D
B
A
Our
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
that,
throughout
the
district,
we've
had
a
number
of
people
close
to
employees
close
to
people
in
the
district
who
have
passed
away
and
we've
often
memorialized
people
through
a
donation
of
a
book
to
a
library
within
the
district.
And
we
have
a
number
of
these
recognitions
and
memorials
that
we'd
like
to
read
off
tonight
and
there's
five
of
them
I'm
going
to
read
those
off.
A
A
Janet
burgoon,
mother
of
Teresa
veskovi,
the
elementary
teacher
at
Ben,
Franklin,
Elementary
School,
and
that
book
would
be
donated
to
Ben
Franklin,
Library,
Gerard,
Cuomo,
Cuomo,
father
of
Jenny
Wessel
speech
and
language
teacher
at
George,
Washington,
Elementary,
and
that
will
be
donated
to
the
George
Washington
library
and
then
William
blo
senior,
father
of
Jennifer
Callahan,
special
education
teacher
at
Bethel,
Park,
High,
School,
and
that
book
will
be
donated
to
the
Ben,
Franklin,
Library
and
so
I.
Think
Mr
Bruce
is
the
the
one
who
is
here.
F
I
A
A
I
Yeah,
so
the
biggest
thing
that
we've
had
going
on
right
now
would
be
Socktober,
which
is
a
donation
drive
that
we've
been
holding
throughout
the
community.
It
started
at
the
high
school,
but
we've
able
we've
been
able
to
get
donation
boxes
at
IMs,
nams,
the
YMCA
and
the
community
center.
So
that's
been
running
out
throughout
the
entire
month
and
next
week
we're
going
to
go,
collect
all
the
socks
and
then
probably
next
weekend,
we're
going
to
take
them
to
Light
of
Life.
I
We've
been
in
contact
with
light
of
life,
and
they
said
that
socks
are
one
of
the
most
important
donations
that
they
need,
especially
for
the
upcoming
winter
months.
So
we're
hoping
to
make
this
potentially
an
annual
thing.
Some
random
things
that
have
been
going
on
throughout
the
high
school
would
be
our
homeroom
rep
meetings,
which
we
have
once
a
month.
J
There
will
also
be
various
Halloween
activities
for
students
tomorrow
there
will
be
a
Halloween
door
decorating
contest
where
all
home
rooms
at
the
high
school
will
have
an
opportunity
to
compete,
and
students
from
SGA
will
determine
the
winners.
This
is
ran
by
sga's
publicity
committee.
There
will
also
be
a
trick-or-treat
event
for
preschoolers
this
Thursday
October
27th,
and
this
is
ran
by
sga's
random
acts
of
kindness
committee.
Then
starting
this
Wednesday
there
will
be
a
Halloween
Spirit
Week,
where
tomorrow
is
crazy.
J
G
And
I
have
the
school
board
report
for
all
of
the
schools,
starting
off
with
Abraham
Lincoln.
They
had
their
Scholastic
Book
Fair,
which
was
a
huge
success.
Everyone
loved
getting
to
shop
for
new
books
with
their
class.
Thank
you
to
all
of
the
Lincoln
families
for
volunteering
and
purchasing
books
to
help
the
library,
air
Fall
Festival,
had
a
fantastic
turnout
and
raised
money
to
support
the
fourth
grade,
they're
so
thankful
to
everyone
who
volunteered
donated
and
came
out
to
support
Lincoln
from
Ben
Franklin
Ben
Franklin
had
a
busy
October.
G
This
past
week
the
mad
science
of
Pittsburgh
put
on
a
spooky
science
assembly
for
the
school
and
George
Washington's,
Trunk
or
Treat
event.
Was
this
past
Saturday
from
William
Penn.
They
also
had
a
busy
October.
They
had
a
successful
week-long
book
fair.
In
addition
to
the
book,
fair
Penn
had
has
its
annual
Fall
Festival
on
the
27th.
