One, the middle schoolers are going to learn so much more 180 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,540 because they're going to care in that moment. They might care about what their teachers teach them, 181 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,380 but they're going to like dial in on what those high schoolers are teaching them. And it might 182 00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:25,120 fire them up. They'll learn something more. And everybody has to take science. So it's got to catch 183 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:31,240 of audience opportunity, but it can inspire the ones that that could be a future path for them 184 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:39,000 to be like, oh, this is my spot. And I probably would never have still found physics that way, 185 00:13:39,060 --> 00:13:45,520 but the kids that are going to gravitate that way, they can see themselves in those kids, 186 00:13:45,820 --> 00:13:53,160 like, that could be me in five years or whatever. And I think that's a really cool thing if we can 187 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,480 and give some of those kinds of experiences, 188 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,740 where it can be academic for both groups. 189 00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:03,320 I think that would be really, really cool. 190 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,760 I don't know what that looks like, 191 00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:06,520 but I think it could be really, really cool. 192 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,180 I don't know the other sports, 193 00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:13,160 but I know cross country. 194 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,320 I started doing a cross country program in the middle school. 195 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,900 In this year, so I just hosted a cross country team 196 00:14:20,350 --> 00:14:21,400 in this last Saturday. 197 00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:27,200 And I think, I bet you, if it's not correct, it's probably pretty close, that I think 198 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,200 the number of freshmen in the cross-country is probably equal to number of all three 199 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,680 other grades. 200 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,540 I believe it. 201 00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:39,860 Because it's like seniors, junior sophomores, so many freshmen that are doing this. 202 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:46,920 And that's how we have success and also, whether they're academic or athletic programs, is. 203 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:48,780 Yeah. 204 00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:54,940 Well, I think we saw that coming because last year's middle school cross country team was huge, right? 205 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,960 So we saw a huge group coming and I think that that starts with 206 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,820 And we've got girls on the run going on elementary school. We've got cross country in the middle school. And peers encouraging peers to participate. And what we're seeing now is a huge team at the high school. And so I think it, I think it feeds in. I think that's just an example of how we can build great high school teams and is that kind of process. I have a semi related thought, but we don't need to 207 00:15:29,820 --> 00:15:32,320 It's been much time that I just want to throw it out there, 208 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,240 speaking of athletics. 209 00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:40,020 And theater as well, just extracurriculars. 210 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,600 They usually, you have to pay to attend them. 211 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,280 But if we have one of the prizes at the elementary schools 212 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,040 or the middle schools, the student of the month 213 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,200 gets to take whether they want an athletic pass 214 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:58,860 or a theater ticket to something that they go attend either. 215 00:15:58,860 --> 00:15:59,620 I love that. 216 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,780 I guess it could be at the middle school as well as the new theater, I think it's a good 217 00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:05,960 thing. 218 00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:14,220 But yeah, if we encourage that, and maybe if we know they're going to be at one of these 219 00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:20,160 events, say we've got the students at the month here from, I don't know if that school 220 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:20,520 does it. 221 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,220 But some sort of recognition from the high school, if they come to middle school, they 222 00:16:24,220 --> 00:16:28,520 you know, and vice versa. I don't know, just just a thing. 223 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,020 That's really fun to blend with them, and then we're not taking 224 00:16:31,020 --> 00:16:37,460 kind of the school day either. We'll be taking potential funds out 225 00:16:37,460 --> 00:16:41,820 of, but maybe those people wouldn't attend anyway, the people that 226 00:16:41,820 --> 00:16:46,580 you're talking to nine people. Yeah, but maybe maybe give them a 227 00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:50,700 couple of passes so they can bring their parents or somebody with them. 228 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:01,460 I love that idea though, when they've done that at the middle school and the high school 229 00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:05,420 students have come from the high school to the middle school from whatever sports team, 230 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,580 and they've done their whatever assemblies, and they've given all of the middle schoolers 231 00:17:10,580 --> 00:17:17,840 passes to go to the games, I've been to a lot of games that I would never have gone to 232 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,760 my kids were never gone to because it makes them so excited. They're like, they want me there, mom. 233 00:17:23,580 --> 00:17:30,100 Okay, let's go. Let's do that. And I think that's cool. And it could be easy and so easy, 234 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,060 and not too expensive. Yeah, it doesn't take out of this full day. 235 00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:39,300 All right. And each has to kind of blend with those communities and encourage each other and stuff 236 00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:45,240 like that. The other thing that I think is an awesome blending. 