And that way they can introduce themselves if you want to do touch. And if you could just introduce yourself and tell us who you're with, it'd be great. Absolutely. So, thank you for, uh, having us this evening. Um, the presentation is really going to be a, a celebration of, um, paper mill in our community. The students, the parents, the staff, um, the whole, the whole kit and caboodle. 'cause that's why we're here and that's how,
um, we make things work. Do you wanna say who's here? Yes. Hello. I am James. JP Bobbing. No. All right. We have Callie and Camden and Catherine, Zara and Olivia, um, with me and, and their parents. And, um, a a big reason why, um, these folks are here is they are, um, members of our board, most of them of our PTO. And as I go through the presentation, I think you'll realize why that is so incredibly important, um, to our paper mill, uh, community. So everything that we do at Paper Mill revolves around our PBIS,
our Positive Behavior Intervention and supports. And our four things that go along with our, our panda paws, um, are that we show our personal best Active Kindness we can play safely and show Best. So they've got it. And, uh, throughout the day we give out, um, coupons and things like that, that the students earn, like The pause, Um, that they, that they earn for doing any of these items, which lead to, um, other events. Um, we have raffle prizes each week that range from all different things.
Uh, we have Spirit days each month, and we have our trimester events that go along, um, as well. In the fall we did a scarecrow and, um, building contest among the rooms, um, in a parade we just did our tie dye event where every student, thanks to partnership with the PTO, um, we did every student tie-dyed a shirt, staff tie-dyed a shirt, and then we had a spirit day where we all got to wear them together. It was pretty amazing. And coming up, we have Touch a Trunk. Uh, this is a list of community events that we've done so far this year, um, and some that we're looking forward to coming.
So as you can see, it's been a pretty busy, um, a year and a lot of fun things for us to look forward to. And we'll, we'll highlight, uh, some of these events as we go through. Um, our fall festival. These pictures really don't do it justice. I think we ran out of, um, uh, bingo cards as we, as we went through the, we had, I think 175 and we, and we ran out. Um, but what this does show on the right hand side is a partnership with Home Depot. Um, so, uh, you know, a community company that, um,
helps support us and, and they built bird houses and then, um, all different events both inside, outside. We had NHS students from the high school come and help out. So again, bringing in all different facets of, of the Westfield community. Our winter concert, um, hosted by Randy Humphrey, our, our music teacher, chorus band teacher, um, did a, a phenomenal job. She's up on the stage on the right, leading our band, and what's really incredible is the bottom left. As long as we don't show it to the fire department, um, you'll see that, um, how wonderfully attended, um,
this event was so wonderfully attended, um, that our spring concert will be broken into a couple different ones instead of one at the same time. Um, so a great problem to have that we have that many people coming out, um, to support our students. It was, it was a wonderful thing. Our coco and story movie night, um, was a nice cozy event, um, this winter before Christmas break where we just got to come, um, relax in our PJ's, li listen to a story, uh, have some hot cocoa, watch a movie, and just, um, enjoy some quiet, um,
a quiet evening together. Our paint night was in February where Ms. W our, uh, art teacher led a kind of a guided and, um, individualized, uh, project that had a heart on it. And the, the part that was the same was that they all had a heart on their, on their canvas, the part that was individualized as they could pick what colors, how they painted it. So every one of them came out different. Every student left with a painting that they could hang up at home and, um, have for quite a long time.
It was very well attended, as you can see. Um, and a lot of smiling faces, A lot of these same faces. Um, were there that evening as well. Read Across America. We just finished up, uh, what our theme was really for this year was we wanted to get family members in to read to the kids. We wanted kids reading to each other. Um, so we had students traveling between classrooms, we had students reading to each other. We had moms and dads and aunts and uncles and grandparents and, um, all different family members coming in and, and reading with the students and just celebrating the joy, um, of reading.
It was a, a great week of just, um, being able to explore some literacy, share some favorite books, and, um, have fun together, some upcoming events. Um, we have Touch a Truck coming up, which is similar, I believe, to what, um, Fort Meadow is doing, um, where we have a whole bunch of different, um, well trucks and automobiles vehicles, all different things for the kids to experience, construction things, things like that. Our spring concert, we're planning a bingo for books. Our career week is at the beginning of June and then we'll wrap up the year with Field Day.
