board
members. Um I brought today the ICDC competition team and I want them to share a little bit of their experience at the competition with you and what they took away from that. So Lexi if you'd like to start. Hi I'm Lesie Shannon Kelsey deputy secretary. I'm
Isabella Kever. I'm the Kelsey deputy treasurer. We participated in the DECA thrive academy at LCDC. In order to earn the seats, we have to accomplish specific milestones for for promotion and community service campaigns with our DECA chapter. This included multiple
school and community outreach activities, alumni events, and committed member participation in a major community service project. This campaign took nearly four months to accomplish, but earned our chapters two seats in the Thrive Leadership Academy. Developing
leaders is at the core of the executive experience. In our Thrive Academy, you're able to network with other high performing chapters to de develop a toolbox of essential marketing and business skills. We learned strategies to help us become effective communicators and critical thinkers. We
interacted with CEOs and professionals from many diverse backgrounds who shared their interest and wisdom with us. Pride really helped me to understand my own personal leadership style. I'm feel I'm becoming a better collaborator and I understand how to make our veteran members feel understood
and appreciated. Start talking to understand the impact our chapter has made by creating meaningful projects for our members and our community. I look forward to planning exciting chapter events for next year. Next, you'll hear from our L Academy.
Hi, I'm Leah Dubsy and my name is Emma Hart and I'm the community service chairperson on the action team and and I'm a part of the Deli Ducka community service committee and we also participated in the Thrive Academy with them but we were
just in like a separate area from them and to get to ICDC we did the New Jersey Community Service Project to raise money for the American Cancer Society. We raised over $1,000 and we did it through fundraisers like a raffle basket. We did a miracle minute and a
staff juice day. What we did during this conference conference is we did team building activities with people from all over the world. We learned really valuable skills on how to build our chapter and we plan to use these skills to make us definitely even stronger. Something I gained a lot from this was
experience and life skills that I couldn't learn from just a basic classroom. Something I took away from the academy when the conference was how it I feel like it really built build my confidence. When I first went to the conference, I didn't realize how big it was going to be and how there's going to be people from like all over the whole
entire world. And I think that it really opened my eyes to realize like how much opportunities out there in the world. Overall, we're so thankful for this opportunity and experience because it benefited us as individuals and together as a DEA chapter.
Thank you very much. Hi, my name is Jordan Bachn. I'm part of the Dela action team. Um, and I'm on the pharmacy committee. I'm Mary Batista Perez and I'm just a Deli DA member and to get to ICBC, we competed in the um project
management series um and we had a financial literacy project. So, basically to go on the FASA um topic with FASA application um and to do this we kind of had a meeting with Miss Melissa Bowski at the high school. Um she gave us some information on FAFSA and like all the benefits and like how
to apply for it. And then after this then we did go to a meeting at the high school that they had with parents and students. And this is just to like give them more information on FASA and like how to apply the process. And then also we did also want to create um aformational video so people are able to
like for more for students um just like a set easy based um the simple process of pass and um with this it was just um nice as especially as sophomores um taking on this topic. It was a huge
topic for us mainly because it's more for like seniors as they go off to college. FASA um helps them with financial aid. Um and not everyone knows that it's like a simple easy process and there's a lot of money being left on the table that students can take for higher
education. So taking this to uh an unique level at SBC nationals with everyone from many different uh states, countries, it was just a very nice experience to take on as sophomores and we hope that we can do this again next year. Um attending DECA's international
career development conference 2025 was a great valuable and eye opening experience. Um it wasn't just competition, it was ways that we could grow professionally and personally. Professionally, we were able to grow in many different ways. If it was just presenting to our judge or answering on
the spot questions, we had to reply and think very fast and speak clearly and lead confidently. These were skills that we could use at any moment in our life, not just in DECA. Personally, I grew in ways I didn't expect. I stepped out of my comfort zone with public speaking and
presentation. Um, I'm not a really big public speaker or a presenter, but doing DECA and being able to compete in in an international level was a great way to step out of my comfort zone. I presented to a judge and met so many other people around across the country and met with
people with unique stories, different backgrounds, and it was a really great way to really just see the opportunities that are out there in the business and marketing world. and it was a great way for me to decide what I wanted to do in the future if business was really the
way I wanted to step into. And now we are going to hear from our SB. Thank you, Naomi. I'm Payton Green, a fourth, a fourth year DECA member. And I'm Janice, a third year DECA member. To get into ICDC, we competed on our school sir
paper. This year was the largest group of competitors from all over the world in the SPE category. To actually be eligible for competition, we had to write a 50-page paper on 10 performance indicators, and earn a gold level certification, which is the highest certification DECA
has. There were two parts to our competition at ICBC Academy and the presentation. In the academy, we got to talk to business professionals. One thing that I learned from them is the importance of connecting with the community. And with me being a junior,
we plan on bringing it back and using it in our store next year. Our presentation was on market planning. We use market planning all the time in the store. As an example, we use market planning anytime sales drop to see how
popular product it is and why that drop was made. I plan on taking over my dad's business out of high school. So, this has helped me prepare and prep for my future. Does your dad know that yet?