G
The
event
is
free
to
the
families
and
the
PTO
provides
a
bounce
house,
hot
cider,
popcorn
tattoos
and
much
more
it's
one
of
their
favorite
events
and
is
always
a
huge
success
from
Neil
Armstrong.
The
nams
PTO
has
been
busy
with
several
events,
most
notably
their
Color
Run
and
family
bingo.
Both
were
a
ton
of
fun
and
huge
success.
A
huge
thank
you
to
the
volunteers,
Mr
Patterson
and
the
maintenance
team
at
nams.
None
of
the
events
would
be
a
success
without
them
and
Independence
Middle
School.
G
K
L
E
E
E
For
this
month's
strategic
plan
report,
I'm
focusing
on
curriculum
and
instruction
goals,
I
started
these
progress
reports
back
in
the
spring
I've
gone
through
all
all
through
six
focused
areas
or
buckets
as
we
called
them,
and
now
we're
circling
back
to
the
beginning,
again,
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we've
made
good
progress
on
three
goals
and
action.
Steps
in
this
Focus
area
since
I
last
reported
to
you
first
is
the
goal
for
a
complete
curriculum
review
and
program
updates.
E
We
are
smack
in
the
middle
of
a
curriculum
mapping
project
to
get
each
and
every
course
mapped
and
in
doing
so,
ensure
it's
up
to
date
and
aligned
to
the
PA
standards
as
well
as
bless
you
as
the
preceding
and
proceeding
courses.
Our
Atlas
mapping
system
is
up
and
running
and
slowly
getting
filled
with
course,
curriculum.
E
E
E
E
E
Each
tier
gets
more
involved,
more
systematic,
more
explicit
and
more
teacher
directed.
We
talk
about
the
just
right,
leveled
books
for
kids.
So
too
should
our
interventions
be
just
right
and
we're
working
to
firmly
establish
the
scope
and
curriculum
of
our
existing
intervention
programs
and
we're
piloting
a
new
Intervention
Program
at
nams.
This
fall
tied
to
this
goal
is
our
map
testing
program
now
in
its
second
year.
E
It's
worth
saying
over
and
over
again
that
these
goals
with
these
goals
were
talking
about
seismic
shifts
in
our
foundations,
updating
or
outright
changing
the
cornerstones
or
keystones
of
our
curriculum.
This
takes
time
to
accomplish.
It
takes
even
more
time
for
it
to
produce
the
long-term
academic
growth
we
seek
in
becoming
Best
in
Class.
E
M
We
have
five
big
things.
Of
course,
there's
always
more
than
five
wonderful
things
happening
at
Bethel
Park
at
any
moment,
but
we
always
have
to
eliminate
it.
Just
five
and
our
five
big
things
here
this
month
are
especially
outstanding.
Earlier
today,
members
of
the
Bethel
Park
baseball
team,
the
back
to
back
state
champions,
were
recognized
by
state
legislatures
at
the
state
capitol
in
Harrisburg,
the
Hawks
baseball
team,
which
captured
the
program's
second
consecutive
State
title
and
third
in
program
history.
The
other
was
1988..
M
They
were
formerly
introduced
by
the
senate
in
the
Senate
by
Devlin
Robinson,
and
then
the
house
by
representative
Natalie
mihalik.
It
was
wonderful,
they
had
a
great
time
and
then
they
afterwards
went
and
supported
our
girls,
tennis
team,
which
was
competing
for
the
first
time
ever
in
the
state
tournament.
So
pretty
exciting.
Stuff
number
two
is
the
Franklin
book
blast
in
September
Franklin
had
a
book
blast
that
raised
23
000
that
allowed
them
to
buy
1900
titles,
which
were
then
distributed
to
each
of
their
students.
M
Each
student
walked
away
with
between
three
and
ten
titles
to
increase
their
home
Library.
The
idea
is
to
create
more
readers,
which
creates
more
scholarships,
so
we
are
very
excited
about
that.