I never introduced myself, I apologize. I am Mike Atkins, the proud principal of Paper Mill. I have, um, Ms. Tory Jennings, the Vice Principals here as well, um, and a whole bunch of parents and PTL. So thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it, Mike. Busy place. Yeah, thank you. Go right. You want me to keep 'em or no? I'm gonna Hold 'em hostage. Just leave your kids here.

Good evening. My name is Jillian Battles and I'm the president of Key Club. Hi there. My name is Justin Romanelli. I am the treasurer of Key Club and also a member of Student Council. We're excited to tell you all about the Westfield High School events that have been happening recently in events to come starting off our spring sports tryouts have begun and continuing throughout this week.
Some sports. Currently hosting tryouts are softball, baseball, lacrosse, track and field tennis, and our unified track and field program. I'm personally very excited to try the new tennis courts Coming up. Westfield State is hosting their annual career fair on March 27th. This is open for 11th grade students at Westfield High School, as well as for the students at Technical Academy. There's also a college fair that our juniors are intended to invited to a invited to attend at the big E grounds tomorrow Onto student council, who has been working on boosting the morale of the student body, leading up to testing week
with MCAS coming up. They're, they're also continuing the planning for the spring pep rally to get students kind of, to have fun a little bit and relax from all of the schoolwork. In addition, last, last Wednesday, the Westfield chapter of the National Honor Society inducted over 60 new members from both the junior and senior classes. Our current members were able to say a few words about their new fellow members and it was a beautiful ceremony that reminded of, reminded us of all the, all reminded all members of the importance of the work we do for our community. With regards to Key Club, my personal favorite, we recently just finished up Kindness Week.
Each day we celebrated a different group of staff with teachers, custodians, the, uh, guidance counselors and the lunch staff. Um, now additionally, we are gearing up, gearing up for our elections, but we have not forgotten about St. Patrick's Day, as you can see. So at today's meeting, we were able to decorate place mats for the arbors for the elder elderly, just to lift up their spirits a little bit. We've also been doing well with involving our members that volunteering at the soup kitchen with one coming up actually, and to be able to continue doing so.
We are having a dine to donate night at the Maple Leaf on March 25th. So if you are free, you are very welcome to join. In addition, the ribbon cutting ceremony took place last week for our brand new Innovations Engineering lab. This lab is equipped with a CNC machine as well as a laser engraver three multiple 3D printers, new benches and whiteboards. It is a great place for all of our CAP Capstone engineering students to work on and develop their project with plenty of space for both building and developing projects. On April 5th, we will be hosting the into the Arts display from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM This is a great way to see the student's artwork firsthand
and see the hard work they're putting into their art classes. One of those displays is going to include our student designed socks that spread awareness for lymphedema. This initiative was put forth by Ms. West and shows our students creativity while also raising awareness for a great cause. In addition, we also have MCAS Snow up next week for our 10th grade students. We hope that all of them of course, study and that we all work hard and do well. On that exam On March 27th, there will be a presentation in the library at Westfield High School. It'll be from Baystate Medical Center and it will be a great opportunity for those interested in the career field, uh,
the medical field, and find job opportunities. Two weeks ago, our band had their annual P annual POPS concert and it was a great hit and it was great success overall with a few pushbacks due some weather. Our band ultimately showed gr their skills and adaptability through hosting a great night for everyone. Coming up in May, our drama club will be hosting their spring musical all shook up. They're currently rehearsing and are on track for a wonderful performance directed by Owen Schneider with, uh, musical Direction by Cory Bruno and Patrick Kennedy. Moving on, we also have a lot of activities for our senior class with preparation for prom
and for senior banquet. Another fun event coming up soon is our senior assassin event. So if we are, we are preparing for that as well. Finally, Baystate Noble is hosting a two week summer program that is accepting applications now. This is one of the many opportunities our career center has put forth for our students in the past few weeks. Another opportunity our students have had is speaking to the students at Westfield Middle School. So a couple of weeks ago, a few representatives spoke with the seventh and eighth grade students about the pathways that our high school offers. It was very well received and we're looking forward to more opportunities including
the middle school and what we do. So that's all we have for today. Thank you so much. Thank you Justin and Jill. Thank you. Anybody? Okay, hold on. Justin, before you go. What's a senior assassin? That's what it's called. I swear. Well, I get it. What is it? Yeah, take it off. Go ahead. Just pull it straight up. Never to work again. Yeah, we gotta get a better system. I think so. Thanks. Is it working? Yes. Yes. Okay. It's working. Okay. In summary, the senior assessment event is more or less a trying not to get hit by a water gun while not,
while also shooting at people with a water gun, if that makes sense. Okay. You get Assignments Who you have to Yeah. There's purge days where you can't wear your floaties or like, uh, ponchos or anything that are supposed to protect you. So then they get you out and there's a, uh, prize money at the end.