He does. He's got a hospital take over. Okay. Well, I want to take a few moments just to say thank you very much for always supporting the DECA program. For over 20 years, we have made it to the international competition level. And it isn't without sweat equity. Um, I do
want to say that you're opening doors for these young women and all of the DECA members and you're changing the face of leadership by doing that, but they also know what hard work it was to get there. Not only just me cracking the whip on them in the classroom, but they
had to go out and earn it. And ladies, if you would turn around, I'd like to show them what networking and action really looks like. On the back of their shirts are all the sponsors that they went and solicited. you can turn back around. By doing that and with your
support, they were able to pay for the trip and no parent had to pay one penny out of their pocket. So, that to me was the biggest accomplishment. That's my goal every year is to get this done and to get it done without any financial burden. So, thank you for your support
on that. I'm going to say thank you to you, Eileen, because nobody puts more time and effort into a program than you do um you know, with your program. And you girls are so impressive and you talk about just the tenacity and the grit. I can remember last year Payton when I
kept forgetting about the jeans day jeans day. Yesterday jeans day. So uh it's impressive. Thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I just I I you know I always talk too much but I complimented that. I had a niece who graduated from the program um
just a few years ago uh and was very very actively involved in method. That was her focus. Went off to Ryder University, graduated with a marketing degree. Now she works for big pharma. Travels all over the world doing conferences and uh working for
pharmaceutical companies all across the country as a result of no question about the DECA experience. Awesome. Speaking of accomplishments, next we're going to bring up the fourtime state champion high school
wrestling. Hey, they come in herds apparently, right? So, I just want to thank them um you know for for coming out here tonight and for all the work that they have done. And it's funny because I was talking to Ken about this and I said, I actually didn't tell him this. When I interviewed to be a teacher here, Paul
was the principal and I remember we were just having a conversation at the end and he's like, "Well, you went to Cam the Catholic. What did you know about Dulceian?" And I said, "Your wrestling team is really good, right?" And and that still stands true. So if you look at their stats, besides being backto back to backto back state champions,
they have won 14 I had to write it down because there's so many 14 consecutive sectional titles. We this year we had nine district champions, one regional champion. Jamar Dixon is now the all-time uh win wrestling match winner with 156
wins. He finished second in the states. Um a bunch of them had to go. They're going to be added to the uh to the to the uh the 100 wins the what's that called the board up there. So you have Riley Boost with 107, Xavier Stokes with
107, Sal Marquees who's only a junior with over 100 in counting and also placed third in states this year and Gage Summers with 134. So congratulations to all of you and we tell them this. We look to them to be the leaders in our building and and they do. Okay? They help everyone else in the
school. They help the school culture. Um and that comes from them, their coaches, um Mr. Shout and and our and our school as a whole. So, I'll turn over to Ken. And uh just real quick to add on with the coaching staff that we have here, trying to look at both parts of the
room. Um starting with the head coach, Mr. Tom Maxwell. If anybody knows Tom Maxwell, uh he loves attention. He loves talking to the media. He loves being the face of the organization. This was not on his bingo
card to be the head coach with this team. And Tom Maxwell not only stepped up when we needed it to, uh, he he knocked it out of the park. He was a a dream coach to work with. And obviously results are uh what they were. They speak for themselves. But I don't even need to