237 00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:53,400 LAA does it amazingly. Like they go every week to the elementary school and they go LAA, 238 00:17:54,360 --> 00:18:03,680 LAA, they go every week and they go, not if it's a class they're getting a grade four. 239 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:13,960 If it's a club you can. But they go every week to the elementary school and they serve 240 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:21,420 and they reach out to those kids that are coming from like the ones that are up and coming. 241 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:30,080 But one thing that I thought of that kind of connects to what we did this summer with the football celebration, 242 00:18:31,260 --> 00:18:40,660 and I don't know how to do it, and it wouldn't take a ton of financial involvement, 243 00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:44,140 But it would take some brain work and time for someone. 244 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,140 But finding out where have our seniors gone? 245 00:18:51,120 --> 00:18:53,780 What are the amazing things that they are doing? 246 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,720 And finding ways to pull that back to the high school. 247 00:19:00,260 --> 00:19:02,100 And keep that connection. 248 00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:08,220 One of the, I think you graduated three years ago, maybe. 249 00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:16,960 um kids in theater but he just finished stunt school to be in movies and be a stunt driver. 250 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,300 And like I was thinking about him this week and it's like I can't wait for him to be in his first 251 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:29,940 like epic show and I'll be like I have this autograph in his playlist. I did his hair for the high 252 00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:38,020 school. Like but I think those high school kids that know who they are and like I don't know it's 253 00:19:38,020 --> 00:19:45,640 again it's seeing themselves like what can I do in the future and it can be in all of 254 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:52,200 the arena as it can be in strictly academic spaces it can be in business spaces any of 255 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:59,180 those things but I think as we talk about like those champions there's so many champions 256 00:19:59,180 --> 00:20:07,320 that I think would love to again feed back to the people that are coming behind them if 257 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,020 We can figure out ways to do that. 258 00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:10,260 I don't know what I kind of like. 259 00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:12,300 I just have two thoughts with this. 260 00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:14,460 I'll just quickly put it in my input, you know. 261 00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:16,800 Go for it, you take as much time as I want. 262 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:23,660 Two things kind of mind logistics and financial cost 263 00:20:23,660 --> 00:20:23,980 of this. 264 00:20:24,540 --> 00:20:28,160 Logistics-wise, I think the camp idea is a great idea. 265 00:20:28,820 --> 00:20:31,380 Just coming off of a cruise to Disney Cruise, 266 00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:36,440 they had one staff member to every five guests, right? 267 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:42,320 that's the ratio. So to make this really work well, if you're doing a camp thing, you 268 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,300 do like a three day cruise, three day camp, you know, you have one to five ratio, so you 269 00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:52,200 have that more one on one. The logistics of it, you have to have somebody that's running 270 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:58,900 this, that is your camp director, that has, this is what's going on, the assistant camp director, 271 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:04,080 and then you have all your counselors, right, and it's a big thing, and then you have your 272 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,160 cafeteria workers, they're making sure there's food and fed, and then you've got to look 273 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,580 at all these people and how they play, and then you have a magical experience, right? 274 00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:17,040 By the end of the camp, day three, they're crying as they're leaving because it's so amazing. 275 00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:17,660 That's right. 