It's always kind of sad to see the the sixth graders moving on, but I'm sure they'll be in great hands at the middle school as well since we have such an amazing music department. Um, school 5 also had its annual marathon that I think has been going on for long 65 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:44.559 as I can remember, but at least 15 years. Um, so the sixth graders had a track to run around their school for 60 minutes. Fifth grade did 50 minutes, fourth grade did 40 minutes and and they hung in there because they're not allowed to walk. They've got they should all keep it moving. So, Miss Sass and 66 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:59.280 and everyone there, they always do a great job having the kids motivated to finish that. Um, they also had their people's choice awards uh this past Monday. So, 30 students were recognized.

Uh they did 68 00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:31.120 teachers lunchons. They had a donut truck. I mean, it they do a really good job. HSA, I can't tell it enough. And also to note that the entire HSA leadership team is moving on from school. So, yeah. 69 00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:48.000 I'm very sad about this, but they're all moving on. Uh, so we definitely need new blood at school five, and they actually have their HSA meeting this coming Monday at 6:30 p.m. at school 5. So, I can't any parents from schools uh two and four who may be moving up to five. 70 00:20:48.000 --> 00:21:04.400 Please come check them out because we need all the help we can get.

I just got some of the funny reminders from from my child's teacher to make sure they were going to bed on time. So, I figured I would pass that along.

So, the month of May is a very important month in education. We like to recognize our teachers and our nurses for the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice that 103 00:30:23.600 --> 00:30:38.240 they make throughout the year for young people. uh sacrificing their own families at times to give to our young people here in Winsow. So, thank you to all of our teachers and nurses for all that they do. Again, state testing is 104 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:54.559 underway. Like to uh recognize Mr. Aante and his team for the hard work of troubleshooting any issues that may come up that he has prevented to uh keep uh testing uh from getting interrupted. So, thank 105 00:30:54.559 --> 00:31:11.760 you uh Mr. Ponte and your team. Uh we're also like Miss Clement said preparing for QAC. Uh this will be a visit from our county DOE and they will look through all that we do. So we've been 106 00:31:11.760 --> 00:31:30.480 preparing for that and I am confident that we will be successful. Also like to talk about some programming. I I I've been mentioning since the budget season how we need to look at the budget in the in regard to special 107 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:47.600 ed and Miss Clemen and myself had a meeting with a company that is familiar to the district already about a transition program that we will be looking into to help bring some of our students who are out of district back into district to help alleviate some of 108 00:31:47.600 --> 00:32:05.200 the cost of special ed. budget. So, that is something that we are taking serious and we're going to continue to move in uh the right direction to help bring these students back, but to make sure that we have the right resources here in Winslow to accommodate these students. 109 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:20.399 Uh I attended the Camden County College partners dinners dinner and it was a great way for Winsow to be represented and network with Camd County College. It was an opportunity for us to uh be thanked for allowing the college to come 110 00:32:20.399 --> 00:32:37.600 into our schools and to support us and also to thank Cam County College for all the support that they provide to our students. At the middle school, Rowan University's vice president Bob Bullard and vice chancellor of admissions Jeff Gant met with our middle school students. was an 111 00:32:37.600 --> 00:32:54.480 opportunity to share with our middle school students the college process and get the college proc process in their minds at an early age. So, we're going to look to connect with all of our college partners to come in and and just speak with our young people as early as 112 00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:13.919 possible to establish a foundation of college and college preparedness as they move forward towards high school. had the honor of being invited to Rowan University's uh College of Education commencement exercises. 113 00:33:13.919 --> 00:33:29.679 Another great opportunity to represent Ringo Township. I was proud to be the representative on stage with the dean and other professors at Rowan. Unfortunately, I didn't know if we had any students that were graduating, but I 114 00:33:29.679 --> 00:33:46.480 hope that if they were, they are uh moving on to bigger and better things thanks to their education at Rowan University. Also like to recognize Mr. Ingram. Mr. Ingram has been doing a phenomenal job with the studio 106 and 115 00:33:46.480 --> 00:34:01.919 the TV production program.

