WEBVTT

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:56.000
And activities. As well as help to to my peers. I have been a leader in link through for 2 years and have enjoyed helping the freshmen have a smooth transition into high school.

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.000
Through tourism visiting them each Wednesday, I'd love to get to know them on a more personal level.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:11.000
I have also been a mentor down in the elementary school since my sophomore year and have gotten the opportunity to be in our new Big Brothers Big Sisters Program this year.

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:21.000
Visiting them each week and helping them through difficult emotions. As well as playing fun games not only allows them to have a break within their day but also allows me to enjoy my time with them.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.000
During the spring season, I play lacrosse for the girls with cross team as a midfielder and enjoy dancing outside of school.

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.000
I'm a Trojan 10 award winner and I am also a classroom assistant. In my free time, I enjoy longboarding, hiking, and anything outdoors.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:46.000
Over the summer, I volunteer for a small business called A Space to Make. I get to set up tables for children to do crafts that are taught by a wonderful teacher and I assist the kids with each activity.

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:55.000
It is so rewarding to see each kid's creativity come to life. Through each of the service activities as well as school groups, I found my passion for helping others.

00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:01.000
I'm not exactly sure what field I would like to study, but I know. That I want my career to revolve around others.

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:15.000
I plan to attend a four-year college or university to achieve this call. Thank you again for this award.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:26.000
Okay, And now I'm pleased to welcome our next student. This is Cole Goodman.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:31.000
Hi everyone, my name is Colgum and I'm honored to be selective as a Hershey High School student of the month.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:37.000
First, I like to thank the Rotary Club as well as the Hershey High School staff and administration for recognizing me for this award.

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:43.000
None of my academic success would have been possible without my incredible teachers who consistently stride to make class engaging.

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:54.000
The staff members at the high school do an incredible job of treating all students with respect and their ability to acknowledge us as capable young adults allows us to seek opportunities that interest us.

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.000
Finally, I have to thank my parents for pushing me to achieve my best in every endeavor.

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.000
And providing constant support whenever I need it. Alongside my desire to succeed in the classroom. I also tried to be involved in my community as much as possible.

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:18.000
For starters, I'm involved in student council, or me and my fellow class representatives go through the process of planning everything for homecoming and prom such as the dances, pepper rallies and spirit weeks.

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:26.000
I'm also a member of the National Honor Society, allowing me to help with sponsored events server communities such as the Can Food Drive and Chocolate Bar sale as well as performing unassociated volunteer work.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:44.000
An example being my role as a counselor at their annual Red Land Football Camp. Additionally, I'm a member of the Spanish National Honor Society and have helped out with events like the PAL Sarah Sale and in a donation drive for Hoop Academy, a school for underprivileged girls in Guatemala.

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:51.000
Lastly, I have played in the Hershey High School soccer team for 4 years and the high school football team for the past 2 years.

00:06:51.000 --> 00:07:03.000
And I was treated to incredible seasons with teammates that will definitely call friends for life. I also play soccer for the Hershey FC club team with several of my classmates and involved here to help the club whenever needed.

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.000
Often assisting as a field marshal as a coach for recreational soccer or a tournament setup.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:16.000
But my favorite act of community service is undoubtedly my role as an assistant coach for the Hershey Middle School soccer team.

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:24.000
For the past 2 years, I've had the opportunity to help kids improve their technique. And understanding of the sport in the drills and games.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:36.000
Although at times it was hard to keep some of their middle school brains focused and motivated. Having the ability to build connections with several or high school future players was extremely beneficial to fostering a team oriented environment.

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.000
And likely played a large part in their success. I'm now good friends with many of the kids I coached.

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.000
I'm sure they'll continue the tradition of helping out with the middle school soccer team for years to come.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:56.000
And finally, for my future plans, I will hopefully be graduating from Hershey and I plan to attend college to study psychology or neuroscience.

00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.000
Thank you.

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:11.000
Thanks again for taking the time to recognize these individuals. Thank you and congratulations to Ms. Barr and Mr. Goodwin.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:20.000
Moving on to president communications, I'd like to announce that the board met an executive session prior to this meeting to discuss matters of personnel and confidential student matters.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:39.000

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:49.000
In the audience. I just realized there's now. Dr. Shivan, who was your in the back.

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:55.000
That's it. Mr. Nixon, is there anyone online wishing to comment? By raising virtual hand this time.

