our junior prom. Um on May 21st, the high school is having a a Grammy senior talent show. And um May 22nd in the our testing window for NWA closes. on May 26 is our middle school uh PBIS um skating

85
00:24:01.280 --> 00:24:18.080
trip and then nope I think they changed it from skating though. I think they Dr. Lewis something with the funding from the state. They may have changed that to a some other event but we're celebrating our kids who have uh exhibited uh positive behavior throughout the year.

86
00:24:18.080 --> 00:24:33.520
And June 5th is the middle school field day. So uh mark your calendars. I want to give a big shout out and acknowledge and celebration to um Mrs. former board member Stephanie O'Neal. One of our teachers was acknowledged at the county

87
00:24:33.520 --> 00:24:49.279
level and nominated by a parent um of one of our students for her outstanding work. She was recognized uh the the county came in and and uh presented her with the the acknowledgement. We all were there to uh to celebrate and take pictures. I think you may have seen uh

88
00:24:49.279 --> 00:25:04.640
um seen that on social media, but yesterday they had the county level, they had a county recognition for those teachers that were uh nominated by parents. So, it was just a shout out to her for her hard work and dedication to our kids and uh servicing going over and beyond to service our students and and

89
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:20.320
meeting their needs and and that's a big part I think that is often missed uh is the parent piece, right? So for a parent to know the work that you're doing with the kids speaks volumes, especially at the secondary level. Sometimes in education, you know, you get a lot of parent involvement in the elementary and

90
00:25:20.320 --> 00:25:36.480
then when they get to the middle and high school level, parents start to pull back. You know, figure, you know, I don't know what why that happens. Maybe it's a maturity thing or um but it's just as valuable and important. And so for a parent to recognize, I think this is the greatest award. uh students and

91
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:52.400
staff will recognize a teacher because they like them, but a parent will recognize you because of the impact you've had on their child. And so, shout out to Miss O'Neal and uh for that great acknowledgement, and we're very proud that she's represented us on the county level every day as she walks through our

92
00:25:52.400 --> 00:26:08.159
campus. A few athletic updates. As you uh know, we hosted our I don't know how long that's been docked, but our first regional track meet competition. Um and it went pretty well. We had 19 teams participate. It was very successful. Um,

93
00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:23.840
we had six student athletes qualify for the state track meet. Derek McKenna, Chris Walker, Adrien Walker, Gerald Harris, Tyreek Ma May, Mabbins, Mabins, and Lema Johnson Baker. Our 4x4 relay team won the first place at regionals as

94
00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:40.320
well. Adrien Walker took second place in the long jump. Tyreek placed fourth in the 3200 meter and Lema placed second in discus. So, shout out to all of our our student athletes, our track athletes in the spring. Um, to the Wallacees. If you you've been around here with track, you

95
00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:56.320
know how uh committed the Wallacees have been to making sure our kids have uh an exceptional track experience and committed to them. Actually, another shout out to the Wallacees because tonight at the penny ceremony, they they uh presented two scholarships from the

96
00:26:56.320 --> 00:27:11.279
family, the the mom and Mr. Wallace and Mrs. Wallace um out of their pockets to two of our our student athletes. One of their criteria is they got to be a track runner. So, two of our Leama and Chris both got $4,000 scholarships from the Wallace family. So, shout out to the

97
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:26.880
Wallace family. We appreciate you and thank you for all the guidance and the commitment to to our our district and community and to our uh especially to our track students. Uh Mr. Pitman wanted me to make sure that you all knew about upcoming events for the next school year. He wants to

98
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:43.039
start early. Week one home game will be uh against Parkway Christian here at Mount Clemens. Week two girls volleyball home game against East Point. Girls volleyball district and regional. This is something to be very proud of when when the MHSAA uh starts allowing you to

99
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:57.679
host regional and district tournaments. It speaks volumes to what they think about your program. They're not going to host something for uh the the county or the state if they don't think that you have capable people and are able to to to put together an event that is worthy.

100
00:27:57.679 --> 00:28:15.520
So, this is a feather in his cap. Um but and shout out to Mr. Pilgrim for that. But we'll be hosting the girls volleyball district regionals will be held here November 2nd, 4th, and 6th. And the regionals will be um and the that's the district the regional will be held here the following week. Um the

101
00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:32.880
boys boys district basketball will be held here February 2nd, 4th, and 26th. And the girls district uh basketball tournament will be held here uh March 1st, 3rd of next school year. So uh he didn't do it for that reason, but shout out to Mr. Pitman for representing us in our athletic department um like he's

