Between still basic goals for players, parents, and coaches in order to maximize the experience and benefits for all students.
While serving on the community engagement committees, we've been enabled committee we've been able to continually work to improve the process.
By which community members are informed and have a voice. On each of these committees, I've been able to work with administrators and staff who consistently demonstrate their commit to our commitment to our students with their time, passion, and hard work.
Their ability to shape the future of our students and make a profound impact on their lives has not gone unnoticed.
I'm very appreciative to all the community members who have supported me through 4 elections and as a sitting board member for so many years.
I also want to thank all my fellow board members for allowing us to participate in the process of overseeing district operations during both routine and controversial decision-making, whether it be in full agreement or with civil discourse. Raising taxes.
Building 2 tower fields, renovating buildings, creating bus corals, hybrid learning, masking or just a few of the more difficult topics that we survived.
Throughout my voting record shows that I have both agreed and disagreed with every single board member with whom I've served but have always been proud of our ability to agree to disagree.
I believe that our collective goal was always been to make sure our district can, engage all students every day to help them achieve their greatest potentials global citizens.
End quote. Thank you to our wonderful staff who work every day to support this. Mission. I wish I could name you all, but you know who you are and you're amazing.
Having 7 kids and 4 exchange students go through the district. I know firsthand that our teachers are second to none.
To this end, it's been an honor to serve. In addition, I do have to thank my husband's 7 kids for supporting, or should I say, tolerating me as a board member, missing Monday night dinners, numerous activities and spending many hours on board issues.
Do you all know that takes a lot of family time away from family time? But I do appreciate their flexibility and understanding understanding.
Unfortunately, I do think they've learned the importance of community service regardless of the great and the good, the bad, and the ugly, which makes all the effort worthwhile.
The great things we have done and accomplished will certainly serve as inspiration for each of them. As they successfully collaborate in their own futures.
And finally, I want to wish each successive board and especially the very new incoming board the ability to collaborate in order to have a positive impact for all Derry Township students with an enriching and supportive educational environment.
May you use your wisdom and dedication to make a lasting difference for all of our students in our community.
Thank you. Thank you very much, Dr. I like your sweep of time from. I thought you were gonna start with Xerox copiers.
I remember banning the water bottles the most and banning the cell phones. That was just, we were a long way baby.
Yeah. Any other board members who like saying?
Okay, I have something I'd like to say.
As tonight is, is tonight's meeting is my last. I wanted to thank you. I wanted to say thank you to my board colleagues for your commitment and efforts on behalf of our district.
For those with whom I have served, notwithstanding the challenges, I've enjoyed working with all of you.
For those board members continuing with their service, I hope that you'll welcome and support the newly elected board members and together your work in partnership with the administration to best serve our communities, students and families.
Volunteer public service is no easy task. So thank you all for everything that you do.
To the administration, faculty and staff, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all of you. As well and wish you all the best as you continue to strive to serve the needs.
Of quote every child every day, unquote. Thank you. Anybody else have anything they'd like to say?
Mr. Singer, this is Lindsey Drew. I just want to say thank you to the board members who are leaving.
It is an incredible amount of time that you sacrifice to serve on this board. And regardless of where anyone has ever fallen, that's something that is.
In common amongst all of us that we give up time. And that we miss things with our families and in our personal lives.
So thank you for that. A special thank you to Mrs. Sicker, who became president as I was sworn in for my first term and for just the way that you showed the ropes, there was a lot, for my first term and for, just the way that you showed the ropes, there was a lot, it was drinking from and I'm grateful for your patience and, the