They
also
were
able
to
donate
sixteen
hundred
dollars
to
their
PTO,
so
the
book
best
was
fabulously
successful
and
it
was
a
great
event.
M
The
third
big
one
was
the
last
week
was
national
school
bus
safety
week
and
the
district
celebrated
it
with
a
variety
of
initiatives
designed
to
promote
student
safety
on
school
buses
and
to
remind
those
who
work
in
the
district's
transportation
department
just
how
important
they
are
to
the
educational
process.
They
are
the
first
face.
Our
students
see
in
the
morning
and
they're
often
the
last
District
face
they
see
at
night
and
if
they
can't
deliver
our
kids
safely
to
school,
then
nothing
else.
We
do
matters.
M
M
Next
up
is
this
is
a
special
one.
A
young
man
named
Brock
Kitterman
who's,
a
senior
he
was
featured
earlier
today
on
this
hits
different,
which
is
a
weekly
radio
segment
on
the
fan,
which
is
an
all
sports
radio
ship
station
in
Pittsburgh,
and
it
focuses
on
some
of
the
most
compelling
human
interest
stories
involving
local
high
school
student
athletes.
Kitterman
suffers
from
a
condition
called
deafblindness
the
result
of
a
Childhood,
Cancer
and
chemotherapy
treatment,
which
rendered
him
blind
and
mostly
deaf,
rather
than
submit
to
his
condition.
M
M
M
The
family
friendly
play
is
set
in
the
1950s
and
there's
about
a
small
but
close-knit
and
slightly
dysfunctional
Pittsburgh
radio
station
wondering
if
they
will
have
one
last
Christmas
show
before
television
takes
over
for
good
Theater,
Arts,
Teacher,
Courtney,
Williams
wrote
and
is
directing
the
play
and
I
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
those
kids
and
they're.
Pretty
wonderful,
so
I
encourage
everyone
to
go
and
see
it.
That's
all
I
have.
N
What
was
really
something
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
was
present
was
the
student
voice
in
this
process
and
in
one
of
our
recent
meetings
we
were
tasked
Mr,
sleazak
and
I
for
really
starting
to
examine
what
an
inclusive
playground
could
look
like
for
our
students
in
the
new
Elementary
Center,
and
we
decided
that
the
best
way
to
find
out
how
to
build
an
inclusive
playground
would
be
go
out
and
talk
to
the
kids.
And
so
we
visited
each
of
the
four
five
elementary
schools.
N
We
randomly
selected
one
fourth
grade
class
from
every
building
and
we
went
out
to
those
classrooms.
Sorry
went
out
to
the
playground
and
met
with
the
students
on
the
playground,
and
we
really
wanted
to
know
more
about
how
they
feel
when
they're
on
the
playground
what
they
like
to
do,
what
they
don't
like
to
do,
and
so
We
examined
three
questions
specifically
with
the
students
when
you're
on
the
playground.
What
are
your
favorite
types
of
things
to
do
or
things
that
bring
you
Joy?
N
What
keeps
you
from
playing
relaxing
or
socializing
on
the
playground
recess
is
not
always
a
great
experience
for
every
kid.
So
that
was
something
that
we
really
wanted
to
consider.
The
last
one
was
a
lot
of
fun
dreaming
as
big
as
you
can.
What
would
you
love
to
see
in
a
new
playground,
so
there
you
can
see
Mr
sleazak,
very
much,
inspiring
and
engaging
the
children.
We
have
a
lot
of
fun
out
with
the
kids.
They
took
their
job
very
very
seriously
and
we
utilized
a
design
strategy.
N
Mr
sleazak
is
our
human
centered
design
expert,
and
so
we
use
Post-it
notes
to
make
sure
that
every
student
had
a
voice,
often
time
where
you
ask
kids,
to
raise
your
hand,
you
only
get
a
certain
amount
of
answers
and
not
every
kid
raises
their
hand.