bring Tom up here to say this. Um, I've heard him say a million times. He cannot do it without his staff. And our staff is an army. It's actually kind of a little bit of a joke in South Jersey when we roll in and we have 10
coaches. And you know, I I I wouldn't even, you know, we got Kirk back there who who came in and he's it's like he's been one of us from day one. Um Frank, CJ, Dylan,
the whole Maxwell family, right? George, uh Mason, Sal, Marquette Senior helping out. Steve Isles is still even jumping in there. Dylan Dubzansky. Uh we roll in and people kind of give us side eyes like are you guys kidding really? Like you're rubbing it in our face. Every
single one of those coaches does a job. They work with a specific group. Uh they're there for the kids. It's not money. Most of them are not getting paid. They are here every single day. They work with our programs uh to keep this train moving. And we could not
do it without our coaching staff. It's it's an unbelievable group. So, I I wanted to say that um and to our young men standing right here, as Mrs. D Pasqual said, the winds are great. And we had a breakfast and I tried to explain to the guys here that sometimes
we take things for granted here at Deli, right? Sometimes we're so good at things, we take it a little bit for granted. And I wanted them to stop and I wanted them to realize what an accomplishment this was. This is a storyried program and to be one of, if
not the best teams in four years in this program is an amazing accomplishment. I hope we can reflect on that and we can uh we can sit back and we can enjoy that someday. And they truly are leaders in our building. They if I need anything
done, I look at them. No discipline issues. Character. Every single one of these kids has character. There's a whole bunch of hundred wins coming from this group and I'm just uh we're extremely proud of everybody. Thank you so much for being here and showing up the way you did. Appreciate it.
Any questions? How much weight do they gain so far? Oh, probably a lot. Probably a lot of weight. Next up, we'll bring you and Sarah baseball. Remember, we had those Sarah, you
wrestle. I think you go first. Hi, this is Sarah Jones and this is Kenolinsky to talk about some things that have been going on with the Interact Club. Hi, I'm the co-advisor. I'm the advisor and we brought some of our students here today to really talk to you about all the wonderful things that they've been doing this year since
the pandemic. It's been hard trying to get us to do some more events, some more fundraisers, and this has been our busiest year yet. So, I brought some of our students here to talk to you about what they've been doing in the community. So, hello everyone. Today we are here to talk about the importance of having Interact Club at Deli Regional
High School and its impact on the community and stakeholders. I am London Rodriguez. I have been a part of Interact Club for about 3 years now. Interact Club gives us a chance to make a real difference in our community. By getting involved in service projects, we learn leadership skills while also
connecting with others with different backgrounds and fostering understanding and friendships while also learning the needs of others. I definitely think Interact Club really helped me to understand like taking care of your people. Um, Deli is a community with
sports and academics and art and interact club allows everyone in this community to be able to create that for the younger generations. And by us going into the middle school, going into maybe the younger um the younger schools will
allow us to create them and make us make them more of like a part of the Deli community that we all talk about and praise about. I'm Blaze Leonardo. I've been involved in Interact for about 2 years now. And I think through Interact, I've learned a lot of valuable lessons
um through our experiences. And I've built um communication skills, problem solving skills, and leadership skills. And I think all those are really valuable for my future. I'm Leah Dempsey and ultimately Innovative and engage with others around
the community. By working together to create positive change, we develop a sense of purpose as well as a lifelong commitment to service. Not only does this benefit the community, but it also shapes us into responsible, compassionate leaders of the future.
