back to the community that's right so yeah so looking forward to seeing all that all right any other rebel reputation all right we'll go on to reports 6.1 the Community Education report all right well maybe I'll just
slide up just a little bit so overall um what's been going on with our community programs are we're wrapping up our uh we just wrapped up our basketball program 3rd through 8th uh at the end of February and now we roll right into J volleyball and that'll go on through um
end of April beginning of May so uh busy there um we have right after this at 5:30 have another meeting regarding as a recap we have a committee of basketball um members and um we're going to do a recap out here tonight at 5:30 so I
might just bug out um after I present unless you have questions um but overall we have been implementing a new software for Community Ed it will allow us to accept registrations for any Community Ed program so that um Britney and Nicole
sat on um Community advisory last year and I know um we've kind of been striving to get a software that allows us to register and pay at the same time um and now we have um Britney and Troy are on it this year and I met with our
advisory council meeting um committee last week and we went over really what AUP will do it is if you get a chance you can go out and look at the Detroit Lakes bidy any of those school districts just check out their Community Ed web
page um when you open up our community ed page you will see just a couple things but then you will have the opportunity to go right into ax which you can pick um register for prechool preschool screenings driver's ed summer
Community Ed we probably have since our last um meeting last week Troy um we probably have about 25 adult virtual classes coming online um after the 18th we go live on the 18th so it's been a lot of implement implementation um but
this will be it could be Social Security planning how to knit different things and it's a lot of virtual instruction um through an organization that we partnered with so that will be rolling out as well but ax is um probably we do
90 minute trainings twice a week um so it's been quite busy with that so we're excited we um open up everything on Friday and we actually start registration on Tuesday March 18th so um like roll in right in yeah you know and
even the um gal who is our trainer said we really don't have a lot of programs that roll out early childhood summer wreck child care all at once but we said we're going to do it on at once um just so that parents get acclimated to what
they can register for um and it will go good for us because we're rolling out um Early Childhood anyway so we we're going to just do it all at once um with that early childhood uh we did do a review of our enrollment from last
year we have four sections of School Readiness in one section of tots um we do um a review at this time for Staffing and right now we have two staff members two teachers that are non-tenured so
we've informed them that at this time until we see numbers um we you know release them from their role for this year um at the end of this year but I'm quite hopeful that we'll get them back and we just have to make sure that we have the numbers um and with that with
our early childhood Staffing that's five teachers five peras and we partner with lake aacy on a lot of our special ed services I I have met um multiple times with Sarah ver EG the lake Agy coordinator and just talking about what
our needs are and um how we can plan for 25 26 now that we've gotten through the first year with Lake aesy um because we do see that students will if you are a student that is on an IEP we can't deny
programming so we really have to provide opportunities for them in the classroom or or lake ay would have to go to a home or a child care or something like that so in visiting with Sarah we are going to allocate right now if say we have a spot of School Readiness we'll allocate
three spots right away for uh special ed students and then the remaining 17 for other gened students if we don't need all those spots we don't need all those SP you know sped spots but we do get new enroles during the year so we just want
to kind of pre-plan um so you know like Sarah was saying you know she's a Tracy we could have a sped student and I shared this with our advisory Council last week is you could bring in a sped student and they need a one-on-one PA they need a teacher and at
any time um you know those dollars could really add up um on what the cost is so overall um with our staffing we hope to have again five teachers five peers and our sped for support um but we also have
to plan for families that cannot afford it um because Minnesota statute we have to make sure that we provide Early Childhood programming for students if we have room so for us at the end of the day when we get all the way down to the
bottom of fund four it really covers all programming which you know um so if there is a need for families that um need that financial support we really just look at where is it coming from out of community at at the bottom line um so
that leads us into rates I did share with Brooke and and Shannon and we went over it in our advisory Council but overall our rates for preschool starting this coming year and in our handbook um I didn't bring one but I I know Brook