Appreciate the work time and effort and caring that, uh, superintendent Zaki puts into the job. Uh, there was very little talk, uh, and back and forth about term compensation, um, or everything else that goes into a contract. So, um, I just hope, uh, that the Superin sees how easy this was on his behalf and that we appreciate all you do. I know, speaking just for myself, I'm glad that it's a three year contract. Um, just real quick, uh,
there will be a renegotiation 18 months before that June 30th to add another year. So it's really a three plus one, uh, to get him through, um, June of 2029, if so, desired by the committee and the superintendent. So I just think, I, I think this shows the appreciation that the committee has for the job that you do, uh, and the job that you especially do for the kids of the city of Westfield and surrounding areas that, uh, attend Westfield Public School. So I want to thank you for your time and two, congratulate you on a new

I'd like to make a motion to accept the special revenue account summary as presented. Second motion been made. And second.
Any further discussion? Good evening everyone. Shannon Barry, director of finance. Um, just a few comments tonight. I wanted to point out the gifts art account. Um, I believe we've talked about that. We've purchased furniture for the art rooms at the high school. We purchased new, um, instruments for the band. And just recently we were able to purchase an embroidery embroidery machine for the graphic arts program at WTA and then school Choice. So the balance in there, um, is slightly lower. Um, that is reflected just from some last minute purchases that were just made. Um, but what it's looking at for the end of the year,
we still have salaries that were offsetting through school choice. So the balance I'm projecting for the end of the year is $2,685,440. Can you Say that number again? Yes. $2,685,440. So that takes into account, um, the technology we still need to purchase. It takes into, into account the salaries. And as you remember, the school of choice claiming process happens in the spring. So I went on the low end of what I think the revenue will be for the rest of the spring, just to air on the, on caution.
So, um, that's what we're looking at for the end of the year. I just have a more question. Sure. Yeah. Um, will there be summer school this year? 'cause one of the line items Was summer school. There is summer school, so those are older accounts. When we used to charge for summer school, now we use our Title one funding, um, to pay for summer school programs that are happening to pay for the staff and supplies. Um, previously we had used SR as well. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm. The, um, school choice money. Yes. Can you refresh my memory? And what was the total of school choice money that we used in this year's
Budget? It was just over 1.9 million. And has that all been taken out or none of it taken out or? So we've spent most of it. Yep. The salaries are what we have left. And that Will be, I guess what I'm looking for is a dollar amount. The dollar amount of salaries left to pay is $366,121 and 50 cents. But in that balance I just gave you that takes that into account? It does, yes. Okay. And it takes into account revenue erring on the side of caution because the claiming process doesn't happen. So that's what I expect to happen at the end of the year after everything's said and done. Okay. One sure. Athletic lines. Yes.
