00:58:07.249 --> 00:58:16.893
the years we've had a conversation. whether it's about schedules or programs or supports, it's always back to what is best for students and I think that's what

144
00:59:18.588 --> 00:59:25.862
great bonds with the students they trusted the families trusted. And she knows these relationships between students and families. She get some supports outside of school. Inside of school. She works with

145
00:59:25.862 --> 00:59:36.372
the kids on a middle school, which is up and down, turbula time in life, and the kids are trying to navigate relationships from the first time, she's there to help them. It's really

146
00:59:36.372 --> 00:59:43.980
colors. Leave them in the proper way. She's a natural leader in the department. That's where the teachers they come there, for help kids from the help parents come to pray on their

147
00:59:43.980 --> 00:59:54.456

149
01:00:12.608 --> 01:00:19.449
it says a lot when you enjoy coming to work every day and you wake up The morning and you're, you know, looking forward to your job and helping the kids. We get new set of kids every

150
01:00:19.449 --> 01:00:27.423
three years and you really get to know students and the families and they trust, you you trust them and you form these

151
01:00:27.423 --> 01:00:36.298
relationships that are really special. So you know thank you so much for the energy depositivity brain and support you bring to all of us. It really appreciate it. Here's a

152
01:00:36.298 --> 01:01:03.792
letter from the county executive superintendent from New Jersey. That's the year Bethany. Well, of our others at this is now your third year fourth year, and

153
01:01:03.792 --> 01:01:14.570
had yes. And it is very short amount of time. You have made such an impact. Not only on programs, but on students. So thank you so much

154
01:01:14.570 --> 01:01:26.182
for doing all you have done this a short amount of time. so really so Bethany, I'm going to read some of the what your nomination

155
01:01:26.182 --> 01:01:38.360
said about you This was from a student. And says, this is Lao, always shows an exceptional attitude toward teaching. She consistently shows how a teacher

156
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:48.637
can be fun. While also maximizing amount of amounts of learning that occur in the classroom, Within each of her classes, you carefully chooses assignments

157
01:01:48.637 --> 01:01:59.515
and projects that lead each student to use their particular skill set along with your creativity to achieve a successful outcome. she also

158
01:01:59.515 --> 01:02:08.691
has a clever system in some of her classes that allow students to let her know when they need a little extra help, as my favorite part of your nomination.

159
01:02:12.361 --> 01:02:17.933
And students are to place the duck on top of their monitor, to make it known quietly, that they have questions. So where did this stuff originally? Yeah.

160
01:02:17.933 --> 01:02:27.009
How that community? Oh Brother Duck is kind of complex thing. Like it's a very like it's already behind it, but it is much it helps, I think. And so,

161
01:02:27.009 --> 01:02:35.083
I had all these reproducts and I thought, Oh this would be good ideas so they don't, they need help. You know, you sit with their hand in the air because if

162
01:02:35.083 --> 01:02:44.760
their hand in the air they're not still trying to figure it out themselves. So it's almost like I need help but I'm still trying, I think that it helps

163
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:52.235
and their friend next to them. Sometimes don't help them. Well that's that's my favorite part that we get into right now. The student wrote that this system of all into something with

164
01:02:52.235 --> 01:03:00.443
additional benefits. Students became aware of the ducks around them and they started to help each other. Even before you

165
01:03:00.443 --> 01:03:10.285
could arrive with your assistance. So, thank you so much for everything you do with for us here, Mr. Well, anything you want to add? Absolutely. So

166
01:03:10.285 --> 01:03:16.192
I've only been here since January, but the flower and I got to spend the time together and my previous district, only a

167
01:03:16.192 --> 01:03:25.133
couple months and yet. In some ways. We're maybe trauma bonded by that experience. And so he was very the sly was a very friendly. Face. I got here. We

168
01:03:25.133 --> 01:03:36.545
got To show me around a little bit. We got the f*** and then as an administrator, you go and observe classes and sometimes you go into like a math class

169
01:03:36.545 --> 01:03:46.589
and kind of forget that concept but then it comes back to you, don't know this last class, You know what he

170
01:03:53.162 --> 01:04:02.571
like high level compsai and and yet she's super methodical fun balance and and just so knowledgeable and so it's just on our for me just here to get to be able to help honor. Forget that. You have some special guests here, you have

171
01:04:02.571 --> 01:04:10.579
your husband. Kenneth who's here? Kenneth welcome and your kids Isaac, I think I'm doing now. You can see it had a Hi Hannah. How are you doing

174
01:04:37.973 --> 01:04:46.882

175
01:04:46.882 --> 01:04:59.795
Now, I've had since they Hment that's really a unique high school teacher job to be a teacher. Here. And I think another thing that exemplifies your, your commitment, your

176
01:04:59.795 --> 01:05:11.840
passion, your dedication, to your craft. So, a few years ago, I had some grand money. left over from the federal government and, you know, we're looking for some creative way.