So
we
asked
each
individual
question:
gave
the
students
three
to
four
minutes
to
go
out,
find
a
place
on
the
playground
and
to
generate
as
many
ideas
as
they
could
to
ideate
rapidly,
and
so
once
they
turn
back
in
their
answers
to
us.
N
For
each
of
those
three
questions,
we
have
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
ideas
from
the
kids.
There
were
some
common
themes
that
were
jumping
out
some
things
that
were
unique
to
each
school
or
to
each
question.
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
going
back
through
that
data
and
really
trying
to
understand
what
the
kids
want
and
don't
want
in
an
inclusive
playground.
So
it
was
a
real,
a
lot
of
fun
and
a
really
really
bright
spot.
In
our
days,
foreign.
O
Thank
you
this
evening,
I
will
be
talking
about
the
ACT
158
graduation
Pathways.
These
are
for
our
current
high
school
students
and
the
students
that
will
be
coming
through
the
high
school
and
to
start
that
off.
I
want
to
do
a
shout
out
to
the
student
services
department,
Dr,
Minch,
Dr
Shu
and
our
school
psychologist
that
every
month
we
they
hold
a
family
engagement
series,
and
so
we
blast
this
out
and
we
have
a
topic,
and
this
month's
topic
was
assessment
literacy.
And
so
please
look
for
information
on
those.
O
Every
month
there
will
be
a
new
topic.
We
have
a
virtual
option
and
an
in-person
option
when
we
can
to
try
to
accommodate
as
many
parents
and
families
as
possible,
and
so
this
month
on,
Thursday
October
20th.
We
talked
about
assessment
literacy
and
one
of
the
items
that
we
talked
about
are
some
of
the
updates
that
have
happened
in
the
five
graduation
Pathways,
and
so
with
the
covid
experience
for
our
students.
O
The
state
did
update
the
Keystone
composite
score,
that
it
allows
students
that
receive
that
non-numeric
proficient
during
the
Keystone
year,
1920
to
use
a
combination
of
scores
to
meet
the
graduation
proficiency
to
graduate
on
that
pathway,
and
so
this
information
we
did
update
the
website
this
month.
So
if
you
are
a
parent
of
a
high
school
student
and
would
like
to
see
the
updated
information,
it
is
there
on
the
web
page
and
the
team
at
the
high
school
Mr
villani
Mr
Krasinski,
Mr,
fodzie,
Mrs,
fronzak
myself
and
Mrs
figlioli.
O
We
do
meet
twice
a
month
to
discuss
and
make
sure
that
all
of
the
students
are
on
a
pathway
that
is
appropriate
and
correct
for
them,
and
their
educational
outcomes
and
I
do
want
to
thank
Mrs,
Michaels,
Mrs,
Smith,
Mr,
Lorenzi,
Mr
Bruce,
our
assistant
Stacy,
klosik
and
Jenny
katrufas,
because
tracking
400
students
in
each
grade
level
through
multiple
classes,
tests,
experiences
portfolios.
It
is
a
lot
a
lot
of
work,
but
we
are
going
to
make
sure
that
every
one
of
our
students
is
on
a
graduation
pathway.
O
And
if
there
are
any
questions,
please
feel
free
free
to
reach
out
to
one
of
us.
You
can
also
find
more
information
such
as
these
nice
little
graphics
on
the
pde
SAS
website.
It
is
going
to
be
linked
to
this
presentation,
which
we
will
put
up
on
the
curriculum
page
as
a
PDF,
so
that
you
can
directly
access
the
links.
If
you
would
like
more
information,
but
the
five
pathways
again
just
quickly
to
review,
you
can
pass
all
of
the
tests
for
Bio,
algebra
and
literature
or
receive
an
nnp
that
non-numeric
proficient.
O
If
you
had
one
of
those
courses
during
the
1920
covet
year,
you
now
can
get
an
average
as
long
as
you
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
not
an
average.