shared it out with you is uh we do have um our current rates for preschool are 120 a week and we're looking to go to 130 um um a week and again this is something that I did go over with Shannon um along with our advisory
Council that voted and supported our handbook um and we have had our before school care to keep our number at 190 a week for preschool and before and after
school care our rate for a 34 5y old before school care was lower than K5 which is kind of backwards but we were trying to get to that 190 we're trying to bridge that Gap a little bit so our overall rate for preschool if parents
were to go with um preschool plus before and after school is 190 going to 210 okay um overall when you look at other daycares in the area it's 290 for the same age so overall you know they
have the breakfast the lunch the snack um for that for that 210 um so we're also looking at uh one thing that in talking with Sarah ver EG is we will have a registration fee this year uh for
preschool because we probably had 10 to 12 kids that we have solidified our class list we have assigned our teachers and then some family said I don't know if I'm going to come this year I might hold off I I thought by the end of the summer my son or daughter be a little
bit more mature but I don't think they're ready or other reasons so for us TW to lose lose 10 to 12 kids could be a lot so having that registration fee of $50 per student I think locks them in a little bit so it gives them more a
little bit of maybe I should decide you know where I'm at so um that's where our our rates are coming in at for the weekly wraparound if they only wanted preschool it's 130 a week is the registration fee just a flat fee or does
it deduct from a week like no flat fee flat fee $50 per student or 100 per family this year um we've had a couple sets of triplets so again that would be um say $100 per family yeah are you worri you're not worried that your rates
are too low in comparison with what's you see in the community or any no I would I would say we are lower but I would say I'll go back to say two three years ago when for 15 years preschool was $60 a week and we didn't raise it um
the latest I saw was 2009 and when we upped it in 2022 we hadn't raised it for years um we got to continue to kind of bridge that Gap um not that we need to be as high as everybody else but if we
do not raise each year we giving raises um field trips aren't getting any any cheaper um all of the supp in general are adding up so we need to continue to monitor that and I I shared with Shannon
um a couple weeks ago the demographics on all preschool of about 40 of them from Anoka to theid to Thief River Falls everywhere people of similar size bigger school districts of all of those we were
120 this year and the lowest we saw for full day all day every day was 13275 so we're still lower um but in my head I'm saying okay this is is an increase for families and if we can make
it on this let's continue to kind of gradually bring that up but um we also don't have the overhead that some of the other dat have we're not paying rental for a building we're not paying for additional electricity and I mean yes it will cost a slight more amount for our
district but it we're not talking a whole new insurance plan and facility and all the other overhead that goes to having a stand we don't want to put business cares out of business either so it's also a great feeder right like
we would assume if they are interested in preschool that's a great experience they see in the district yeah and I think just the ability for families to come drop off they can have breakfast they go to school they come back and it's just like a One-Stop shop you know the biggest thing those
two is just make sure that we continue to cover costs I mean we are cheaper or whatever to make sure that we're covering our staffing and all there and I would Troy Echo what Nicole said I think that like a year ago when I presented an intergovernmental Retreat um the biggest difference you know we
presented um the state presented and a home daycare presented right um we don't have to pay those High 20 to $35 a square foot but also this rate also
allows if Shannon decides to say um Early Childhood or Rebel Kids Care um probably more Rebel kids here than anything is we're going to charge you a little bit for custodial costs and things like that you have that ability to do that by then billing Community Ed
and and allocating that back to the general fund that can be used somewhere else so so this is you know like I say uh we voted on it at our advisory but it's just something we do the you know blessing of the board um on this um and
if you don't have any questions on this I might just jump to Rebel Kids Care really quick um I I probably need to back up because I missed the biggest piece on this one Early Childhood just so you know um we are recommending we are an all day program but this year
we're adding half day programs for um families tots Tuesday Thursday 8:15 to 11:15 one section of 20 kids and um Monday Wednesday Friday for School Readiness so last year like I was
telling Shannon and I said when we were conversing more about the needs of students there is some families when you look at Early Childhood we have one section of tots those are three-year-olds some families moms might stay home they might um not want to send