00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:01.000
Not this time.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:11.000
Okay, I don't see anyone raising their hand. That's participating online. We jumped to that quickly, so I wanted just to give a second in case there was anyone.

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.000
Try to find.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:24.000
Raise their hand. But that will close our first public comment. Period of the meeting. So we'll go right into our student representative report.

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:31.000
We have all of our representatives this evening so representatives Barto, Karassi and Saad would you like to share your report with us please ladies?

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.000
Yes, of course. This is Natalie Colerasi and I'll be speaking about the high school.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:43.000
This past weekend Hershey High School wrestlers competed at the district 3 tournament in hopes of qualifying for the PI double A state competition.

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:47.000
Wrestler's, only a Pritchard, David Essis, Cory Schaeffer, and Christian Bird all competed.

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:54.000
Cory plays fifth in his class and qualified as an alternate for states while Christian Bird placed third and will be attending the state meet.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.000
Congratulations. On Saturday, Ryan Mcfee competed in the District 3 diving championships at Dover High School.

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.000
He placed ninth overall. Congratulations, Ryan. The swimming part of the competition will take place this Friday and Saturday.

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:13.000
At Carbon Valley High School and there is a live stream available online if you don't want to wait in the cold.

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:25.000
To get into the auditorium. Last week we celebrated random acts of kindness week at Hershey High School through a week of community periods and fun activities, students and staff helped promote an atmosphere of kindness throughout the school.

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:31.000
Last week was also Scholastic Journalism Week. Our school paper, the Hartshire High School Broadcaster, posted a series of stories discussing the importance of the press and freedom of speech.

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:39.000
These stories can be found online on the Broadcaster website and as an editor of the paper I can personally attest to the hard work and dedication of our young journalists.

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:47.000
So if you have a chance, please stay updated.

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:53.000
Sorry. Thank you. This is just sad and I have some more information about the high school.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.000
The Hershey High School key club had a has a number of fundraisers coming up to prepare for the walk for clean water.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:08.000
On April, the 20 first they're sponsoring a yoga event at Studio Seoul on March, the sixteenth and a Pilates class at EM Studios on March, the 20 third.

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:14.000
All proceeds from these events go to the goal of building clean water wells in the kingdom of Aswatini.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:28.000
On Saturday, HHS Miniton held a successful dress sale at the high school. Dresses were donated throughout the month of February and sold for a minimum of $25 donation all proceeds go towards the final total which will be revealed at the Mini.

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:37.000
Celebration on March 20 s. There is still time to donate to the cause and more information can be found on their social media or through donor drive.

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:43.000
Tomorrow the Hershey Middle School Mini-thon is hosting a fundraiser at the Palmyra, Texas Shorthouse from 3 to 8 p.

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.000
M. Lastly, Hershey High School was well represented this past weekend at the PM.

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:56.000
EA Region 5 Band Festival hosted by Eastern York High School selected through a competitive audition process.

00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:03.000
Our 11 high school musicians set a new record for DTSD representation at this festival.

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:13.000
Good evening, Susie Bartow. Project Engineer visited an elementary social skills group to teach them what it means to be an engineer and take a look at the plans for a house they're building.

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:21.000
As you can see a common theme is the township allowing different age levels to explore different career paths.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.000
I just want to say I think that's really cool. I'm in the internship program.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:31.000
I think it's really important to start that young to just see different options for after school. Physical and musical tickets are on sale.

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:39.000
Their opening night is on Friday, March, the first and shows will run through the weekend. Dairy township students also get a sneak peek of the show on Thursday.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:54.000
The boys basketball team is currently playing the district 3 semifinal game against Greencastle Antrim. If they win, they will move on to the championship game at the Giant Center on Thursday.

00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:03.000
Thank you, Thetis. I know I was like, could we? Make one of the TV stream the basketball game.

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.000
Okay, we do. Oh, the listed items that will appear on the screen in just a moment.

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:16.000
Are on the anticipated March, eleventh, 2,024 board of directors meeting agenda.

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.000
Thank you, Ms. Carpel.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:28.000
Moving on to unfinished business. Tonight we have an elementary facility building project update from Dr.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.000
Thank you. Feel like it's been a while since I've done an unfinished business update.

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:48.000
So I was trying to think how far back to go. Since Mr. Colstock was here. As you're all aware, we did choose our Project manager, our owners are up in Fedavia.

