analyzes match data 16 00:00:40.173 --> 00:00:43.143 so that we can better strategize that competitions. 17 00:00:43.209 --> 00:00:46.646 And now I am a programmer slash starter 18 00:00:47.113 -->

--> 00:01:04.330 I am also in science there. 24 00:01:04.330 --> 00:01:07.100 I've only done science for for two years. 25 00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:09.436 One of those years I built a diffusion 26 00:01:09.436 --> 00:01:12.906 cloud chamber and studied secondary cosmic particles. 27 00:01:13.106 --> 00:01:15.542 Like you could actually watch them whiz by the chamber. 28 00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:16.943 It was amazing. 29 00:01:16.943 --> 00:01:19.045 And I got a first place medal for that project. 30 00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:21.581 I also have a bunch of 31 00:01:21.581 --> 00:01:24.584 personal projects that I work on outside of school. 32 00:01:24.651 --> 00:01:28.822 I love to draw lasers and I hope to publish a book in the near future. 33 00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:32.325 And I also love modifying video games 34 00:01:32.325 --> 00:01:35.328 and uploading add ons to the internet. 35 00:01:36.229 --> 00:01:39.032 I am very involved in my community. 36 00:01:39.032 --> 00:01:42.035 I am a Boy Scout and I am also an Eagle Scout. 37 00:01:42.469 --> 00:01:45.138 And coincidentally, my favorite service project 38 00:01:45.138 --> 00:01:48.341 that I ever completed was through my Eagle Scout rank. 39 00:01:48.842 --> 00:01:51.811 I planted five trees and almost house 40 00:01:51.811 --> 00:01:54.781 on, I think, South Hanover Street. 41 00:01:54.948 --> 00:01:57.684 It's the street with 7-Eleven on it. 42 00:01:57.684 --> 00:02:00.820 He might have passed it, but yeah, there are five trees. 43 00:02:00.854 --> 00:02:02.555 It was an incredible project. 44 00:02:02.555 --> 00:02:06.259 I had to work with the Hummelstown Borough and several local businesses 45 00:02:06.693 --> 00:02:09.963 to make sure I didn't accidentally hit any gas lines when I was digging. 46 00:02:10.964 --> 00:02:13.967 I mean, wow, it was a big project. 47 00:02:14.234 --> 00:02:15.902 When I got out of school. 48 00:02:15.902 --> 00:02:18.671 I really hoped to attend college. 49 00:02:18.671 --> 00:02:22.142 That would be nice and my dream school is Carnegie Mellon. 50 00:02:22.442 --> 00:02:25.211 I would like to study computer science. 51 00:02:25.211 --> 00:02:29.382 I mean, kind of You know, it's a really hard school. 52 00:02:29.516 --> 00:02:31.818 All I can do is help my dad in. 53 00:02:31.818 --> 00:02:33.186 I have other schools. 54 00:02:33.186 --> 00:02:35.088 But yeah, 55 00:02:35.088 --> 00:02:38.625 thank you very much again for recognizing me with this award. 56 00:02:39.425 --> 00:02:42.428 Thank you. 57 00:02:47.767 --> 00:02:50.803 I'd

at the 322 field, 60 00:02:57.477 --> 00:03:00.380 and when I left, we were up one nothing and it was halftime. 61 00:03:00.380 --> 00:03:01.614 We're up to nothing. 62 00:03:01.614 --> 00:03:03.917 Okay, so we're up to nothing if you have time. 63 00:03:03.917 --> 00:03:04.884 And also if your hockey 64 00:03:04.884 --> 00:03:07.120 is playing on Wednesday for first year in a playoff, too. 65