their three-year-old all day every day so with this we're able to meet the needs of all kids um and be able to have one teacher teach two days of tots and three days of school Readiness in the morning um which I know we have some
families I I mean and I actually called her last week Britney Pender she's one of our bus contractors and she they didn't come here last year and they have a couple kids in our district that go to school here and it was because we didn't offer a half day program because she stays home we had about five families
that only wanted half day and with this we would still able to do all full days and the half days so great I think it's a great it's a great idea to offer that I it's something that puts us apart and offers more more opportunities for
residents our district so yeah okay now I'll go on to uh Rebel Kids Care um Rebel Kids Care uh we are you know pretty much similar for you know early childhood um we 210 a week if
they do the wraparound like I said uh registration fees we do have a initial registration fee 50 or 100 um and we do do a supply fee which we aren't increasing those rates that just helps us when we need to buy um supplies
throughout the summer because we have so so many kids um and like I I've said to Shannon and I said our program is the biggest Center in Morehead um based on the number of students that we service um during during the summer in the
school year it's uh it's a need and you know that families want to come um and we very rarely and unless we were you know when you look at the ratios in the three four and five year olds one to 10 uh one staff member to 10 kids we really
don't open up another section until say we get to 25 27 right um but we're pretty much able to meet the needs of most families um I can't even really think of a family off top my head there there could be one but we try to make sure that we can get all the kid kiddos
in um the difference this summer for our reg our fees is with with field trips that will again be included but sunblock um we are we charged eight last year we realized we went through about $2500 in sunblock so we're upping that a couple dollars and we're going to ask that
families this year buy their own shirts because when we go on a field trip we can look at everybody and they're all wearing a yellow shirt whereas um families are say oh I can't find my shirt then we're now we're down another shirt another shirt so we're just trying to it won't cover all of it but it
should cover a fair majority of it um but other than that I mean it's 210 you know similar if they were so will the t-shirts then just stay at the school or families families a lot of them will hang them in their lockers because you wear them and you come right
back um sometimes it's just the same repeat offenders that we truly can put up a reminder don't forget your shirt tomorrow send a message don't forget tomorrow but what is it you you got to tell someone 10 times before it kind of stins in but nit jerseys and over the yeah we
we've thought of that um just due to cost this year we couldn't do it Tori and I were looking into that and we just said we're probably going to do have to do shirts for another year just to kind of get through but that was overall um reub with kids
care and I did share with the um advisory Council last week and I me ask Shannon if you would be supportive of it is we are actually looking at expanding Rebel Kids Care to include evening explorers um you know there is some families that have a choir concert or
they have want to go to church and maybe they don't want to bring the four-year-old along right um we are looking at opening up expanding evening uh and having evening explorers run from 6:00 p.m. to 900 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays to start um with the goal of
if we had 10 spots for 3 to 5y olds and 15 spots for K5 uh it could be they go watch their other child at a baseball game or whatever um but overall it's not all dollars and cents but it for in your role you probably want to know if we did
have those students um it would probably bring in another $660,000 um and I know last week I was talking to Shannon about um we got our new playground equip equipment and we have to put that in we got a grant for um some of that um but I said it's just some of those things that boy we could
probably use this for this or whatever um is that new equipment going in the grassy area yep off to the West it's a smaller um set of equipment where we got um a portion of a grant on that and that will hopefully be in by June 2nd I think it'll actually probably be in in the
next month but when you look at our Playground now if you were to look way up high a fifth grader could go up there but maybe not a three-year-old so we work to get um that um portion of that covered and um so now we want to get
this going so the West like the across the street the grassy area Fen area yep yep we got that um portion of that Grant last fall um but with no we got the equipment now we just need to get it put in um and I think it's probably 177,000
to put it in we weren't going to do put it in uh we were going to put it in but then inv visiting with Chase he says this might take us a little bit so now we're looking had a lot of other things going on is it the best resources to spend there um so would the evening