177
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:19.981
We spent on a bunch of programs, we have a little bit left. So I was having to be at the high school, right? To this loud. We had a brief conversation. I'm

178
01:05:19.981 --> 01:05:26.923
like at these funds. What do you think about? doing something? Creating a new club? Maybe? Something like robot. Something like, I don't, really have a great idea, but and that's where

179
01:05:26.923 --> 01:05:39.535
I left. And tell us what has happened in the past three years. So, I was like, well, I noticed something money. Turn off those dollar if I recall

180
01:05:39.535 --> 01:05:49.945
whatever it. Would have. Still in the parks today. So you, we started a thanks robotics club and the parts of reusable, every year. We're very careful

181
01:05:49.945 --> 01:05:59.822
to take all the groves and lots and for them, the Hyperotics kids will know and we have competed in a much competitions for

182
01:05:59.822 --> 01:06:07.896
three years now and we're really blessed to have that program and so thank you. so very much

183
01:06:07.896 --> 01:06:16.605
for everything. Any last word anything you like to say for? All right, Bethany here is a special letter from our executive county superintendent

185
01:06:29.785 --> 01:06:43.064

186
01:06:43.064 --> 01:06:48.537
challenging jobs in the district. And I believe that that's one of the jobs You have talk. It's not that many people are familiar with you. What is

187
01:06:48.537 --> 01:07:05.187
SAC does, there's take in most interesting, only one. Get you real quickly share for the audience, what? So it was originally when it got, founded a position about helping

188
01:07:05.187 --> 01:07:15.230
students who have any connections and ties to substance use problems and over the course of the SAC name, entitled Changing and Evolving Sex. Now Do anything that kids

189
01:07:15.230 --> 01:07:21.703
can think or feel they connect families to resources whether it's for their kid or anyone else. We'll do some crisis

190
01:07:21.703 --> 01:07:29.945
management just you know, just Kind of, sprinkle the position anywhere, I guess. And since you've been here as it been

191
01:07:29.945 --> 01:07:43.225
about six years, You have transformed that position. I mean, I think we've always had good people in the world. but you don't know, the real

192
01:07:43.225 --> 01:07:51.400
great ones until they come through our doors and and you really have. And I I only been in two school districts. I can't say I've been in a time but any

193
01:07:51.400 --> 01:08:03.945
other sack I've been exposed to through county meetings. What have you? Your work is exceptional. You're, you're dedication your focus. The times are relief sat

194
01:08:03.945 --> 01:08:16.492
down together and brainstormed, and additional ways, we can help support students. My job is easy job. I I, I'll just bounce some things off of you and what you

195
01:08:18.727 --> 01:08:27.102
do, you take that idea and you make it actionable and it results in real support for our students on the ground. So, we are so appreciative of what you do day in day out. I like to

196
01:08:27.102 --> 01:08:37.546
read a little something from your nomination. This is from one of your colleagues. Holly is someone who's been such a wealth of knowledge resources, and

197
01:08:37.546 --> 01:08:46.855
support to me since I'm again working. And no, she's done the same for many. If not all other counselors in the school district the role of a

198
01:08:46.855 --> 01:08:55.564
counselors, the rewarding one. But there are times where you are met with crisis that requires you to think fast and according as a first-time,

199
01:08:55.564 --> 01:09:04.173
counselor that was hard for me to navigate and still is poly is consistently been there to guide me in other counselors and haddonfield when are met with

200
01:09:04.173 --> 01:09:10.846
one of those more challenging situations, she'll talk through a tough case, give her expertise and collaborate in a way that you feel supported.

201
01:09:10.846 --> 01:09:28.297
and value in a role. for role as a SAC counselor, is not an easy one, but she always handle situations with dedication and grace to play Mr. Welling, anything Holly is my phone a

202
01:09:34.870 --> 01:09:41.510
have any major crisis or little crisis. I call Holly and I mean he always and if she doesn't pick up, she's sexy people pick up and the best part is that

203
01:09:41.510 --> 01:09:50.719
she's here for staff. She's here for students and every student is for student, every staff member is your staff member and she will work with

204
01:09:50.719 --> 01:09:59.995
them to make sure that whatever it is they feel confident and comfortable and thank you friends. I would echo a little bit of what Gino said. I've only