Mrs. 93 00:04:21.361 --> 00:04:23.229 Seger, to please keep that time. 94 00:04:23.229 --> 00:04:26.332 Are there any residents or taxpayers who would like to comment at this time? 95 00:04:27.033 --> 00:04:28.468 I'll start in person. 96 00:04:29.702 --> 00:04:31.170 I don't see anyone 97 00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:34.941 there, so we will move to virtual participants. 98 00:04:34.941 --> 00:04:37.944 If you would like to participate, please raise your virtual hand at this time. 99 00:04:46.953 --> 00:04:47.487 Seeing none. 100 00:04:47.487 --> 00:04:51.224 I will close the first public comment period and move on 101 00:04:51.224 --> 00:04:52.592 to standing Committee reports. 102 00:04:52.592 --> 00:04:55.561 Finance and General Services Standing Committee spent today. Mr. 103 00:04:55.561 --> 00:04:58.364 Rizzo, do you have your General Services report, please? 104 00:04:58.364 --> 00:04:58.865 I do. 105 00:04:58.865 --> 00:05:03.136 So bear with me as I was using new technology 106 00:05:03.136 --> 00:05:06.205 and didn't realize you had to save every page when you were doing notes. 107 00:05:06.239 --> 00:05:09.242 So I will go by memory here. 108 00:05:09.275 --> 00:05:13.146 So in unfinished business, I think the key conversation 109 00:05:13.146 --> 00:05:16.149 was with the update on the elementary facility study. 110 00:05:16.749 --> 00:05:19.485 Dr. Winslow gave us an update of where they are 111 00:05:19.485 --> 00:05:22.488 with the elementary school in the concepts 112 00:05:22.488 --> 00:05:26.392 for going forward and in handling the 113 00:05:26.859 --> 00:05:30.897 the uptick or the improvements to the elementary building. 114 00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:33.132 And again, this is not the S.E.C. building. 115 00:05:33.132 --> 00:05:38.071 This is really looking at a holistic approach for primary elementary. 116 00:05:38.538 --> 00:05:42.141 So our LPs has completed this study. 117 00:05:42.942 --> 00:05:48.481 As far as a preliminary stage, they're working to finalize that 118 00:05:48.815 --> 00:05:52.752 and then bring back the review concepts on 119 00:05:53.486 --> 00:05:58.591 11 eight for a final draft review to this, the school district 120 00:05:59.058 --> 00:06:02.528 and then at the 1115 ad hoc facilities meeting, 121 00:06:02.929 --> 00:06:06.966 the administration will provide that in and along with our LPs 122 00:06:06.966 --> 00:06:10.636 to the ad hoc committee during that time frame. 123 00:06:11.003 --> 00:06:14.440 And then the tentative presentation to the board 124 00:06:14.440 --> 00:06:18.044 would be 1121 for final report and presentation. 125 00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:21.180 Okay. 126 00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:23.883 The other the other items underneath 127 00:06:23.883 --> 00:06:26.552 Unfinished business, again, were just updates by Mr. 128 00:06:26.552 --> 00:06:29.522 Anderson for the parking lot projects, 129 00:06:30.289 --> 00:06:33.393 the concession stand, and also the retention patient update. 130 00:06:34.394 --> 00:06:36.796 Currently, we just received the concession 131 00:06:36.796 --> 00:06:39.799 stand update plan 132 00:06:39.866 --> 00:06:43.936 and we'll be bringing to the board for approval to go out for bid 133 00:06:45.138 --> 00:06:46.439 within the next meeting. 134 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.177 So be looking forward to that at the board parking Lot project. 135 00:06:51.177 --> 00:06:56.582 And also the retention basin are still under review and are waiting for 136 00:06:57.884 --> 00:07:02.422 clarity as to what the cost may be too to handle those situations. 137 00:07:02.422 --> 00:07:06.893 And again, that's for the softball field parking, the memorial field parking 138 00:07:07.627 --> 00:07:10.630 and and stormwater 139 00:07:11.531 --> 00:07:15.301 remediation for water going into the dugouts and the baseball fields. 140 00:07:15.435 --> 00:07:19.806 Again, this is funded primarily by the gaming Commission 141 00:07:20.173 --> 00:07:23.409 and the funding that came from Dauphin County. 142 00:07:24.277 --> 00:07:27.780 And then the last thing for new business, Mr. 143 00:07:27.780 --> 00:07:32.185 Anderson, came came to the group with Mr. 144 00:07:32.185 --> 00:07:34.320 Kressley from train. 