Recognition of citizens.
This is an opportunity for residents and taxpayers to address the board on
matters related to the agenda or matters of district governance, not on the agenda.
Those who speak are asked to come to the microphone
and follow the same guidelines
outlined at the initial public comment portion of our meeting.
Are there any other residents and or taxpayer payers
who would like to come forward at this time?
Hi, You can step to the microphone
now. You just state your name and address.
Hi, my name's Kelly Schmidt
and my address is 105 Brownstone Drive in Hershey
and I am here tonight just to make a statement about concerns
on last month's agenda with Good News Club
and the Child evangelism Fellowship.
I just wanted to state for the record, to the board that myself,
I have a son and I'm going into second grade this year,
and a few other parents had gotten together
and thought it would be a great idea to have a good news club
in the elementary school.
So we I did initiated the contact
with CPS in order to have the petition to
have the club.
So I just wanted to make make that clear that
we as as mothers and parents,
we're very interested in having this group started in the elementary school.
So thank you.
Okay.
Thank you.
My name is Ann Jones.
I live at ten Cambridge Drive here in Hershey.
I have lived in Hershey for 65 years.
Well, I'm 5306.
1965 is when we moved here.
And I have six children who all graduated from Hershey
High and one grandson still in the district.
And when I read
what was in the son regarding
what was said at the last school board meeting, I was very,
first of all, flabbergasted and then dismayed.
I won't be living in Hershey this 53 years.
I have taught several good news clubs here in Hershey
and I my first contact
with Child Evangelism Fellowship was actually,
believe it or not, in 1947.
And through the years, and when I moved to Hershey, I got involved.
I'm a volunteer and never been paid.
I'm a volunteer.
And currently teach at the kind of elementary school,
a good nurse club after school
where parents of 34 students have given permission
for their children to attend our club.
It's very successful.
The kids love it.
We get to know the parents
because of course they have to come to us to receive the children.
At the end of Club of it.
So I the only thing I can tell you about child evangelism, by the way,
I also teach Sunday school here and a local Hershey church
is that the purpose of child evangelism
is to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
That's our goal.
What was said about good news clubs?
I don't know where it came from.
Our goal, if you know anything about Scripture,
I would say the gospel that Jesus proclaimed is said in
John 316 for God so loved the world.
He gave His one and only son that
whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
And we teach that.
We teach that as followers of Jesus.
We also follow what he said on how to live.
And he said we were to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind,
and to love our neighbor as ourself.
So as we preach the gospel,
we do teach the children kindness.
We teach them to be kind, to
their fellow students, to help those who need help.
We we teach very much against
bullying, that that is not what Jesus would have us do.
And that's what we teach as far as violence.
And I thought I read something about graphic violence and I thought,
why in the world do I ever use that is graphically violent?
And I thought, well, it must be David and Goliath.
And as the only thing I could come up with that seemed violent.
But I just wanted to let you know,
as a resident of the township, who I
wholeheartedly support, child
evangelism, fellowship and the teaching,
the statement of faith is very similar to my church's statement of faith.
It's similar to the creeds that many churches say every Sunday
in their services.
We are not are some radical organization.
We are parroting what we call a parish church
organization to work alongside of churches.
So I just wanted to have the opportunity
because I think that corrects what you were told.
And believe me, I believe this with all my heart.
Thank you for listening. The
thank you.
Okay,
no further citizens.