205
01:09:59.995 --> 01:10:09.537
been here for a few months and I think one of the best components that can give you is that when people ask me how, how it's going. One of the

206
01:10:09.537 --> 01:10:15.176
highlights is our side, counselor is one of the best I've ever met. so knowledgeable, so thorough and

207
01:10:15.176 --> 01:10:24.919
so human. She does a lot for our kids and students but she's also our resident, animal rescuer. So we bonded over chasing a injured, bird around

208
01:10:24.919 --> 01:10:32.627
the parking lot and she was not giving up, but I do think that that's these, her heart, which is very, very particle, and

209
01:10:32.627 --> 01:10:44.706
it's here to help as much as possible. Oh, anything you'd like to share. You know, it's very easy to to do a job and quality work. When

210
01:10:44.706 --> 01:10:53.015
you work with quality people and when you have quality administrators supporting you could easy, feeling useful, holly. Thank you so very much

213
01:11:26.848 --> 01:11:34.055
a little bit of what her nominee said about her. Is to it serves as an exceptionally skilled and dedicated educator who's commitment to her students and

217
01:12:01.183 --> 01:12:15.497
Chin. She's about every student in the class. I think this is the first year she has not having us broadcasting for 10 years. She includes all of our students

218
01:12:15.497 --> 01:12:25.941
and really truly the kind of different instructions. So we are incredibly grateful to have her. She is always the first person that's volunteers for any

226
01:14:01.002 --> 01:14:11.446
energy? So it started my career in digital media and I quickly realized that I'd like to books better and being library is not about. What's so, I started as

227
01:14:11.446 --> 01:14:19.154
a public library and then I'm going to schools and the summer, It'll be my eating here that I Well, we're very lucky to have a

228
01:14:19.154 --> 01:14:33.535
year. Congratulations on all the accomplishments. We actually had a parent and they had to filled school district alumni submit a nomination for you. Some of the things, as parents said, I have a daughter and second grade in

229
01:14:33.535 --> 01:14:44.546
twin daughters and seventh grade. And all three. Consistently tell me what, an amazing teacher Mrs. Suttons she makes learning meaningful engaging and fun for

230
01:14:44.546 --> 01:14:54.489
every age group on a personal level. This is Sutton's care and compassion have been so much to our family. when one of my daughters was feeling anxious

231
01:14:54.489 --> 01:15:05.567
about a topic in class, this is Sutton when above and beyond to make sure that she felt supported comfortable and able to fully participate.

232
01:15:07.703 --> 01:15:16.744
it's a great comfort. As a parent to know that my children have not only in the outstanding teacher would also a trusted adult in the building. You know, we talked so much about the longing in the school district for adults and our

233
01:15:16.744 --> 01:15:35.931
students. And to have someone like, you really recognizes that, an embodies that to go above and beyond, make sure students are feeling happy safe and welcome. When you're at school, we can ask cannot ask for more. Thank you very much for that Mr. Became the same thing. You like that.

234
01:15:38.166 --> 01:15:46.675
so when we so we share buildings, central and middle school, and that comes with sometimes we have to like chat about how we're gonna make things work. But one of the

235
01:15:46.675 --> 01:15:55.884
wonderful things is we get to be really creative and when we were kind of redesigning this position for central middle, you decided that we were going

236
01:15:57.052 --> 01:16:03.458
to make Jewel and have two people do to a role and we like talk to Gino talk to upper administration, we kind of collaborated, and I called

237
01:16:03.458 --> 01:16:13.301
Nicole and she was like This is amazing. Let's do this. Like she was so excited. and it's it takes a really special person to

238
01:16:13.301 --> 01:16:22.244
be able to kind of bridge the gap between kindergarten and eighth grade. But she was so excited to do that job and I truly thank her. Are the only

239
01:16:22.244 --> 01:16:36.925
people that could do that job. and on a personal level. She just creates such a safe. Space and my work baggies and seventh grade. And she came home one day and she said to me,

240
01:16:36.925 --> 01:16:42.764
Mom, that's my safe space at school and I was like, Oh, that's so sweet. And she so it means a lot to her students that

241
01:16:42.764 --> 01:16:52.340
she gets to create a space for kids feel safe. They want to be feeling along. And you do that with a lot of grace and a lot of

242
01:16:52.340 --> 01:17:04.252
enthusiasm for what you do. So we appreciate it. Like this other on our school, just literacy class. It's um, really important than most cases or some of the most social media. She talks about the

243
01:17:04.252 --> 01:17:13.127
pitfalls And you know when you put your name and pictures, all the Internet, where they go find out about you all, things

244
01:17:13.127 --> 01:17:22.637
like that, she's really engaging lessons where she like talking kids three day, you really absurd are and so they find out if it's true in the case of the