We're looking to also add it to our Facebook and uh 116 00:34:01.919 --> 00:34:16.879 Instagram page as well, but the work that Mr. Ingram and his students are doing in that program is second to none. Also like to congratulate the board for your hard work to become a certified 117 00:34:16.879 --> 00:34:34.720 board. attended. >> We attended the board certification Spring County meeting for the uh New Jersey School Boards Association and Winsow Township was uh one of the school districts, one of two school districts that were uh recognized for their hard 118 00:34:34.720 --> 00:34:49.679 work to become a certified board.

Really appreciate you the work you're doing in the community. Really appreciate it. >> All right, we're gonna move on down to public comments. 136 00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:46.160 >> Yes, thank you, Mr. President. Uh the Windsor Township Support Board of Education highly values the input of citizens in making important decisions that affect the children of our community. We also believe in the rights of citizens to observe board meetings to ensure that all of our citizens have the opportunity to attend schoolboard meetings and also comment and to ensure 137 00:39:46.160 --> 00:40:01.119 that the board can conduct the important business of the district. We ask that speakers follow the guidelines for making public comments. Notation of public comments on agenda items. The board president or board secretary will recognize those individuals in the audience who wish to make comment. Please respect the following procedures. 138 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:17.920 Number one, all members of the public attending schoolboard meetings must treat each other and the board with respect. Number two, state your full name and town. Number three, please limit your comments to four minutes. Number four, submit your questions to the board of education with your name, address, and telephone number where you 139 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:33.920 can be contacted. Your questions will be answered within a reasonable time. And number five, individuals offering citizen comment are not permitted to make personal attacks on any district employee, board member, other testifier, or member of the public. So with that, we would need a motion to open up public 140 00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:49.359 comment. Mr. President, >> thank you. I'm looking for a motion to open up public comments. >> I move, Mr. President, that we open up uh the meeting to public comments. >> You have a second. >> All in favor? >> I miss Bo. >> Um, no one has signed up to speak this 141 00:40:49.359 --> 00:41:05.200 evening. Mr. Ponte, anybody virtually? >> No. >> No. So, nobody has signed up to >> But I would like to take this time if uh not to put you on the spot, Coach uh White, if you could just kind of introduce yourself to the board. We know you as Coach White, but just give us a 142 00:41:05.200 --> 00:41:23.599 little bit about your background and uh you know what we can expect coming in this school year. >> Tell us how many championships you got. >> Um well, first my name is Jamal White as I uh know me as coach White or Jamal White. Um, you know, I told the players 143 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:38.480 and and the people actually my foundation was in in Winslow. So, I actually started teaching and mentoring in Winslow. So, it's it's a blessing to be back here and be able to get back in another capacity. You know, Khlo was one of the guys that I first started working 144 00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:55.520 with as a coach. Some of the guys you might know as Brandon Jones and um Brandon Cross and some of the guys that you see on the walls and things like that. So, it's definitely a blessing to be back here doing that. Um, as far as a championship caliber guy that I, um, you know, Mr. Thomas is asking about, I've 145 00:41:55.520 --> 00:42:12.720 coached at, uh, Timber Creek and Woodbury High School where I actually have seven state championships. So, >> yeah, I know. That's the thing. So, we're going to bring that culture um over. Actually, it's been a great foundation here, a great culture. One thing I always said 146 00:42:12.720 --> 00:42:28.800 is Winsow's always been a winning program. Um, the standard is winning, and that's one of the things we're going to continue. we want to continue to win. Um, but one of the things I want to definitely embrace kids is that we are we are men first. We're not just football players, but we're men. So, we're going to take that aspect into the classroom. We're going to take that 147 00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:45.359 aspect into the community. Um, and then we're also going to go on the field and do what we have to do on the field as well and dominate the teams we go against. At the end of the day, it's going out going to college, graduating, being able to stand in front of people like um yourselves and then go into interviews and present themselves well, shaking hands, looking people in the 148 00:42:45.359 --> 00:43:02.359 face, looking them in the eye, and doing things the right way. So, we can continue to bring a shining light upon the community, upon the program, upon Wizard Township School District. So, that's my purpose. That's my goal, and that's what we're going to come to starting this year. >> Sounds good. >> Thank you. 149 00:43:05.359 --> 00:43:21.920 All right.