00:14:48.000 --> 00:15:00.000
We have not started to work with them, but we have started to schedule meetings. So we are excited to get them up to speed and to have them start joining us for our meetings with, crab tree in March.

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:06.000
So very excited about that. On February seventh, Crabtree did arrange a visit to Eatowns Bainbridge Elementary and a visit to Manham Township Middle School.

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:16.000
It was a many of us had already been to the middle school, so a lot of us didn't go to that piece of it.

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:27.000
But it was specific to specifically to look at and compare flexible use. Stuttering over my words, flexible use spaces.

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:34.000
And shared spaces for small group or multi-class instruction. We saw some things that we really liked.

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:40.000
Both had features that the team sees as being very beneficial. While one of the struggles we're having is imagining how it looks when you're working with 10 to 12 classrooms instead of 4.

00:15:40.000 --> 00:16:03.000
Most schools are not the size of our school. So we were really struggling with like this is me and we understand how this group is using a bit how would we use it and is it a space that would be used which is a really, really important consideration because you do not want to have spaces in a building that are just Looking really nice but sitting empty because that's a waste of money.

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:13.000
So you don't wanna do that. So we really processed that at our meeting last Thursday.

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:26.000
And Anthony was able to draw out some of what he's been talking about or thinking about. To help us imagine what that would look like with a common thread to unify the grade level while also having.

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:40.000
Pod areas with common spaces. I am with my hand emotions, not doing a very good job of what that is, that it is kind of a staggered pod with a street with like kind of a through hallway.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:46.000
And that really helped the whole room went. Well, he was drawing circles and lines on the board and we all went.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:51.000
Oh, I can kind of see like what he was thinking about now. So there's a lot of work to do with that sort of thing.

00:16:51.000 --> 00:17:09.000
The other piece that he did is he took faculty workshop ideas. And started building them out into classroom models and what they might look like and that's what he shared at general services today.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:13.000
So there is that that presentation, Miss Carp, will be posted, right? Yeah, so that'll be posted if anybody wants to look at that.

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:26.000
They are literally just ideas. For example, in the K 2 classrooms, you'll see bathrooms for each room.

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:31.000
That's something that in an ideal world we would love to see for K through 2 but recognize that financially that might just be a kindergarten thing.

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:46.000
Depending on what that, you know, what kind of impact that has on the overall budget. But teachers definitely like the idea of kids not being.

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:55.000
Invisible and restaurant. Because that's where a lot of things go down the elementary level. So love that idea.

00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:04.000
The other concepts that we've been looking at are what do we do with district office, how do we repurpose the ECC and we've started to have some conversations about that as well.

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:15.000
Those are very preliminary. The board has some big decisions to make with that when we're ready to do that.

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:23.000
But we have been looking at what are the deficiencies of this building for programming, the Grenada building in particular.

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:30.000
And then what might that look like if we would move over on to campus, which would be wonderful to be connected with the whole canvas.

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.000
And to utilize the ECC space in that manner. So lots and lots of things still in front of us.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:47.000
And the next piece that we really are waiting on. Is the site survey. Which will help, Crabtree know where the building can go.

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.000
And once we know where the building can go, then we can really start coming together with some.

00:18:52.000 --> 00:19:02.000
Some actual specifications, some true design pieces, get more community input. The other piece that we did ask Anthony about.

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:11.000
For the teachers is the opportunity for them to perhaps visit some of the schools that we've visited. To help them in thinking about and envisioning.

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:17.000
Things that just didn't even occur. I mean, you can look at pictures and you can, but when you see it operationally.

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:26.000
It's different. And when you ask people in those buildings So how do you use this space?

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:32.000
And if they've been in that building for 2 or 3 years and their answer is We're figuring that out.

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:40.000
You might not wanna build that space in your building. Because they haven't figured it out yet. So it's such an interesting project.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:47.000
It's, it's an interesting process. And I'm happy with the partners that we have.

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:58.000
And we'll continue to bring things forward to you and Anthony will be back in 2 weeks. To share an update from actually And I believe at that time.

00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:04.000
Not at that meeting, it'll be the following meeting that for it will start, I think, showing up at our meetings as well.

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:10.000
Any questions?

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:21.000
Thank you. Thanks, Step to. And so I realized when Dr. Windsor started speaking about unfinished business that we were so excited to get to our student reps that I breeze right over our standing committee reports and no one said anything.