145 00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:36.656 We have there was a during 146 00:07:36.656 --> 00:07:41.727 the COVID time, there was a heating unit that brought in ventilation 147 00:07:41.727 --> 00:07:45.264 air from the outside in to try and recirculate air at a better, 148 00:07:45.865 --> 00:07:50.837 larger volume from the outside, too, to kind of purge the rooms prior to 149 00:07:52.004 --> 00:07:55.007 the prior to the day starting. 150 00:07:55.441 --> 00:07:58.478 There apparently must have been some type of a power outage or something 151 00:07:58.478 --> 00:08:02.348 that that occurred with that unit that caused a heating. 152 00:08:03.049 --> 00:08:04.517 And I forget what he called it. 153 00:08:04.517 --> 00:08:09.155 It was either a heating element or a drum that heated the air. 154 00:08:09.388 --> 00:08:11.424 That was very cool at the time 155 00:08:11.424 --> 00:08:15.728 to bring it up to speed or bring it up to par for the classroom temperature. 156 00:08:15.728 --> 00:08:18.998 So that failed, thus causing some damage 157 00:08:18.998 --> 00:08:22.869 to some of the the coils that are in these units. 158 00:08:22.869 --> 00:08:24.904 Two out of three units were were damaged. 159 00:08:24.904 --> 00:08:31.410 So there was a price tag that'll be coming to the board 160 00:08:31.410 --> 00:08:36.883 for approval somewhere in the neighborhood of 19 $97,000 to replace these coils. 161 00:08:36.883 --> 00:08:41.153 So it is small and it's a large ticket item, 162 00:08:41.153 --> 00:08:45.591 but it's small in comparison to having to replace these units that are 163 00:08:46.792 --> 00:08:49.262 no longer a 164 00:08:49.262 --> 00:08:50.363 serviceable item. 165 00:08:50.363 --> 00:08:53.366 I wouldn't say serviceable, but they're no longer 166 00:08:53.432 --> 00:08:55.101 this model is no longer available. 167 00:08:55.101 --> 00:08:58.137 So it would have to be a full retrofit in 168 00:08:58.137 --> 00:09:02.508 in addition of these units for the high school, I believe. 169 00:09:02.575 --> 00:09:03.576 Correct. 170 00:09:03.576 --> 00:09:06.579 So it's something that will will take place. 171 00:09:07.213 --> 00:09:10.349 There's no immediate risk for the wintertime. 172 00:09:10.349 --> 00:09:13.252 This is not something that creates the heating and cooling. 173 00:09:13.252 --> 00:09:16.255 It's just really bringing the outside air in. 174 00:09:16.422 --> 00:09:17.924 And we did have damage before. 175 00:09:17.924 --> 00:09:20.459 So we still have, 176 00:09:20.459 --> 00:09:23.462 you know, proper ventilation and bringing in fresh air. 177 00:09:23.729 --> 00:09:26.933 It's just we may be bringing in too much at this point in time. 178 00:09:26.933 --> 00:09:29.869 Correct. So the cold is a little colder than normal. 179 00:09:29.869 --> 00:09:32.872 So but we're okay 180 00:09:33.005 --> 00:09:35.775 at this point in time based upon their their 181 00:09:36.976 --> 00:09:38.010 discussion. 182 00:09:38.010 --> 00:09:41.948 And I believe that will also be coming to the 1121 board for approval. 183 00:09:41.948 --> 00:09:47.620 So we'll be looking to get that information to the the larger board. 184 00:09:48.087 --> 00:09:49.722 And that's all I have. 185 00:09:49.722 --> 00:09:51.223 Thank you, Mr. Rizzo. 186 00:09:51.223 --> 00:09:53.793 Finance Committee Update. Mrs. Seger. 187 00:09:53.793 --> 00:09:55.361 We had a robust agenda. 188 00:09:55.361 --> 00:09:57.463 We got a quarterly update from the Milton 189 00:09:57.463 --> 00:10:00.633 Hershey Trust Fund for Agent Fulton Financial Advisors. 190 00:10:01.233 --> 00:10:03.703 Unfortunately, I don't have good news to report about 191 00:10:03.703 --> 00:10:06.872 the trust fund at its highest in 2021. 192 00:10:06.872 --> 00:10:09.842 It was up 14% at almost 55 million. 193 00:10:10.109 --> 00:10:11.978 It is currently down 18%. 