As
long
as
you
add
up
to
a
certain
composite
score,
you
can
count
that
as
your
composite
pathway
and
then
students
that
the
Keystone
testing
is
not
the
pathway
that
they
want
to
utilize
for
graduation.
If
they
are
one
of
our
Career
Technical
concentrator
students,
they
can
use
a
knock
the
exam
or
some
industry
credentialing.
O
In
order
to
meet
that
requirement,
students
can
use
some
of
the
AP
exams,
the
SATs,
the
PSATs,
the
ASVAB
exam
and
other
items
during
that
alternative
assessment
pathway,
or
there
is
a
way
that
students
can
create
a
portfolio
of
certain
evidences
to
ensure
that
they
have
met
the
requirements
set
by
the
state
to
graduate
and
so
again
more
information
can
be
found
on
the
website.
It's
a
page
that
looks
like
this
on
the
website.
That's
been
updated
or
you
can
contact
the
high
school
or
central
office.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
tonight.
E
L
N
Because
I
don't
know,
if
we
can
make
that
happen
there,
they
were
very
realistic.
There
were
a
few
like
out
wild
dreams,
but
they
were,
they
took
it
very
serious.
It
was
very
interesting
to
watch
the
first
question.
They
were
all
kind
of
they
don't
lump
together
with
their
friends
and
but
when
you
got
to
ask
them
what
they
didn't
like
or
what
they
were
uncomfortable
about,
you
saw
them
kind
of
sneak
away
to
somewhere
a
little
more
privately
or
ask
one
of
us.
Will
you
put
this
on
the
board?

Q

And
then
the
next
two
Ms
Turner
are
ARS
administrative
regulations.
They
won't
require
board
vote,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
the
board
was
aware
that
these
things
were
being
put
into
place
relative
to
our
homeless
requirements
under
Pennsylvania
code
and
federal
code.
So
these
are
referral
procedures
and
which
would
be
administrative
to
follow
and
then
the
documentation,
a
form
that
we're
going
to
use
as
well.
So
this
would
line
up
with
an
existing
policy
on
homeless
students.
E
A
Said
that
maybe
a
very
basic
question
and
know
this,
but
you
know
we
talk
about
a
lot
of
policies.
You
know
every
week
we
get
some
on
the
agenda.
We've
got
these
ARS.
That
kind
of
help
us
Implement
a
lot
of
things.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
documentation.
How?
How
do
we
ensure
that
you
know
people
are
aware
of
these
and
that
you
know
if
there
is
a
problem,
they
can
associate
that
with
the
policy
or
an
AR
or
something
like
that
I
mean
I.
Could
I
can
see
this
being
overwhelming
for
people?
A
H
A
A
T
F
If
the
public
is
ever,
you
know
curious
about
a
particular
policy.
They
can
go
search,
Bethel,
Park,
Board,
docs
and
there's
a
policy
tap
on
the
top,
and
it's
actually
organized
pretty
well
in
terms
of
category,
and
if
you
want
to
search
by
keywords
say
like
for
bullying,
for
example,
you
can
see
the
associated
policies
that
will
pop
up.
It's
I
think
one
of
the
few
things
on
board
docs
that
actually
does
work
quite
well
and
is
pretty
easy
to
navigate.
Q
A
D
Thomas
Archer
10
12
volt
gun
Drive
I'm,
asking
for
continued
support
from
the
board
for
inclusion
measures
in
the
district
I
know
you
were
under
pressure
from
a
noisy
minority
of
citizens
who
believe
that
diversity
and
inclusion
initiatives
are
designed
to
make
white
kids
feel
bad.
They
aren't
as
a
child
I,
once
sat
down
at
the
lunch
table
and
folded,
my
hands
to
say
a
prayer.
I
only
did
this
once
because
I
was
immediately
mocked
and
teased.
D
The
point
of
the
story
is
that
discrimination
doesn't
discriminate
and
inclusion
initiatives
have
as
much
positive
impact
on
straight
white
Christian
men
as
they
do
on
black
lesbian
Muslim
women.