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:32.000
So the general services committee met today. So Mrs. Wren's committee met today. So Mrs. Wrenss committee met today.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.000
So Mrs. Wrens, do you have a committee report, please?

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.000
Thanks, Mrs. Mistro. We got a concession stand update from Mr. Frady.

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:49.000
It looks like, it is on schedule to be in use, before spring sports start, hopefully mid March.

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:57.000
And we received a parking lot update and we're still waiting on getting some information on those open permits.

00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.000
And we had the presentation from Mr. Colstock.

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:10.000
Thank you. The finance committee also met today. Mr. Rizzo, would you provide a finance report, so would you provide a finance report please?

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:18.000
Yes, so there was only a few items on the agenda for this week. Yes, so there was only a few items on the agenda for this week in talking about the agenda for this week in talking about the agenda for this week in talking about the preliminary audit update.

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:30.000
For 2022 2023 and als020-24-2025 budget which is in this very preliminary phase right now and we start working on that.

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:39.000
From the business. Office real soon so we're looking at the overall preliminary audit for 2022 2023 we're seeing positivity in the in the budget.

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:58.000
Keep in mind that last year when we set the budget for this year, we still didn't have the governors, understanding what we were getting from, as far as the governor money from the state.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:07.000
So we, Ms. Purcell, estimated at about 10% increase and it actually came in at a full 21%, increase over the previous year for budget.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:18.000
It and which puts us kind of over a million, almost a million dollars, additional for this year that we only learned after we set the final budget.

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:26.000
So that's just the process that's year over year that is never syncs up with the schools and when the school needs to get the budget in.

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:54.000
So that was just one of those things that we have to try and anticipate. Overall, again, I think, you know, some of the expenses that, that are really coming at us right now are, gas and electric is up almost $500,000 for the year and continues to climb so we have to keep an eye on that make sure that we're accounting for those those expenditures in 20

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.000
24. Budget cycle. We are down a few positions, so that is bringing in some positivity as well.

00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:09.000
I'm sure that will adjust itself as those positions are being filled. And that also, leans into the benefits that are, tied to those salaries.

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:22.000
The only other thing that I saw from a really large perspective is the earned income tax came in unexpectedly high even over last year and the year before that.

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:42.000
So, seems that the economy is doing well, the money's coming in and therefore we will be looking at the budget for 2024 to really look at how we get that information we're now with Keystone have a very good.

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:53.000
Understanding and reporting coming in so it should give us some better visibility to building those budgets. We look for the upcoming budget again, Ms. Purcell is just starting to put those real preliminary numbers together.

00:23:53.000 --> 00:24:02.000
To really see how the budget is gonna align and then that'll that'll kind of give us an indication of where we are going to be with tax increase.

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:06.000
It's preliminary to the point now that's really nothing we can report on at this time.

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:22.000
There was discussion in the in the finance committee and that that session was recorded. So if anyone wants to go back and look at that finance committee, they can hear all the discussions behind it.

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:28.000
And then finally contracts was, was added, but we didn't get to the contracts discussion, during this.

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:36.000
This conversation. I do wanna call out Miss Purcell, Miss White and Miss Dr. Winslow and the rest of the staff.

In making and really trying to help out the business office with all of the changes that are that are coming at them over the last couple of weeks.

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:50.000
It's been a very challenging time for that group. There's a lot of work going on with the audits, budgets setting and a lot of personnel changes.

00:24:50.000 --> 00:25:02.000
So, just appreciate everything that you guys are doing. To keep this thing moving. So. That's Thanks, Mr. Mr. May I jump in with a basketball score?

On this list. I'm not happy about all the retirements we're getting at the moment.

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:52.000
Missy was my assistant for 8 years and, and the role that Dr. Schumann is now in and whenever she's not there, Dr.

00:29:52.000 --> 00:30:14.000
Schumann usually announces the curriculum office is closed. Because, we're all lost. She has been just a wonderful asset and she's not done until the end of July, but it's gonna be a really, really sad day when she decides that she's actually truly walking out the door and I have been trying to convince her not to do so.

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:24.000
She's wonderful and we will have a very hard time replacing her. Thanks. This is standard voice vote.

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:58.000
That concludes new business for this evening. There are no delegate reports this week on the agenda, so we'll move on to board member reports.