194 00:10:11.978 --> 00:10:17.617 It is roughly around 43 million, although this is concerning, 195 00:10:17.617 --> 00:10:21.420 we need to look at the long term expectations which are still on par. 196 00:10:22.888 --> 00:10:25.324 I think everybody, if you look at your retirement accounts 197 00:10:25.324 --> 00:10:27.193 or anything, any type of stock investments, 198 00:10:27.193 --> 00:10:29.462 you can understand that everything is down right now. 199 00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:35.134 We reviewed our 2023, 2024 budget timeline 200 00:10:35.134 --> 00:10:38.904 just to let everybody know the Act one index is 4.1%. 201 00:10:39.405 --> 00:10:43.009 And for those who don't know about the Act one index index, 202 00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:48.247 that is the percentage set by the state on the amount we can raise taxes to, 203 00:10:48.981 --> 00:10:52.652 we could show we can raise taxes up to 4.1% 204 00:10:52.652 --> 00:10:57.990 unless we ask for an exemption to go higher than that, 205 00:10:58.891 --> 00:11:02.461 for us to opt out of any exceptions to go higher than that, the Finance 206 00:11:02.461 --> 00:11:05.531 Committee will decide by November 21st and the board 207 00:11:05.531 --> 00:11:08.534 will decide in January. 208 00:11:08.534 --> 00:11:11.237 This is something that's not it's completely normal. 209 00:11:11.237 --> 00:11:13.539 We do this every year. 210 00:11:13.539 --> 00:11:16.542 We got an update on tax collections services. 211 00:11:17.109 --> 00:11:22.982 We did an RFP to have somebody starting in January 1st, 2023, 212 00:11:22.982 --> 00:11:26.886 to do our local service tax and occupational tax collection services. 213 00:11:27.420 --> 00:11:30.890 We got two bids back and the lowest bid was Keystone 214 00:11:30.890 --> 00:11:33.893 Collection services at 17,000 a year. 215 00:11:33.993 --> 00:11:37.963 The Finance Committee did approve this too, and it is on tonight's agenda. 216 00:11:39.665 --> 00:11:40.132 We would 217 00:11:40.132 --> 00:11:43.903 like the board approved to approve that so that we can get organized 218 00:11:43.903 --> 00:11:46.906 for the tax collection to start in January 1st. 219 00:11:48.541 --> 00:11:50.276 We have we are realizing 220 00:11:50.276 --> 00:11:53.279 significant savings by 221 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.083 changing the tax collection services. 222 00:11:57.183 --> 00:12:00.753 Right now we are paying $13,000 a month for the Tax 223 00:12:00.753 --> 00:12:05.091 Collection Association, which is about $156,000 a year. 224 00:12:06.459 --> 00:12:10.663 We will now be currently paying $39,000 a year 225 00:12:10.963 --> 00:12:14.500 so that it will be a cost savings of 116,000 226 00:12:16.035 --> 00:12:19.038 a year for the district. 227 00:12:19.171 --> 00:12:22.174 We got an update on the Tax Collection Association, 228 00:12:22.541 --> 00:12:25.778 which will be closing by the end of the year. 229 00:12:26.378 --> 00:12:29.749 The director, Wendy, has resigned, but we are working on a contract 230 00:12:29.749 --> 00:12:33.152 to pay her out hourly and part time to the close of the year 231 00:12:33.586 --> 00:12:36.489 and the tax collection office at the Derry Township 232 00:12:38.057 --> 00:12:38.991 offices will 233 00:12:38.991 --> 00:12:42.328 have revised office hours through the end of the year 234 00:12:42.328 --> 00:12:46.465 as well as we roll out this new tax collection procedure, 235 00:12:48.334 --> 00:12:53.072 we got an update on Act 57 of 2022, which changes 236 00:12:53.072 --> 00:12:57.276 in real estate tax collection and basically it gives out 237 00:12:57.309 --> 00:13:00.312 gives an out to homeowners who didn't get a tax bill. 238 00:13:03.949 --> 00:13:05.651 We got a quarterly update 239 00:13:05.651 --> 00:13:08.654 on the Food Services Fund, which is one of our goals. 