explorers be only the kids that were already enrolled in Rebel Kids Care or they anybody you'd have other groups anybody anybody and that's only in the summer months no 12 months a year 12 months a year so and I think with with
that it's you know if it grows I mean we have some families that literally push the limit and come rolling in in at 555 and we close at 545 um some of those families do we want kids here that long of a day no but they need to go somewhere if Mom and Dad are working right um and then we would work
with the kitchen to make sure we have box meals um for lunch for for supper so sure but but we just we our goal if it's I'll probably be texting Brooke later but our goal is to get this
online tonight as a social media post um and again tomorrow because with our preview coming out on the 14th families need to know what am I registering for so I ask that you approve
it so I beg you to approve it so the evening explores is that like you can just do it for a day just one day so you just go and you drop off you just um there will be spots in ax we'll have
allocated 15 spots 10 spots they pick it when there's no it says full um and then we so there would be a registration fee for that one specifically got no they would sign up and then once we get their initial paperwork it won't be as complex as with Rebel kids here but you know
fair amount of paperwork to get it get them in the system and then they can just go and sorry what was the rate for that it'll be similar to ours because right now it's we're about $10 an hour in the afternoon so it'll be similar to that any questions for
Tracy great job with all this so thank you very much as a thank you thank you all right I ha to bug but Katie it's your turn Okay 2.2 all
right I think I gave you the hand today follow there but um your computer just shut off just so you know computer's restarting or something good um okay so just some
updates so Hall of Fame trying to get this Hall of Fame up and running I having a difficult time finding people that aren't already involved in every dgf something like whether it's or or Foundation or whatever to be a part of
it so if you know of anyone please email me their names I want to get a group of at least like 10 people um just so we and I don't want it it doesn't have to just be for former dgfs like it's okay to have outside people who can look at
you know a resume and make an educated opinion um so if you know anyone I really would like to do our first Hall of Fame in September over homecoming week next year so and so I'm curious like you when you
talking about Hall of Fame I know we lot of times associate that with sports but is it right okay maybe I haven't talked to you guys about this talked to I may forgot about so yeah I met with like the djf foundation um and we're gonna kind of
partner with them and it will be a Hall of Fame right now we're focusing on activities um just because that's kind of my department and what's heading it up but it doesn't mean it's just athletes it could be supporters like I don't want to really throw out names in
this public thing but it could be people who have supported in other roles super teams coaches score clock book person who did it for 40 years you know stuff like that um so that's kind of what we're focusing on but that's my
vision that doesn't mean that that's how it will always go that's why like knowledgeable or so all of that would fit under that umbrella okay yeah so I can I mean I have like a whole presentation I feel like I've shown it
to so many people so maybe it hasn't you guys and I should have included that um because yeah we have like the application already we have I we as an I have everything already but I want a committee to go through it and like you know there's some like parameters you want to set like do do Blended and
something like before we were combined do we start just from when we're combined F like I don't want to be the one making all those decisions I want a group but then I think we will be kind of like uh committee under the foundation because that gives us some
funding resources and makes sense yes some other things like that part with the school yes yep and then things can go through their board is kind of the thing to approve things so it's not really like the djf foundation but it's
not um so yeah and so when it comes to that we're hoping then over homecoming week we could do like an induction we could do like a dinner um how many people yeah a big kickoff how many people we do I don't know and that's I
kind of want sure some more help so yeah um broadcasting I don't know if you tuned into YouTube lately for Rebels but we do have we did get broadcasting going it was way more difficult than I thought it was going to be but we got it
rolling and they are doing a great job we have a couple students doing it um they're going to college now so I'm hoping they'll they're sticking close though so I'm hoping they'll still come help out um it was just it's great and I think a lot of positive comments with it um we're looking to add more sponsors next
year for huddle obviously we pay broadcasters um we also you know can do it at the class they weren't thr keen on that this year they wanted just to get paid so looking for sponsors help pay for the Cost Plus huddle is just super expensive I mean I don't think people