245
01:17:22.637 --> 01:17:33.348
book for sources improve, whether it's true, almost, the eclipse, thousands washed up in France or something like that, it didn't look like a real part of it. It gets my

246
01:17:33.348 --> 01:17:41.189
research but they're learning all that. I balance forces and then she's always. Welcome to the kids in the library's always looking for Thanksgiving kids to come into individually

247
01:17:41.189 --> 01:17:50.765
looking for those books and read new books, that really makes kids in the library. Thank you. The call anything

248
01:17:50.765 --> 01:17:57.105
you like to add when you came in, we were doing online stands And when my sixth graders asked it, if this was a scam and the more I think about it, it feels

249
01:17:57.105 --> 01:18:16.791
like a long. Time. You, but you don't know about. This is a whole group of adults comes in. Well, you're teaching

250
01:18:16.791 --> 01:18:32.073
so that you know, that you want this award. So one of my very chatty things readers, ask if Recorded and have it resonated the community. Like I feel

251
01:18:32.073 --> 01:18:43.718
really love. You, well I I know you join me in valuing the importance of an evidence-based Curriculum. Right so evidence based. So here's a letter from the executive County

252
01:18:43.718 --> 01:19:00.568
Supercenter it's not a long con. and a certificate from The new part of Congratulations, thank you again. Hidden Schools Teacher of the

253
01:19:00.568 --> 01:19:25.861
Year, Jason Rosenberg. She had an event for her daughter. but this, this is another special one. I, I had a hand in higher user Rosenberg. So if my memory serves me correctly,

254
01:19:28.029 --> 01:19:43.211
there's 2005. It might hear a second, so it was 2006. I came midway through 2018, that's what a couple months like October. So, you know, not this similar to the story told about me. The

255
01:19:43.211 --> 01:19:58.026
gym teacher at Tatum and carry Court, great legendary that I heard from, when I remember walking in, and the news that Mr. Corbetts leaving, he actually became a system. Principal left hand and

256
01:19:58.026 --> 01:20:12.574
feel you guys have never gonna be able to find someone like that. The kids love them. The teachers, love them. I Jason is one on, if not the

257
01:20:12.574 --> 01:20:19.614
best physical education teacher that I've ever and here's what I mean by that. Gives, usually a pretty serious kind of guy, you know, you might not know.

258
01:20:19.614 --> 01:20:30.558
He's also the HCA code president. So we sit down at liaison every month and sometimes we have all, sometimes we argue, we disagree.

259
01:20:30.558 --> 01:20:37.499
but it's always in the best interest of students, but when you see, Mr, Rosenberg in front of a group of kids, it's it's really special and you've always

260
01:20:37.499 --> 01:20:46.408
been that way. Um and so you have some special guests here tonight, your wife and is here. Hi, Pam. Very nice to meet you.

261
01:20:46.408 --> 01:20:55.016
And we have Addison, Kevin and Johanna. One of the best guys, one of the best. Thank you, January to read something,

262
01:20:55.016 --> 01:21:06.761
right? One of your colleagues wrote about you. Jay is a P health teacher at Tatum where he educates students in all grades with different abilities. We also models

263
01:21:06.761 --> 01:21:17.806
healthy living by participating in community events, like Tatum color run. Not only is he an educator? He's a district leader in a Union Code,

264
01:21:17.806 --> 01:21:31.953
president. We're exclusively with administration in these cha rep council. We initiate the first annual Brainstorm Family, Trivia night. Using the HCA, grant where

265
01:21:31.953 --> 01:21:42.463
families learn together in a night of fun today. Anything, you'd like to share. So I I didn't think about this honor for a while now because we were notified of

266
01:21:42.463 --> 01:21:55.277
this, it would, that's November, right? It was about. Yeah. And you know, as all of you know, The the Aga we have, some great educators. You see what how well the students

267
01:21:56.544 --> 01:22:04.786
perform you talk time and time again about it and often, you know, as a phys, Ed teacher. I feel like we're sometimes at the luck. We're just that prep where we have the stereotype of what

268
01:22:04.786 --> 01:22:14.895
rolling on the wall. And I've really like, I tried to make my class so much more for the students that whether they have peak athletic ability, or they don't have much

269
01:22:14.895 --> 01:22:25.340
at all, they can come in and enjoy my class and be successful. So wait, for me it is just like really, really cool to be recognized like by my

270
01:22:25.340 --> 01:22:33.815
colleagues by the parents that were on the panel by some love, like, the administrators. And so, like this means a lot, it really does. It's important

271
01:22:33.815 --> 01:22:42.624
that, you know, that none of what you do goes on, breaking news, I even remember. It might have been your first maybe.