Also
inclusion
does
not
mean
approval.
Seven-Year-Old
Thomas
did
not
need
or
want
the
approval
of
any
atheist
before
praying.
D
Similarly,
the
students
in
this
District
do
not
want
or
need
anyone's
approval
to
be
who
they
are
I'm
sure
you've
heard
people
claim
that
school
should
only
focus
on
education,
but
they
don't
really
mean
that
nobody's
demanding
to
cut
the
sports
programs,
because
everyone
recognizes
their
value,
even
if
they
don't
make
anyone
better
at
algebra.
Inclusion
has
value
as
well.
Furthermore,
it's
worth
noticing
noting
that,
while
most
Americans
are
registered
as
Republicans
Or
democrats,
60
of
us,
don't
actually
identify
as
belonging
to
either
party.
D
This
is
because
Americans
see
both
parties,
not
just
the
other
party,
but
both
parties
is
increasingly
extreme
and
exclusionary.
There
is
a
new
silent
majority
in
America
and
we
are
counting
on
you
to
stand
up
and
keep
this
asinine
culture
War
out
of
our
schools.
Growing
up
is
hard
enough
without
having
to
worry
about
if
it
is
safe
to
pray
or
safe,
to
be
gay
in
front
of
your
classmates.
Quite
frankly,
so
is
teaching.
Thank
you.
U
U
U
In
that
vein,
I
believe
this
board
should
be
doing
all
that
it
can
to
help
our
troubled
and
victimized
students,
because,
while
I
don't
have
much
intro
on
yesterday's
shooter,
the
results
are
in
from
most
of
the
others.
Before
those
kids
turned
into
monsters,
they
were
victims,
victims
of
abuse
at
home
online
at
school
or
at
some
combination
of
the
above
that
those
who
maybe
could
have
been
helped
before
they
decided
that
the
best
layout
was
to
commit
an
atrocity
is
so
awful
that
there
would
no
longer
be
considered
victims.
U
U
H
P
I
did
have
a
comment
earlier
about
steel
Center
totally
forgot,
I
attended
the
ninth
graders
at
the
high
school
had
an
assembly
this
morning
with
steel,
Center
Representatives
coming
Shannon
Henson
is
the
school
counselor
there
and
he
brought
a
school
advisor
and
the
kids
were
exposed
to
every
single
program
that
steel
Center
has
to
offer.
There's
a
video
and
you
can
actually
go
to
YouTube
and
find
it.
P
It
covers
every
program,
and
so
our
ninth
graders
got
a
very
good
dose
of
the
trades
this
morning
and
what's
available
to
them
when
scheduling
starts
in
March
or
February,
the
intent
is
maybe
to
have
a
parent
Knight
here
to
expose
parents
to
everything
that's
available
to
their
children
at
Steel
Center.
So
it
was
great,
it
was
a
it
was.
You
know
the
kids
were
attentive
and
and
learned
a
lot.
P
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Brock.
Kiderman
I
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
him
in
the
most
unlikely
place,
which
was
a
an
active
shooter
simulation
at
South
Hills
Village
Mall.
Last
year
we
were
both
there
and
I
had
had
the
opportunity
to
chat
with
him.
He
is
a
lovely
lovely
young
man
and
I'm
just
so
proud
of
his
accomplishments.
He's
he's
a
warrior,
so
congratulations
to
Brock.
C
A
Q
V
Oh
okay,
just
a
follow-up.
We
gave
a
shout
out
for
the
college
fair
and
we
had
conversations
regards
to
trade
and
Tech,
but
just
as
an
announcement
and
I
missed,
Mr
cromey
has
put
this
up
already.
There
is
the
South
Hills
trading
Tech
Fair
on
November
1st,
from
6
to
8
P.M,
which
would
be
at
Peters
Township
High
School,
which
is
121
Rolling,
Hills
Drive
in
McMurray
PA,
and
it
will
have
multiple,
multiple
vendors,
there
contractors
and
so
forth.