240 00:13:09.054 --> 00:13:11.824 Something unique for this year is that our students 241 00:13:11.824 --> 00:13:16.762 with a negative balance, that line item is extremely high for this year. 242 00:13:17.897 --> 00:13:22.434 It's about $6,000 of students who have negative balances. 243 00:13:23.102 --> 00:13:27.339 We think that it's possible because meals were free 244 00:13:27.339 --> 00:13:28.707 for the last two years, that 245 00:13:28.707 --> 00:13:33.078 some people are not filling out their free and reduced lunch applications, or 246 00:13:33.078 --> 00:13:37.116 people are just not used to putting money in their student account balances. 247 00:13:37.516 --> 00:13:39.952 So the business office is working on that. 248 00:13:42.188 --> 00:13:43.489 We got a quarterly update, 249 00:13:43.489 --> 00:13:46.826 which is another one of our goals on cyber school enrollment. 250 00:13:47.326 --> 00:13:48.961 There is good news there. 251 00:13:48.961 --> 00:13:53.833 In 2122, we spent $1.78 million on 109 students 252 00:13:53.833 --> 00:13:57.303 who were in cyber school for the 2223 school year. 253 00:13:57.303 --> 00:14:00.472 We now have 90 students, so that has dropped and so far 254 00:14:00.472 --> 00:14:03.909 we have paid out 456,000. 255 00:14:04.276 --> 00:14:08.180 We do expect as the year closes that we will be 256 00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:11.183 a few hundred thousand dollars under budget for that. 257 00:14:12.751 --> 00:14:14.153 So we've been watching those numbers 258 00:14:14.153 --> 00:14:17.156 and that is good news. 259 00:14:17.189 --> 00:14:20.259 A finance update right now, the auditors are coming. 260 00:14:20.292 --> 00:14:23.963 So the business office is focused on getting ready for the audit right now. 261 00:14:25.965 --> 00:14:28.200 And just as a reminder, they do have three 262 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.804 new employees, two new in the last month or so. 263 00:14:31.804 --> 00:14:34.473 And then our business manager has also been new this year. 264 00:14:41.313 --> 00:14:42.481 We had 265 00:14:42.481 --> 00:14:46.051 a review of one of the contracts that will be coming to the board, a CAIB 266 00:14:46.051 --> 00:14:49.054 letter of commitment on cybersecurity solution. 267 00:14:50.222 --> 00:14:52.892 We're we're going to be signing a letter of commitment 268 00:14:52.892 --> 00:14:56.262 at the end of October for a five year cybersecurity consortium 269 00:14:56.262 --> 00:14:59.265 with the IEEE 13. 270 00:14:59.798 --> 00:15:02.601 It is a program platform 271 00:15:02.601 --> 00:15:05.604 that the tech department is, 272 00:15:06.405 --> 00:15:09.208 I guess, excited about that. 273 00:15:09.208 --> 00:15:14.079 It will make us aware of any intruders so we can stop things before they happen. 274 00:15:14.380 --> 00:15:17.383 Right now we have more of technology that 275 00:15:19.051 --> 00:15:22.021 helps us back up and restart if we need to. 276 00:15:22.488 --> 00:15:26.558 And this also includes an annual voluntary vulnerability assessment 277 00:15:26.558 --> 00:15:29.595 and it does replace the cost of another contract. 278 00:15:29.995 --> 00:15:31.463 So all rolled in together. 279 00:15:31.463 --> 00:15:36.602 It is slightly higher cost for us, but it gives us much better cybersecurity. 280 00:15:39.204 --> 00:15:42.207 And that concludes my report. 281 00:15:42.408 --> 00:15:43.309 Thank you, Mrs. Sager. 282 00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:47.880 I also just wanted to add that the audit you referenced is our standard 283 00:15:47.880 --> 00:15:52.351 annual fiscal audit, not an outside, you know, audit that pops up. 284 00:15:52.351 --> 00:15:54.286 I know we've had ones from the state in before. 