276 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm saying, like you definitely could have a grizzly camp 277 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:29,960 up at the outdoor learning center, and it could be amazing to us if you can, but the logistics 278 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:37,460 to it is it's got to be Disney legit school like over the top and you can get a lot of kids that 279 00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:44,280 volunteer with that like your service for sure now the cost of it your transportation busing that's 280 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,840 going to cost a bunch all your food and different things like that it's going to cost quite a bit so 281 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:54,000 there's a bunch of costs there but I think as the board we could allocate money funds for that 282 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,880 because I think it would retain a lot of kids but going wow that was amazing now these high schoolers 283 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:05,980 up there and these counselors are different people there helping me out and it's really 284 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,980 I think would be a great and then mainly it's the outdoor work part of the outdoor learning 285 00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:15,180 center because people ask what are we doing with that or how are we going to use that and 286 00:22:15,180 --> 00:22:19,480 that would get all the elementary kids up there going wow this is what's here and that's 287 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,540 a great use for that facility and you could break it up too you could do a three day camp 288 00:22:23,540 --> 00:22:28,560 here one month, three day camp here one month so that they have opportunity but like I said 289 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,940 there's a lot of logistics to it. 290 00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:31,880 We'd have to hire somebody here in the district 291 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,640 and we already wanted somebody up there 292 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,460 without the running center running it, 293 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,680 but that would be their job running these camps. 294 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,300 And I think this could be a thing 295 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,780 that could go on for 20, 30 years, right? 296 00:22:42,180 --> 00:22:44,100 I worked out a Boy Scout camp for three summers. 297 00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:45,840 It was like the best time I ever had. 298 00:22:46,340 --> 00:22:48,440 Then it was amazing to see the transformation 299 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,300 of those Boy Scouts back in the day when I was there. 300 00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:53,740 So it was pretty amazing. 301 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,840 And so I think that, and those are memories 302 00:22:58,100 --> 00:23:03,440 I think if you have an overnight thing, there tends to be a lot of issues and different 303 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:03,660 things. 304 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,540 So I think if you've come to the day camp, if you did overnight, you really have to button 305 00:23:08,540 --> 00:23:13,220 that down and really have a lot of stuff in place that provides safety because then you're 306 00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:18,040 dealing with safety issues and different things like that, a lot of students and stuff. 307 00:23:18,380 --> 00:23:24,440 So I think there's a lot there to say, but looking at this, I just think it will just 308 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,740 just explains there's a lot of busing of students to the elementary's and what's the cost 309 00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:34,420 on that and how's that benefiting, you know, and so I see this and I think that's great. 310 00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:42,540 And so I think there's a lot of different things, but to really get that one-on-one experience 311 00:23:42,540 --> 00:23:47,660 that we're talking about, I really think the Elder Door Learning Center, having a day 312 00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:52,980 camp up there, might really get that one-on-one experience like Katie's saying and especially, 313 00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:58,380 you have your different merit badges or activities right so hey we're gonna 314 00:23:58,380 --> 00:24:04,020 go talk about orchestra and this is our activity today this is they're 315 00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:07,240 doing this activity over here so like you have your different classes you go 316 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,160 to and it's set up this time and then you come together as a group and then you do 317 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,920 your camp songs you know we'll do the you teach them the camp songs and 318 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,320 different things and it's basically how the scout camp seems to be around and 319 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,200 and how the Disney crew is around, you know, every night you say, why do you have to bear 320 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,360 with you as well as part of that? 321 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,320 Yeah, that's right, that's right. 322 00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:29,180 So I... 323 00:24:29,180 --> 00:24:30,120 Don't bear with me. 324 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:31,000 Don't bear with me. 325 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:31,120 Don't bear with me. 326 00:24:31,260 --> 00:24:32,160 We already have... 327 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,200 I don't know if you're going to learn any sort of stuff. 328 00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:36,880 So I think we already have a facility there. 329 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,120 Because that's usually the logistic problem is where do you have it? 330 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:40,840 Where do you have it? 331 00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:41,300 Yeah. 332 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,120 So we already have it. 333 00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:43,380 We already have a lane of high. 334 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,140 That has a lot of great stuff as well. 335 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:52,660 But cost-wise is at the best use of our money, that's the question, you know, and that's 336 00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:53,320 the thing. 