And I know the AD has been using or director of athletics or whatever we call it Yep. Ad mm-hmm. Has been using some of this to, to keep his budget going too. Is he in a good spot still? Has he got, is he comfortable? Are you comfortable, what's in there that, in the rest of the spring sports season? Again, as you know, as I said last time, I, I don't like how early we had to tap into the revolving funds to fund athletics this year. Mm-hmm. I would feel much more comfortable if we weren't relying solely on the revolving fund to cover it. But again, he's assured me
that we will be fine using the revolving con. Is there ing funds through the end of the year? Are we over budget in the athletic department or is there unforeseen costs that we need to use the revolving account for? So when we budgeted for FY 25 Yep. What was budgeted was definitely not enough to cover the cost in the athletic department. Um, the rising cost of the, the chemicals on the pool alone, um, has been taxing that budget. And then transportation too. Um, when our regular transportation provider can provide the transportation, we have to rely on other busing companies,
um, which tend to be more expensive buses. So that's also creating an issue. Thank you. Sullivan. Jeffrey Gunther? Yes. Oh no, I'm sorry. I have to do it up here. Uh, Heather Sullivan? Yes. Jeffrey Gunther. Yes. Kathleen Hillman. Yes. O Sullivan. Yes. Tim O'Connor. Yes. And Chairman McKay. Yes. I'd like to make a motion, accept the following gifts, donations that have been made to Westfield School public schools. Uh, donated to Westfield Technical Academy from Maple Leaf, Holly Neland, uh, in the amount of $1,500 to be used
with a Westfield, um, WTA athletic gift account. So just to explain, um, do you want me to spend an hour after say I need a second. Second. Second. You got a second? I did. Yeah. We've had this in front of us twice now, So at least Yes. Wanna get it right? So here's what happened. It was, this was a donation, so a gift. So it needs to go into a gift account. The technical academy mistakenly put it in their student activity account where it doesn't belong. So you'll see that the check is actually written from their student activity account. So we can deposit it correctly into the gift account. But because it's a gift,
we didn't end up accepting it last time, but we do need to accept it 'cause I'm now trying to get it into a gift account. Perfect. Um, Donated to Highland Elementary School from Stop and Shop Women for a good program in the amount. $147 from using educational purposes gift account and donated to Westfield Intermediate School from New England Air out of Windsor Locks, Connecticut, the amount of $2,763 to using educational purposes. Gift account Tech. I already did. No, you did the first one. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Um, yeah.
Thank you to all, uh, our generous donors, particularly Maple Leaf. We just keeps on giving. Does Holly know she's given three times? Yeah. I Gotta be honest with you, she's up to 4,500. Any further discussion? Mme. Sullivan? Thank you. Jeffrey Gunther? Yes. Kathleen Hillman. Yes. Bo Sullivan. Yes. Heather Sullivan. Yes. Tim O'Connor. Yes. And Chairman McCabe? Yes. Motion passes. Just a couple of quick updates. So, uh, last week, uh, a group of folks, uh, including a high school student and a parent and school committee member, uh, interviewed our five semi-finalists
for our special ed education, uh, director position. So the process is still going, but it is moving forward. And hopefully by the next meeting we'll have an announcement for you. So I just wanted to keep the update on that. Um, we are, as our district is starting our ALICE drills tomorrow, uh, with, in collaboration with Westfield Police Department. We did send out notification, but I just want to bring that up again. Uh, the Pops concert. So the day that, uh, the power went out at Westfield High School, uh, when the trees fell and that big fun stuff happened, uh, we actually had had a,
a concert planned for our senior citizens as well. So that actually had to get, uh, postponed. So we have rescheduled something, uh, Mr. Kennedy and I worked it out, but he's gonna bring the jazz band to the senior center on April 4th, where they'll be having breakfast already. So they'll be having breakfast to live music, and we'll be able to hand out the raffle prizes that we had gathered for our senior citizens at the same time. So again, it's April 4th at eight 30 at the Westfield Senior Center. So please stop by if you are available at that time. Uh, and Happy St.
Patrick's Day. That's all I have. Wow. Well, that was, look at you. Yeah. My next, yes. So last week I think it was all about Westville High School, right? Well, I, yeah. Well at least for me. Well, so we had NHS. Yeah. And I want to thank, uh, Mr. O'Connor for attending the NHS Induction Ceremony. Um, it never ceases to amaze me all of the different things that our kids were involved in. Um, we did have the ribbon cutting at the, uh, innovation lab, which was, uh, which was fun. Um, that same day, I think I taught a current affairs class for Mr.