285 00:15:54.286 --> 00:15:56.055 That's for our annual one. 286 00:15:56.055 --> 00:15:59.491 Can I ask a question of the the finance report they give. 287 00:15:59.925 --> 00:16:03.529 The concerning the trust when it takes a dip. 288 00:16:03.629 --> 00:16:07.099 The way that you describe it because of the economy, do you. 289 00:16:07.433 --> 00:16:08.968 Does the. 290 00:16:08.968 --> 00:16:12.471 Committee pull back on our withdrawal? 291 00:16:12.972 --> 00:16:14.039 We don't. Yeah. 292 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.643 Yeah we did ask about that and when they did 293 00:16:17.643 --> 00:16:20.646 it, predictions for the draw they kind of broken into that 294 00:16:20.813 --> 00:16:24.216 The highs and lows of what we would have expected were still within that. 295 00:16:24.216 --> 00:16:26.752 So we can maintain that draw for this year 296 00:16:26.752 --> 00:16:29.822 and then we will drop back down to the 4% after this. 297 00:16:30.422 --> 00:16:34.226 So we did ask them we're okay to stay with that for this year. 298 00:16:34.693 --> 00:16:39.698 And I'm right like you can't that's not a like you're not very flexible on that. 299 00:16:39.698 --> 00:16:41.467 Like, you can't change that. 300 00:16:41.467 --> 00:16:43.736 You can't change that draw like quickly. Right. 301 00:16:43.736 --> 00:16:45.270 You have to like they did in 302 00:16:45.270 --> 00:16:48.440 and now a five year analysis to for us to get it before 303 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.443 and we budgeted in the school year the 5% this year 304 00:16:51.944 --> 00:16:54.446 and it's been pulled out 305 00:16:54.446 --> 00:16:58.517 quarterly I believe and then next year we drop back to the normal 4%. 306 00:16:58.517 --> 00:17:01.520 So it's all the it's all in motion. 307 00:17:01.520 --> 00:17:04.189 The good news is we took the highest draw 308 00:17:04.189 --> 00:17:07.726 when the account was the highest during the pandemic. 309 00:17:07.726 --> 00:17:09.762 That was at the 7%. 310 00:17:09.762 --> 00:17:10.229 Yeah. 311 00:17:10.229 --> 00:17:12.965 So that's good. 312 00:17:12.965 --> 00:17:17.002 It was also we also did assess about the long term effects on that 313 00:17:17.002 --> 00:17:20.672 because when we made the decision to take 7% the account, 314 00:17:21.106 --> 00:17:25.377 the portfolio is obviously at an all time high and performance was really strong. 315 00:17:26.278 --> 00:17:29.314 So we had looked at that time for long term. 316 00:17:29.615 --> 00:17:33.585 What the impact of taking the additional 3% would be. 317 00:17:33.986 --> 00:17:34.987 And so 318 00:17:36.055 --> 00:17:36.889 she expects 319 00:17:36.889 --> 00:17:40.392 they expect they could take that like in the ten year projection. 320 00:17:40.692 --> 00:17:44.596 But our our historical performance over a ten year period, 321 00:17:44.596 --> 00:17:49.368 we are still meeting all of the, you know, thresholds and targets 322 00:17:49.835 --> 00:17:53.172 for performance that that are built into the plan. 323 00:17:53.172 --> 00:17:57.443 And so there's no panic button to be pushed, you know, at this time. 324 00:17:57.443 --> 00:17:58.043 It's just something 325 00:17:58.043 --> 00:18:01.346 that will have to stable because she said this year is just a complete anomaly. 326 00:18:02.047 --> 00:18:05.050 Thank you. 327 00:18:06.318 --> 00:18:07.219 Student representatives 328 00:18:07.219 --> 00:18:10.322 reports representatives, ISS and Forester are with us this evening. 329 00:18:10.322 --> 00:18:12.624 Do you have your report to share, please? 330 00:18:12.624 --> 00:18:15.260 Yes, we do. I'm with you, Forester. 331 00:18:15.260 --> 00:18:18.430 I would first like to say Happy Diwali to all that celebrate included 332 00:18:18.797 --> 00:18:21.600 including teacher, which isn't who isn't here right now. 333 00:18:23.001 --> 00:18:26.071 So on Friday many clubs took part in Fall Fest to hand out 334 00:18:26.071 --> 00:18:29.641 candy and promote and inform the attendees on their submissions. 