realize like some schools are starting to like charge for stuff like that like um Park Rapids they have huddle and you had to pay to watch their game which I get because they're not coming to the game now they're watching it online for free so then uh the Youtube app do we
pay for that do we pay to do that or we don't have to yet but like we had to start so huddle had their own um brought they have their own it's called huddle TV um that we had to use at the beginning of the year cuz and YouTube were no longer playing nice together
because they're basically competitors um then they must have gotten a ton of complaints because we were have going to have to pay extra to do this YouTube synchronization must have got a ton of complaints and they said we'll let it go for the rest of this year so I haven't heard what it will be for next year so do we have to use huddle or can we just
use YouTube so the Huddle yeah no that's a good question so how it works I don't know if you've been in the gym there's like a little camera yeah and that's a huddle camera so it's a huddle platform you you have to do use the it follows the ball so like yeah no one's man nobody's moving the camera it will
follow the football it'll follow the basketball or the volleyball and so it does all the work for you um so I'm sure there's probably other things out there but it is right so some some people you know will have a per rather than like a program you could have a person up there
yeah but I'm not going to get a person to do like cquad games and or can I afford to pay someone you know sure and it's not as fun to watch it's a human right it's slower and right so things are missed I would say the worst thing
about how that was for wrestling typically because it's zoomed out and we have the the circle our main circle is white and then they turn the lights off and so it's just it's hard to see for wrestling which is just a total fluke right if it was a black circle it probably would would be more contrast
you can't watch yeah it's difficult what do we t for that now um so the Huddle so for all features we use for huddle it is around I think like 24,000 that's a lot yeah um but now with that so like for football for example
they're required per mshsl guidelines they have to share film so huddle shares all that like everyone shares through huddle like same with basketball their film like before sections you required to share your last game via huddle or via anything but most people use huddle
um before like noon for the next section game to share them back and forth it also tracks all stats so a lot of coaches use it for track tracks track stat tracking yep um and it increased significantly when we added the one there at the track so it was less before
that and then added that one which has been nice for football games and not for track too which will be good they have it for bball um we don't have it for bball because we don't have it at the basball or softball fields but we don't have Wi-Fi oh yeah yeah that's suppose
not that you can't get it but that's a whole another yeah different C oh and then that would be you know more cost too so and baseball and softball ball typically use Game Changer and so then they can do the live things on there is the 24K covered by athletic
cost yeah it's in my budget sure and then so the broadcasting cost is just an additional expense that was yeah it's like it's like a game worker it still comes out of my budget yeah it's like a game worker expense yeah and so when I say sponsors it's not just for the broadcasters it's for huddle in general
sure yeah yeah and we I wanted you know we had a few this year but broadcasting is just I didn't know how it go so I didn't want to hit broadcaster or sponsors hard and then be like sorry it didn't work out yeah exactly exactly so how much do we collect on sponsorship well this year I think it was 7,000 all
okay still right but I mean I would love to be able to cover the whole C so it to be like just cross a wash yep so but I mean and they do the I don't know if you watched but there is like little icons for the businesses that go
throughout the whole thing and then there's a commercial that they run during time outs or halftime or whatever and be videos and so there's a lot you can do with it but yeah sure it would be nice if we knew any sponsors yeah it would be would
be we're not sponsoring any uh okay moving on um coaching so looking at next year head coaches I'm going to have to fill ahead dance Coach position she's having a baby getting married all these things and she just can't commit to time which is totally understandable um dance coaches aren't easy to find so
I have a few former dancers that may be interested um so looking into that kind of a summer issue I guess um a little recap of winter just quickly obviously you know a lot of this but girls basketball we section runner up boys basketball we also lost to Barnesville
Barnesville got us you know both things this year um which stinks but at the same time how cool is it that like it was two H schools in the section Championship I mean a lot of people talk about how competitive the H conference is and it really is so um wrestling you
can see all the people individuals who went there and their um place so that was super exciting we were hoping k would get that first first place which would have been the first time in djf history but he still did great I think second I mean that's awesome so there's a lot of kids in the