I'm Dante and I think interact is just very important to have in the community mainly because it helps like reach out to people and to give people like more hope and more of like
an impact. And it shows us that like we're a part of the community, not not only as a school, but just as to help out like people. Like on Thanksgiving,
it showed me that how much of an impact like that we really had with helping out the homeless. And thank you all for your support. I'm Matthew and I'm a seventh grader at the middle school. I wanted to talk
about positive impact the Interact Club has made on younger students like me. For the past seven years, I've helped with the Interact Club's annual Thanksgiving dinner. It's something I look forward to every year, helping serve food, and seeing people smile makes me feel like I'm part of something
meaningful. This year, some Interact students visited our middle school to deliver character lessons and talk about what they do. They were really impressive, confident, kind, and passionate. The social media lesson has helped me understand the dangers of
social media use and how to respond in uncomfortable online situations. They have also shown us how important it is to give back, be positive role models to younger students and advocate for change. Because of them, I'm really excited to join Interact when I get to
high school. I want to keep helping others and be part of the positive and hard work they do. Thank you for supporting the internet giving students like me to look forward to. We can't thank you enough for all your support because without you guys, we wouldn't be able to give back to the community cuz
that's what we're all about. We're about giving back to the community. As somebody who lives in this town myself and grew up here, it means a lot to me to be able to give back to the town that gave to me growing up. And it's amazing to see some of these students and where they were in 10th grade and and watching them just grow in three short years and
the leadership skills that they have gotten and not just the leadership skills but also the self-confidence that they've gotten from the team building from the Thanksgiving dinner. Uh it it's it's really made them a lot more confident in themselves. So thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you. And last, but certainly not least, we're going to bring up the baseball team to talk about their work recently with the Miracle League. Before we get started, um I just would like to introduce Coach Vince Londino to everybody's new head baseball
coach. Obviously, we have Coach Cortiz, our assistant coach. Um, and they're going to talk in a second about some work they did with the Miracle League on opening day. The reason this is I know Mr. Siola got a little correspondence in this. I got a few emails about this. Um,
a few good points about the team going to that coach Landino said nothing about this. This wasn't something that he was just putting out there to, you know, look good. This is something that he wanted to do. It's nice when we had our interviews and coach Londino talked
about some of the new initiatives that he would like to get involved with and this was one of them. You obviously don't want to step in and do a hundred different things every year, but it's nice to see somebody come in and and follow through on what they say. And when Mr. Siola and I talked about this,
you know, he goes, "It would be nice to bring him to the board meeting." I said, "That that would be great." And a couple days after they did this, Coach Landino won his first baseball game. And then the day of our board meeting, he won his
second baseball game. And I said, "Man, how cool Vince would it be if we could do this right now?" Cuz I told him about I said, "We got to wait till next month, but it would be so cool I could introduce you as undefeated coach Vince Lundino coming up here to talk." 15 games
later, even today with a 21-1 victory over Deford, still undefeated at 17-0, standing in front of you. Um, what was supposed to be a little bit of a rebuilding year, but it's because of, you know, the players and the coaches and they're having a good time and
they're doing it right. And I'll give you the floor to talk about this. Well, now that you jinx me, um, uh, so we've had a lot of success this year so far. Uh, I have a great staff. Coach Cortiz, Christian's been excellent. He's my right-hand man. Um, these two gentlemen right here, they
were our two shining stars the day we went to Miracle League. Uh, they both did an excellent job. We got great reviews. I got texts and emails the second we left asking their names. They wanted them to be recognized right away. They just stepped up. They handled themselves very well. Uh, they were buddies. We were called buddies for the
day. They buddied with the little kids. They ran the bases with them. They interacted with them. Talked a little bit of baseball. Just had fun and laughed. Um, but these two were shining stars, man. They went above and beyond. And I got rave reviews for both of these two young men, two sophomores. This is Luke and this is Milo. Um, both
sophomores, both young kids, but I'll tell you what, they showed up that day and they were wise beyond their years. They they didn't act like sophomores that day, that's for sure. So, they deserve a lot of credit for how they handled them handled themselves, and we got a lot of rave reviews that day from their actions.
What's Miracle League? Miracle League. It's uh it's a special needs baseball program based out of Gloucester County. Each county has one. Gloucester County is over at GCIT at Bankbridge School. Uh they have a turf baseball field behind the school and every year they have an opening day uh where they invite like 10
teams of special needs special needs kids and they invite some teams out to buddy up and help them and kind of just play baseball with them for the day. And we stepped up and volunteered for it. And I and I have to have to share this that in in the correspondence that was
brought to me. They talked about all the kids that were there did a terrific job working with the young people. They said, "Your kids stayed the entire day. Your kids really gave of themselves. Your kids went the extra mile." These were people that I do not know. It's not
like I had a conversation they mentioned to me. They reached out specifically to tell me it's so impressive. It it it really is. and and it's a great representation of who we want our Deli family to be. We can't thank you enough for that. I love the 17 and0 part, too.