337 00:24:53,660 --> 00:24:58,960 Like, you look at it, like I was telling the superintendent one day, I said, our product 338 00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,780 is the students. 339 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,960 I want to know, what is that teacher, what is that staff members face to face interaction 340 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,740 with the students? 341 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:06,980 Like what is it? 342 00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:11,940 My interaction as a custodian is, I am literally a face to face with the students, probably 343 00:25:11,940 --> 00:25:17,920 Seven hours out of the day most of the time right like with them. They're quite a bit different things, right? 344 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,340 You know so 345 00:25:19,940 --> 00:25:23,520 You know and some of the administrators they're there for quite a bit of time 346 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:30,020 But sometimes they're two three hours not in front of the student because they're doing emails or different things 347 00:25:30,020 --> 00:25:35,920 Or did working on policies or whatever or you look at administration like Jared here, you know not a tagger 348 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,920 But he's not in front of the students that often he's here doing his financial stuff right and so 349 00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:45,400 So what's the face of value time in front of the students? 350 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,020 Are we getting the bank through the back out of that? 351 00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:54,280 So what's the capacity that that do our learning center can handle? 352 00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:59,360 We've met, told our schools to not take up more than 100. 353 00:26:00,620 --> 00:26:02,100 So we've captured that. 354 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,400 So for example, when middle school takes seventh grade, 355 00:26:06,620 --> 00:26:10,140 they split between the center and Coney Grove. 356 00:26:10,940 --> 00:26:12,920 So they're not so they're not overloaded. 357 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:21,200 I was just going to say so like if you wanted to keep a ratio of mentors to 358 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,780 Pamper and so we never were calling that. 359 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,140 Yeah, and that might be more of your at-risk students too because during the summer we had our 360 00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:29,660 summer lunch program where I worked out. 361 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,520 There's kids coming in doing more of our at-risk students. 362 00:26:32,940 --> 00:26:34,480 They're bored. They had nothing to do. 363 00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,760 And the highlight was coming to see Super Cole. 364 00:26:37,380 --> 00:26:37,960 I would say that. 365 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,980 come see me but it was to come get lunch and have me talk to them about how 366 00:26:41,980 --> 00:26:46,500 there's somebody to come on but yeah there's students that literally have 367 00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:51,340 nothing to do during the summertime and so this would give something for some 368 00:26:51,340 --> 00:26:59,360 of those students. Yeah, I'm one of those at-risk students. So maybe that's the 369 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:04,920 thing you do the camp geared towards more at your at-risk students and so that 370 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:11,540 narrows the number down. And then you could do a camp where you're going between the two 371 00:27:11,540 --> 00:27:15,860 Tony's Grove when you have more kids coming. That's what I'm saying. You could do 372 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,060 this this three-day camp because you're at risk. Kids that's who's coming for this is what we're 373 00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:26,700 going to do. This is for our promote grids, Logan High. This is all we're going to do is prone 374 00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:31,000 like Logan High and we're going to do it for this two weeks period of time and you guys are coming 375 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,520 And then you've got to figure out the compensation too because sometimes, you know, you could get teachers to come. 376 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:44,100 Teachers are always looking for summer work or summer thing but that's the thing too is you're doing retirement issues too with that. 377 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,200 Because I've had teachers that want to do summer cleaning but because of retirement, they're not able to work. 378 00:27:51,060 --> 00:27:57,240 So that's another thing you'd have to figure out. Could you do this through the foundation where the foundations paying teachers over the summer? 379 00:27:57,940 --> 00:28:04,340 I, you know, so you know, don't that, but there's a lot there because I know teachers are 380 00:28:04,340 --> 00:28:07,100 looking for summer work and would love to do stuff like that. 381 00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:09,060 So I don't know. 382 00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:11,140 That's just my two cents. 383 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,560 So what's the goal of this conversation? 384 00:28:12,940 --> 00:28:13,000 Yeah. 385 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,180 Because we're kind of like, yeah. 386 00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:16,100 That's a good call. 387 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:16,840 Yeah. 388 00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:17,720 Yeah. 389 00:28:19,380 --> 00:28:21,060 Well, we did do that, didn't we? 390 00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:21,240 Check. 