state who would wish to be exactly any of these guys they wish to be anyone just to make it so I mean there's only one kid exactly theed him in that whole yeah I mean yeah that's pretty remarkable um spring activities so they
started today except for golf we have a lot of spring athletes which is amazing um you can kind of see the numbers I don't need to go through them baseball we have 46 middle school baseballers that's a lot of kids in middle school
baseball when you have one seventh grade team and one eighth grade team oh wow so we are looking at adding two more teams to make it four team um that sounds easy but you have to remember we have to get a schedule for those teams so you can't just add add a team and be like awesome
we have another team because most teams that we play at one team and lot of them have one one seventh and eighth grade combined team so been working hard on this I have we're luy we live by Fargo so we can play you know a bunch of those Fargo
Morehead teams um but it's definitely a challenge and then you also have to find coaches uh we have one Middle School baseball coach right now so we need three more we have two weeks we're good what's the thought process on if that were to happen building the teams um
honestly haven't even really thought about it sure um I'll probably rely on our head coach Bill iok for a lot of that um I know summer baseball like are you saying like AB that kind of thing I know summer baseball that's what they do
um what we do for Middle School sure volleyball basketball I'm thinking that's where it go but I like I said I would lean on my head code for that yeah um yeah so hoping that can happen it's a good problem to have but it's challenge
it's a challenge yeah yeah considering you have 39 for 9 through 12 yes can you need another baseball field yeah yeah that' be great yeah we have two you know actual baseball fields we have like the little ones for Community ad which is where middle school practice is but sure
yeah it's a challenge but that's all right we like challenges so um softball actually our Middle School softball numbers are higher than they typically are as well so we will doesn't seem very high when you baseball but we' haven't since I've been here been able to do have just a middle
school play Middle School only games so we'll be able to do that this year which will be nice most of the middle schoolers are also on JB um all of them honestly probably are so they'll play JB Varsity games but then we'll schedule some only middle school so they'll just be playing middle schoolers is the 14
included in the 19 or is that no okay no two separate yeah all these the seventh and eighth grade are separate numbers golf is boys golf is another one that's really high we only have two coaches especially when you look at the comparison to girls golf girls golf has two coaches as well yes so we're we're
looking at that I talked with Andrew with church actually I'm GNA wait here tonight because that's a lot um you can usually bring six or seven can't remember for sure Varsity golfers to a meet so that's a lot of other kids got
out a meat to try to coach so um yeah it again another good problem but another issue where we're going to need more coaching 26 additional kids yes and when you have an individual sport that you're not all golfing together you know basketball you're all playing on a court
together right one Court whereas go it's just different can the country club um accommodate 26 golfers at once no and so then that's the other thing we don't want to over it's a country club first of all um and we don't want to over stay our welcome and have a bunch of kids
there so we try to be like they practice out here um they'll be in the gym obviously until they can be outside um we try to stagger it we go Wednesdays Fridays we have a bus that goes over there um when they work on at Varsity meets
Varsity kids or or JB kids or whatever it's breakdown is yeah so typically I think he has some kids go practice at their own courses by their themselves because we can't accommodate all of them yeah there's no way so golf course as well we need a as well yeah I know
there's some LS out there sorry for the naive question but if the varsity team golf team goes to a a meet yep the whole team doesn't go no they only allow so many so many people to go no sometimes more will go it'll be
a jbn varsity meet no they typically don't go watch just interesting it's too much it's too much long yeah well you have to follow one golfer pretty much the whole or just watch one hole and watch everybody at that same hole they're usually leaving school at noon and we don't want kids that
are golf is you know you can't just start at 500m yeah that's usually when you need to be off the course they have League or so it's like G golf is that are those numbers higher than usual or is that kind of consistent where we've been
seven Prett and for boys is that it's going up uh yeah this is more than we've had um but they yeah just been going Andre does a great job with them and gets a lot of kids involved which is what we
want yeah all right uh next year double headers they've been a Hot Topic some people love them some people hate them um we are on a two-year rotation that's how our conference scheduled so we're on the two-year rotation so it'll be on your two of the double headers just in