00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:07.000
Are there any board members who would like to give a report? Yes, I would, so, I didn't get into the delicate reports, from Dolphin County Tech School.

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:31.000
They did have skills U.S.A. for the, regional. Skills U.S.A. preparing for states and what this is for the Dolphin County technical is they are, they go into a competition to Showcase their skills based upon.

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:41.000
They're, they're based upon the skills that they're, they're trying to demonstrate, but also in their field of study that they're they're taking it DC tech.

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:50.000
So it's a very important competition for the technical schools. From Derry Township, we did have one individual, Austin Mu, came in first place and he will be going I'm assuming he is going to.

00:31:50.000 --> 00:32:08.000
States and he was doing computer networking and the competition he was in was telecommunications cabling so that is something if you've ever seen input output boards, it's.

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:15.000
Pretty significant. I mean, it's takes a lot of time. So, I will also in third place, Kana Zara came in, third place for automotive technology and that was in general automotive.

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:25.000
And then I think it's a for third places. Is it Brand? Slytic or is that Brian?

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:36.000
Thank you. I thought it was the girl. And if for veterinary assistant in job skills demonstration, in job skills demonstration, and which basically isn't.

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:43.000
Overall general veterinary job skills. Information. So I'll get, this information here and I'll work with.

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:56.000
Sarah and we'll get a communication out onto the website for. These individuals. That's awesome and I believe I was just given information that Austin was Mr. Nicholson's middle school intern.

00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:12.000
So we attribute his success to you. Awesome. Excellent. Thanks for sharing that, Mr. It's always great to hear about.

I'll let you know if I do before we're done. Elementary science fair is this Thursday at 5 30.

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:40.000

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:47.000
Come up with and it's it's exciting to see their experiments. It's very very very student driven.

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:52.000
They have a lot of choice and what they're doing in the PTO. They have a lot of choice and what they're doing and the PTO does a wonderful job in sponsoring that event.

00:33:52.000 --> 00:34:02.000
I think the kids said the musical as this weekend. You can buy your tickets online. It's very also super exciting.

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:10.000
You pick your seat now and I got mine for Sunday and it's You do. Yeah, Friday and Saturday it's at 7.

00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.000
that I can do the board for approval so that I can do the initial submission at the end of March.

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:39.000
And then also all 10 of our National Merit semi-finalists are moving along to the finalists, which is amazing.

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:47.000
And one of our very own Shizzas is one of those finalists.

00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:49.000
And that concludes my report. Thank you, Dr. Winslow. Thank you.

00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:59.000
For board presidents report, I just want to throw another plug out there for Cisco. The kids been working so hard and I can't wait to see it.

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:10.000
It this weekend and it just there's Not just the students who are on stage, but the crew and the pit and the kids in the sound booth and all the staff member that staff members that put so much time into this production it is just so fascinating to see how much goes into it.

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:26.000
I'm completely biased as a mom with a student in the production, but knowing the hours that they've put in and the way the kids.

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:39.000
Find a way to balance all these things always just really impresses me because they do it. Out of love for what they're doing because our staff does such a great job of encouraging that.

00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:46.000
And fostering that environment for them. And they complain less than. We do as adults when they've had the long day.

00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:59.000
I also just wanted to congratulate we had a student who was in the. The production that was put on a gamut theater this past weekend and as part of Black History Month.

00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:09.000
Kenny, Kamis Young was starred in the Jackson Rooming House Music's resting place and it was sponsored by Dauphin County Commissioners.

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:22.000
It was an original production that talked about the history in Harrisburg of the Jackson Rooming House that was the building next to Jackson House where the most people know Jackson House from their burgers on Sixth Street.

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:37.000
The building is since collapsed but in the 1920 s to the 19 end of 1950 sixties it was a stopping place for black musicians jazz, it was a stopping place for black musicians, jazz, all different, you know, jazz, all different, you know, genres of music.

00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:47.000
When they were traveling and performing because they were not able to stay at the places where they were performing during times of segregation, but they were able to stay at Jackson Rooming House.

00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:53.000
And so it was just really cool to see the history and that area, but to see, one of our students being a part of that.

00:36:53.000 --> 00:37:01.000
And I know that many, schools across the county. We're able to see it in our librarians at the high school via social media.

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:06.000
We're doing a great job of promoting that as well in celebration of Black History Month.

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:11.000
So congratulations to, to them.

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:17.000