102
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:47.679
doing and building that up. And well, we're also looking forward to implementing and and Miss McNill is excited about trying to get this uh we have secured some funding to try to get elementary sports off the ground uh starting next year, too. So, looking forward to that. Last but not least, uh

103
00:28:47.679 --> 00:29:02.960
final update for me. As you know, we uh are in the hunt for a new principal and uh we've been through several rounds uh with uh of committee and interviews. We had last week, our second round interview was made up of a a committee

104
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:18.159
of a lot of people, staff, current teachers, uh, representing the different grade levels, uh, union, um, membership, uh, at the table, two students, most most important, two of our students, uh,

105
00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:34.799
one that's a graduating senior, uh, and then one who's going to be here for some time, uh, were really instrumental in that process, as well as a number of other staff. our current principal at the elementary and so on. So, we had a pretty good group on the second round. The the first round of interviews was

106
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:50.000
held with central office team, myself, Dr. Lewis, uh Alyssa, Miss Magnamera, Miss Doss, and uh we kind of weeded down some of the things. And so, we, you know, this is very important for our community. We're small, so every hire is is is important. So, we want to be very

107
00:29:50.000 --> 00:30:07.120
intentional. Uh we've added a step um to the process this year. We've had asked the two CAN finalists to um complete um performance task prior to which they they both did a very good job on and so um I had opportunity to visit one of the

108
00:30:07.120 --> 00:30:23.200
finalists in their work environment in their school yesterday Tuesday. Yeah, yesterday and um and so we're very hopeful and should be hopefully having some great announcements coming to you by next board meeting. So, thank you to everyone who participated. Um, families,

109
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:40.080
community members, our parent, uh, representative was on our interview committee. Uh, our our pack president, Miss uh, Granados, she sat in on it. And, uh, we're just we're very, uh, hopeful for our future. So, more information to come. Those are my comments.

110
00:30:40.080 --> 00:31:00.480
Any questions for superintendent? He see none. Moving on to item 14, board comments. Start with Miss Hammond. >> Thank you. Uh busy end of the school year, but very

111
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:17.039
productive. Um we got some great things going on in the school district. It's good to know that we're going to have some repairs done. That's really good to hear. Um Mrs. O'Neal, congratulations to Mrs. O'Neal. thank her for going above and

112
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:32.720
beyond and the parent that also um recommended her. So, that's very much appreciated. And thank you to the track coaches to the u Mr. and Mrs. Wallace um with all they do with the track program and also their scholarship that they presented to the two students cuz that

113
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:49.840
is a nice side scholarship from those two individuals. And I want everyone to have a safe Memorial Day weekend. That's all I have. paying you, Mr. Shepard. >> Uh, pretty much echoing the same thing.

114
00:31:49.840 --> 00:32:07.600
Uh, working with the, uh, Wallacees when I was the administrative assistant. Um, they were always organized, on top of things, uh, just excellent. So, uh, congratulations to them and, uh, also thank you and, uh, happy graduation to

115
00:32:07.600 --> 00:32:24.559
everybody and, uh, looking forward to, uh, few weeks from now. Thank you. Thank you for your comments, Miss Goon. >> Thank you. So, uh just a quick um outstanding job continually to the faculty. Um the reason that there are so

116
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:39.519
many good things is because of you and your team. Um continuing, persevering past the bond issue, past everything, any negativity, and you always take the high road and the positiveness. Um, so,

117
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:56.399
um, great job Stephanie O'Neal. When she was on the board, I had, uh, many opportunities to talk to her. What an incredible human being. Um, just incredible heart. And every time I see her when I come in the building, there's just a smile on her face. She just loves what she does. And so, I'm glad that a

118
00:32:56.399 --> 00:33:13.120
parent um, acknowledged her for that. It was um, it was it was due like she's just an incredible person. So, and thank you to that parent honestly for being engaged. Like I I find that um a lot of issues

119
00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:29.440
with the public school system is that parent parents struggle to be engaged. They're working a lot and things like that and they they struggle to be engaged. So seeing parents recognize teachers means that that parent is highly engaged with their child and with the school. So um kudos to that parent.

120
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:45.360
Um, Stephanie makes lives different and um, I just I'm so proud of her. Um, athletes, uh, way to go to the track athletes and honestly to all the athletes this year from basketball to

121
00:33:45.360 --> 00:34:02.399
football, all of it. Um, amazing that everybody's just persevering and it's growing and growing. Thank you, Mr. Pitman, for just continually, you know, putting it out there and getting everybody ready for the next season. So, um, and then finally, um, thank you to

122
00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:18.240
the Wallace family for the substantial donation. That was quite generous and I know that I'm sure the students will benefit highly from that. So, um, those are my comments. >> Thank you, >> Dr. McFadder.

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:35.679