case you get questions about it they will be again next year and then as a conference we'll re-evaluate if we want to continue it is there any no go any way to up flipflop like boys play first girls play first yeah so we we did one
night like that and the girls hated it yes because the stands had a mass exitus of people um they don't like it they like playing they want to play first oh and I think that's pretty consistent across
the conference um they like playing first so yeah we did try it and yes we can I mean we definitely can but boys like playing second girls like playing first it just kind of works out that's right um that surprises me yeah I know it was sad to see The Stance empty it
just stud left too which was even more yes yeah do do we have any idea of how much we lost Revenue we lost out on because of being a single night compared to oh and the fact our revenue is way more than it's been in past years yeah I
I kind of have that down below but um I don't have I guess the breakdown Troy of like I just have a revenue I didn't look that close as to if it's like just activity fees revenues up or if we're looking at the gate money revenues up um
I think a lot of people though that come to double headers uh from home would have passes and come anyway or have passes and not pay but it's a good question yeah um subsection track that's always a
big one we hosted sections last year this year it's subsections on 522 um and we got 80 new hurdles and a new high jump pit through PCM Grant so that's awesome we don't have them yet but they are very very very needed um asked Shannon if we could buy them and I
got a big kind of laughed at me like no it's not happening but we are able to get a get them through a grant now so super excited about that for is that through the one that Jason McCoy works with the PCN so say most kids don't drink alcohol no that's great but hey
it's great that's yeah yep um going down to budget so this so far this year we've only spent 280,000 of our 632,000 budget which is 44% um we still have to pay winter coaches so that'll come out of there obviously that just got done um and then
our projected Revenue based on last year was 128,000 and we're at 154,000 so we're up with the percentage there but we are up uh so that's good and still have spring ahead um for some revenue and then D is just you know the
district in general just talking about budget and stuff so Shannon kind of asked me to go through some things with the activities budget as these asked of everyone and so we def I definitely have some ideas that will help save money um I listed some there these aren't for sure thing they're all possibilities but
there's definitely ways to increase Revenue decrease some costs how much have we used advertising over the years I mean do we not a lot so that's kind of what I'm trying to do with the Huddle is like it's I say sponsors but advertising yeah yeah I
don't what I don't what I don't personally want I don't want a bunch of ads in our gym I don't want you know like banners all over the place I think looks clean um but yeah I think that's probably yeah
it's classier advertising agency running Oran yeah the rest of the stuff on this is just like my running report it only really has fall stuff just because winter stuff just got over I'm not going to go through it all you can look at it it just kind of lists stuff that happen so
far something that isn't on here knowledgeable been very successful this year so I didn't have that as an update um because they're still going on too but they've been very very successful a big big knowledgeable team we always have to bring extra staff with because we don't have enough
um which is super cool it's awesome yeah and we actually have a huge knowledgeable competition in school and a ton of the kids did it that was fun so yeah summer programming that's the other thing I'm got here trying it's hard we're going to be down to gym all summer so our coaches
all are trying to get their programming in they all apply for their summer waivers and can run stuff but work with Tracy a lot we have lot do we do any summer programing for goal they they do so all the coaches kind of
do their own programs now golf is obviously different because you want to be on the golf cars sure so most of the golfers have their own golf memberships throughout um the area and then like Mr wurch he'll do uh he has like basically like incentive programs or training
programs that they go through and they turn into him and they get little hum he he does oh yeah he does a golf with a rebel day but but it doesn't go through Community Ed because he doesn't charge anything um so it's a smaller group of
people um that are connected to people he's already coaching um but yeah we don't have like a I mean a lot of people go find people to do lessons and things like that but we don't have like a Village Green has a I don't remember what it's called um Village Green Golf
Course in Mor has um a golf um intro to golf maybe um course uh program that's just a few weeks in the Summer where you get to learn it is hard we don't have like program Yeah It's Tricky we don't have golf
so but there is oh also girls day out at the golf um at Sweet shots where they'll partner with um a golf pro and then they'll learn more about golf there too so that's an option I haven't seen any for the boys