Doji, uh, at oh seven 30. So a little early in the morning for the kid. But, um, I was there and it was a lot of fun. The topic, I know you're gonna find this hard to believe was battery storage. And, um, now it's true. I know it's hard to believe. Um, but it was, it was, it was really cool. There was about, uh, 20 kids in a class and it was fairly interactive. And then I'll also last week turning onto a tech talk. They're not here now. Right. The tech talk folks. Um, we did have the faculty student basketball game, which was a blast to attend. A fun time was had by all.
And that brings us to the school committee update. Who won the kids, I mean the kids, but it was close to halftime. They were all winners till halftime. It really was close till halftime. It was four. And then the kids just second half the, the elderly folks on the court got a little tired. What happened? They didn't ask me. They didn't ask. I was all suited too. Are you in direction, Kathleen? School Committee updates? So today I attended the Attendance Task Force group. Um, and I would like to report that we're doing very well with attendance.
Um, we have, uh, three schools at the elementary level who are almost attaining the 95 percentile of attendance. But overall for grades one through eight, our percentage is 93.66, which I think is wonderful for the elementary and at the high school. And the tech school are average is 91.67 for attendance. So it looks like the task force is doing a fantastic job of moving people forward. And Chris does the, um, he's the administrator
that goes forward and is talking about this, and he is always asking about how we could do better. And so there were some suggestions today that I thought were moving us a little bit more forward. So I would like to thank all the task members that attended today because it was time out of their day. And I want everybody to know we're moving forward. Thank you. Thank you. Anything else, Mr. O'Connor? Yeah. So, um, it, it went by quick, but, um, with the superintendent's contract, I just on behalf of the school committee, want to thank, uh, Bo Sullivan. Mike Trell for the part that they did in, in working
with the superintendent to put this in place. Congratulations. And Mr. Rell also send us congratulations. Wanted to make sure he said that for you. Thank you. Yep. Thank you. Subcommittee. Can I do one, Mr. Sullivan? Um, A a a quick update on some things. I mentioned it before, uh, at one of the chamber breakfasts back in December when the show choir performed with, uh, Cory Bruno, uh, under her direction, I was approached with a couple other people who Don't have a problem asking
for money from people in town. I think you could figure out who probably is a couple of us. Um, they asked, they asked if they, we would help 'em do with, do a fundraiser for, to get the show choir to go to their, they, at the time they didn't know, but they are going to Hershey, Pennsylvania in May. Um, it was about a $30,000 lift for them to go. And we said, sure, we will do whatever we can to help them get to, um, to Hershey. So, uh, a celebrity bartender night was thought of, um, which is fine. And since the show choir performs every year at the tavern,
um, we approached Peter at the tavern, Peter and Chris at the Tavern, and they were all in. So right down on your calendars and everybody watching this, and every parent of anybody who's ever sang for the show choir April 28th, there will be a celebrity bartender slash auction slash donation slash hopefully percentage of a check going to the show choir. Now, when I say celebrity bartenders, they don't know it yet, but Mr. Zaki will have a team. The mayor will have a team. We, we will come up with the teams,
but it's gonna be a fun night and it's gonna, all, everything goes to make sure the show choir gets to Hershey, Pennsylvania in May. So, uh, put that on your calendars, updates and details to follow. Uh, I do need to sit with, uh, Mrs. Bruno and inform her of everything that's going on. So, uh, but it'll be a fun night. And, uh, we think, I hope she can make it. We, no, I've already, I've already cleared that much with her. She knows the date. She know it's gonna be five 30, starting at five 30 at the tavern on the 28th of April, Monday night. Not a school committee night. That's my only.
Alright, so everybody's got your phone out. Put that in your phone. That's it. That's all I, oh, and good luck to our parade Marshal not stepping in a pothole, breaking an ankle. So they walk in for two and a half miles through the streets of Holyoke. I'm sure he'll enjoy it. Carry the banner proudly. I'm sure he will. Mr. Parade, Marshall Timothy O'Connor and Mayor in no rain? No. Hi. Haven't really been very much good at that. Have you ever been to a graduation that I've posted? Oh, geez. Yes. All of them Except mayor. Since you, since you've become mayor,