335 00:18:29.908 --> 00:18:32.911 Also on that day, varsity football won against Aldi 336 00:18:32.978 --> 00:18:36.381 and is now preparing for the upcoming Friday game against Palmyra. 337 00:18:37.015 --> 00:18:40.119 Both varsity boys and girls soccer will begin their first round 338 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.287 of District three play offs tonight. 339 00:18:42.287 --> 00:18:45.858 The girls game was away at Red Land at four and they won in double 340 00:18:45.858 --> 00:18:48.861 overtime 1 to 0, which advanced them to quarterfinals. 341 00:18:49.228 --> 00:18:51.930 The boys game is at home and began at 6 p.m. 342 00:18:51.930 --> 00:18:53.432 and is still in progress. 343 00:18:53.432 --> 00:18:55.467 I believe 344 00:18:55.467 --> 00:18:57.903 this one we just won. 345 00:18:57.903 --> 00:19:00.105 Oh, okay. 346 00:19:00.105 --> 00:19:02.207 Good update and still be fine. 347 00:19:02.207 --> 00:19:05.711 Freshman pair tonight is Wednesday the 26th at 6 p.m. 348 00:19:05.711 --> 00:19:07.146 via Zoom. 349 00:19:07.146 --> 00:19:09.748 Earlier this month for the week of October 9th. 350 00:19:09.748 --> 00:19:14.419 The parents of those freshmen should have received an email with the Zoom link. 351 00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:18.991 And then this week, Red Brethren Week is happening and 352 00:19:20.192 --> 00:19:22.027 is across a whole school district 353 00:19:22.027 --> 00:19:25.831 and is celebrating the theme drug free looks like me. 354 00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:30.135 So I'm Faizan Aziz. 355 00:19:30.769 --> 00:19:34.106 So there's not much for me because, you know, we're in the second half of October. 356 00:19:34.106 --> 00:19:38.410 It's rather uneventful but so Key club is hosting a trick 357 00:19:38.410 --> 00:19:41.847 or treat this Wednesday, the 26th from 6 to 730. 358 00:19:42.214 --> 00:19:44.883 And if you can't tell by the name, it's trick or treating. 359 00:19:44.883 --> 00:19:47.352 But instead of going to others houses, you're going in car trunks. 360 00:19:47.352 --> 00:19:48.720 So, you know, it's a lot different. 361 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.456 But anyways, also Millersville 362 00:19:51.456 --> 00:19:54.860 and decision day is coming up this Tony this Wednesday, the 26th as well. 363 00:19:55.494 --> 00:19:57.796 It's basically Millersville University. 364 00:19:57.796 --> 00:20:01.099 I'm pretty sure 27 kids have are participating in it. 365 00:20:01.466 --> 00:20:03.302 But it's basically where they get a decision on the spot 366 00:20:03.302 --> 00:20:05.671 based on an interview if they're accepted to university or not. 367 00:20:06.638 --> 00:20:08.707 The end of the marking period for us seniors 368 00:20:08.707 --> 00:20:12.344 and the rest of the high school and middle school is the 28th this Friday. 369 00:20:12.911 --> 00:20:17.516 And for seniors, the November 1st, early decision and early 370 00:20:17.516 --> 00:20:20.719 action deadline is coming up for colleges, which is really stressful. 371 00:20:20.719 --> 00:20:22.621 But hopefully we make it. 372 00:20:22.621 --> 00:20:26.825 Maybe the high school has a building advisory meeting on November 22nd 373 00:20:27.192 --> 00:20:30.529 and the middle school has a voting PTO meeting also on the 22nd. 374 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.368 Thank you both. 375 00:20:36.368 --> 00:20:40.172 Recognition of new extracurricular activity and school credits Dr. 376 00:20:40.172 --> 00:20:42.407 Windsor. 377 00:20:42.407 --> 00:20:45.777 In compliance with Policy 122 Extracurricular activities. 378