This is awesome. Thank you. So, this is I know we have we we have a lot of sport people in here and some baseball people in this room. Uh so, I just want to say, gentlemen, that's what baseball is. That's what baseball's about. I think the four of you know that. So, thank you for doing that for for those young uh
kids over there and thank you for representing Deli. That's what we love to see. Thanks for having us out, guys. I got chills. All right, we're leaving. Motion to adjurnn. Can I have a motion to approve minutes

recent interact presentation that we had at the middle school and this was in regards to mental health. Um in this presentation we discussed stress, ways to identify stress and coping coping mechanisms. Um, a lot of the kids didn't really understand what stress was, but
they were able to express their symptoms of stress. So, we were able to understand that they at least had felt some sort of anxiety or pressures or face some some sort of pressure in school and out of school. And by able to address these things and how they were feeling and giving them sort of
resources and accesses and things to do to help mitigate their symptoms or help their stress completely, I feel like it was beneficial to them. Um, especially coming from me as a senior in high school who sometimes get gets overworked with her stress, it's definitely easier
to start when you're younger and it's first starting to happen and being able to find different ways where you can learn how to cope effectively. Um, another point I wanted to make is that today um, for Black Cultural Week, we had our museum field trip to the African-American Museum of Philadelphia.
Um, I personally love this field trip because each year they're contemporary artists and their um, singer is different. So, you get to experience a different um, person you're learning about and it's definitely an immersive experience as well. It's either a self-guided tour or we have somebody
who's working to guide us and I think it's beneficial to learn more about the history and culture of black Americans in the United States. Um, another thing that's been happening is AP testing. AP testing season has been approaching and this is one of the reasons why Deli1 is
so important to students such as I have no I know that HAP has been tired of me being in her room 24/7 cuz I literally always in there for Dy1 but those that's one of the resources that is definitely needed during this crunch week and I know that not only me but many students
have been taking advantage of that so I think that's a good addition to our school. Um, and then lastly, um, I want to give a shout out to Mr. Dean and Mr. Watkins who are CAD teachers in the school. Um, I officially made my commitment decision for college and I'm
going to Ruckers, New Brunswick for biomedical engineering, and these two classes have definitely prepared me. Um, for instance, in Mr. Watkins class, I learned the basics of Python programming. So, at least I'm aware of different types of programming. and he
also offers JavaScript and um a whole bunch of different AP classes based on programming which is important in um engineering industry. And also for Mr. Dean's class, he teaches I stem Im 1 to Imm 4 and it's a four-year program if you go all the way through. And this has
definitely taught me the basics of engineering, the importance of physics basics, aerodynamics, robotics, and 3D modeling. and now he's having his seniors work on their 3D modeling certification. And I feel like this is going to give me a jump start in college
and be more prepared than some of my other classmates who this is their first time being exposed to this type of material. Um, and for me, I've been working with it all year for the past few years. So, I know what I'm doing. I have a good grasp on it and I will be prepared in college. And in the middle
school, uh, we had a CAD event where we came here and there was presentations given. It was a two-day thing, a two, it had, it was two sessions, so we broke broke it up. It was half the CAD courses and then another half of the CAD courses was demonstrated. And I feel like this
early exposure is also good for kids who might not know what they want to do in their future yet, but at least have the opportunity to look into a different path. if they don't want to pursue higher education, they still have the opportunity to learn. And yeah, that's all I have for you today. So, thank you.
I love it how she says that's all I had. It's great that you always take your checklist. Yes, always. Executive board members report. I have nothing to add to what we all board administrator. Nothing for me tonight. Nothing. Okay. Any old business

Um this round we had actually a lot of really great applicants come through, but we had one very clear winner um who's going to bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our team um and kind of complete us up