272
01:22:42.624 --> 01:22:51.633
second year so we know we're going back almost 20 years ago. Yeah, you used to be a video game. I of that, okay? I remember where they're like, you.

273
01:22:53.868 --> 01:23:03.510
Know, all these pads that project on a giant screen? Jay was, I think the first gym teacher at least in South Jersey, that incorporated that into its classroom, it is just

274
01:23:03.510 --> 01:23:13.821
another idea of how you're so centered on the students and making things fun, engaging, and meaningful, and a great learning experience. And and to this day, every time, I'm acting, my

275
01:23:13.821 --> 01:23:26.300
walking that classroom that level of of enthusiasm, and Is always there. So Jay, thank you so much for you. Let me get here certificate I have one party question. Yes,

276
01:23:26.300 --> 01:23:37.145
sir. Can this counted my domain for you? Okay, here's your letter from the executive classes. Department.

277
01:23:48.723 --> 01:24:02.136
now, everybody also have a special I didn't hire Kar. En but right now. Okay, but I did hire people. Well, yeah, Bonnie, but you're

278
01:24:02.136 --> 01:24:11.379
principal, right? So as I mentioned, I also served six years as the director of Special education and Those of us who

279
01:24:11.379 --> 01:24:22.123
have been in the trenches in the Child study team. There's a certain camaraderie that we all have. But it's the most noble and

280
01:24:22.123 --> 01:24:30.098
meaningful work, I think there is in education. And the greatest compliment parent that I can give you your parents and occupational therapist, right?

281
01:24:30.098 --> 01:24:42.043
That, whether it's sitting at an IEP meeting. or brainstorming about how we can best support a student, there's no situation where I've

282
01:24:42.043 --> 01:24:53.153
ever seen you read. Um, you are always focused. spot on with your recommendations and always steeped in research. And now how long have you been in OT? Collectively after 30

283
01:24:53.153 --> 01:25:01.028
years for 30 years? And you know, when you think about one's career, I'm not saying you're near the end of your career, when you get up to that

284
01:25:01.028 --> 01:25:15.510
area, You know, and this was another thing. A mentor of mine. Instilled in me because you know, when you hit that near-end, you want to

285
01:25:15.510 --> 01:25:27.421
be a blazing fire and not a smoldering and you continue to bring that passion and enthusiasm day in day out. I know you have a special place in your heart for

286
01:25:27.421 --> 01:25:36.698
our preschool learners. You always have such an advocate for handwriting and ensuring all the students have defined and go to some other skills that they

287
01:25:36.698 --> 01:25:45.606
need. So really appreciate you can continue to be such a pleasure to work with Karen. I'm going to read something that one of your colleagues wrote Karen is exceptionally skilled in your

288
01:25:45.606 --> 01:25:53.914
field of expertise and greatly value her insight and she constantly provides practical and thoughtful strategies to help students in all the areas

289
01:25:53.914 --> 01:26:06.661
including fine motor development century, integration and executive function. She is creative and continually finds new effective ways to connect with and support even

290
01:26:06.661 --> 01:26:19.473
the most challenging learning stockade there or something. I feel like that. Yes. So, on the places that I find parents, I'm already are very interesting. I I go walk in, I

293
01:26:38.259 --> 01:26:56.010
a smile, but somehow of fidget, Karen. And I'm so grateful to have her one of the great things that Karen came to me about last year and into this year was

294
01:26:56.010 --> 01:27:05.486
creating kind of sensory kits for everyone, not just students with special needs but all of our kids and, you know, took the initiatives to get that

295

329
01:36:43.530 --> 01:36:55.008
project compilation, on top of that, helping the Ephesians cells. We were looking to add kind of like layers of what the cost would be

330
01:36:55.008 --> 01:37:09.122
particular. Like, for example, like activities that trigger change rotation that maybe that's a higher fee and an activity that doesn't transportation. We also talked about lunch meal prices for next

331
01:37:09.122 --> 01:37:19.299
school year. There's going to be just increase by 20 cents for elementary school lunches and that's it. So we'll probably next meeting approve, those Places for next school year. And

367
01:44:14.881 --> 01:44:23.857
our support services speak, many of them, talk about the positive culture in this holes and I think that the longevity of our teachers who really stay

368
01:44:23.857 --> 01:44:35.768
and our administrators who stay Speaks to that culture. and I also think that, That goes down to our students, right? If our if we have happy

staff and and collegial staff, then I think that really the students feel that. So I want to thank everybody for all your efforts on that part. It doesn't