It's
open
to
all
the
students
in
the
South
Hill
school
districts
just
to
follow
up.
V
S
Thank
you,
Mr
mantrack
I
want
to
update
on
a
few
things.
First,
I
want
to
give
our
Administration
both
here
in
this
building
and
the
administration
and
all
of
our
buildings
and
our
teaching
staff.
A
huge
huge
shout
out
for
all
of
the
progress
on
the
Strategic
plan.
It
is
a
tremendous
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
you
have
led
it
so
well
and
organized
it
all
so
well,
thank
you
very
much.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time
to
get
all
of
these
things
updated
and
to
move
forward
and
grow
and
learn
and
become
better
together.
S
So
thank
you
shout
out
to
Ben
Franklin
for
their
wonderful
book
project
that
was
so
exciting
to
hear
that
some
kids
got
to
take
like
10
books
home
that
just
made
my
heart
smile.
That
was
wonderful
and
happy
Transportation
week.
Is
it
Transportation
week
school
bus
safety
week,
so
all
the
transportation
department
they
are
wonderful.
S
S
One
of
the
things
that
makes
me
so
very
happy
about
the
Elementary
Center
is
that,
for
the
first
time
we
are
going
to
have
students
who
traditionally
have
been
in
separate
buildings
and
other
students
haven't
been
around
to
know
and
become
friends
with
students
who
use
wheelchairs
or
Walkers
or
different
assistive
devices,
and
for
the
first
time,
we're
going
to
have
the
opportunity
for
children
to
know
one
another
in
an
accessible
playground.
Is
so
important
for
that.
S
So
thank
you
for
doing
that
and
on
a
side
note,
a
communication
board
for
a
playground
for
our
students,
who
aren't
speaking,
would
be
absolutely
I
might
cry.
Yes,
yes,
so
that
they
can
communicate
and
ask
their
friends
if
they
want
to
swing
or
awesome.
I
can't
wait
for
that
truly,
and
the
last
thing
is
Sunday
November
6th
day
of
healing
with
the
municipality.
S
It's
at
the
community
center
from
1
to
4
30,
and
it's
a
time
and
a
space
for
the
community
to
come
together
and
share
about
grief
and
loss
and
healing
and
I
did
want
to
provide
the
update
that,
thanks
for
the
connection
from
Mrs
francook
at
the
high
school
they've
contacted
the
Caring
Place,
which
does
work
specifically
with
Children
and
Youth,
and
their
families
and
they're
sending
materials
and
activities
and
may
be
there
to
speak
at
a
table.
So
there
will
be
specific
things
for
children
who
are
going
through
grief
and
loss
as
well.
S
A
Tonight's
topic
was
again
curriculum,
which
you
did
six
months
ago
and
we'll
get
around
each
one
of
these
topics
every
six
months,
but
this
goal
this
topic
is,
is
the
it's
the
reason
we're
here?
Okay,
this
is
job
one
and
what
he
talked
about
tonight
was
this
step.
One
of
getting
a
curriculum
down
on
paper
and
I,
see
that
as
the
first
step
before
we
can
finally
have
an
integrated
event
and
continuous
curriculum.
A
You
know
a
curriculum
continuity
all
the
way
through
from
kindergarten
to
12th
grade,
and
you
can't
get
there
unless
you
do
that
step.
One
of
writing
it
down
and
evaluating
it.
You
know
what
what
areas
are
we
missing?
You
know
how
do
we
enhance
certain
classes,
certain
grade
levels-
and
this
is
just
fantastic?
Okay,
and
you
know
it's
such
a
a
great
benefit
of
the
work
we
all
put.
You
know
across
the
whole
community
that
work
in
a
strategic
plan,
so
great
job
to
everybody.
I
mean
this
again.
This
is
job
one.