391 00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:25,940 So I think we wanted to share what is already being done. 392 00:28:26,260 --> 00:28:28,300 And then the workshop portion is like, 393 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,300 are there any more thoughts about this? 394 00:28:33,740 --> 00:28:37,700 I think our student body officers need to delete out. 395 00:28:38,420 --> 00:28:40,620 So whatever we're doing, I think our student body officers 396 00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:42,340 that should be a part of their training process. 397 00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:42,800 Yeah. 398 00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:45,420 And it should be room for other people. 399 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,040 But I think our student body officers should be the ones 400 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,060 that are leading out on this. 401 00:28:49,780 --> 00:28:55,240 I think our athletics programs need to be doing this as well. 402 00:28:55,580 --> 00:28:59,120 They need to be reaching back as much as possible, especially when there's a 403 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:06,060 like for like program and I think we yeah so I think those are two things and I 404 00:29:06,060 --> 00:29:08,640 think there's ways we can do this for like restitution for people who are 405 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,620 issues with like class you know if they're having not having ages or something 406 00:29:13,620 --> 00:29:15,860 like there could be ways for them like we need you to connect. 407 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,800 The other thing I think is like we could do something as simple as saying, hey senior, 408 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,680 these are your three or four little brothers, little sisters. 409 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,720 You're assigned these freshmen, and that's like something as simple as that, and that's 410 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,060 their job. 411 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,040 They just have their picture, and they say, how are you doing, you know? 412 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:36,780 They fist bump. 413 00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:39,200 Lydia, it's nice to see you. 414 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,320 My daughter is going in there next year, and they could be your brother assigned or somebody 415 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:43,560 else. 416 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:51,820 but just like nice to see Lydia and that's it and I think that's it. There was a kid who a 417 00:29:51,820 --> 00:29:59,980 senior who once said that's Nathan's brother. We don't mess with him. A senior. My brother was just someone he knew. 418 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:14,180 And that was like, that was hugely meaningful, and that was literally the only time he's ever talked to me in my life. But that is a big deal in your freshman. I'm not alone here. Somebody knows my name. 419 00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:17,280 Oh, what about that same concept for sixth graders? 420 00:30:17,660 --> 00:30:20,720 Well, the other day's grader, and my father. 421 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,040 They're a little more separated, though, right? 422 00:30:22,380 --> 00:30:30,120 They are, but I think even just, I think, so like the fifth graders have their kind of 423 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,320 reading buddies and like how meaningful that is. 424 00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:39,400 And you could, but like that's the same concept, the eighth graders to this, sixth graders 425 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:47,220 in the seniors to the freshman. But you could also, because the freshmen are trying to navigate 426 00:30:47,220 --> 00:30:52,640 their way, but now the freshmen, their hot stuff, compared to when they were in eighth grade, 427 00:30:53,780 --> 00:30:59,200 if they can have opportunity, and if we can find a way to facilitate it, 428 00:30:59,780 --> 00:31:03,740 to connect them back to some of the eighth graders or the sixth graders, 429 00:31:04,540 --> 00:31:11,860 They can feel like, oh, I'm not just a freshman, but I'm helping these kids that are going 430 00:31:11,860 --> 00:31:12,920 to be freshmen. 431 00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:18,820 Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe somebody, but we don't, maybe somebody it reaches out to the 432 00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:22,260 student government and said, here are some thoughts, where do you want to take this? 433 00:31:22,620 --> 00:31:26,060 What do you think would be most beneficial? 434 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,400 How would you do this? 435 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,920 And I would say not just the student body officers, although I did have the thought, our 436 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,720 their SBOs have like their prep for the school year, 437 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,800 who, how, whatever they do in the summer. 438 00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:42,080 I think middle school does the same thing. 439 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,380 It could be really cool to combine them 440 00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:49,600 for a half a day or whatever the SBOs 441 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,680 that are prepping for this year at the high school 442 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,980 and the ones that are prepping for the middle school 443 00:31:54,330 --> 00:31:55,520 could be really cool for them. 444 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,080 But that is a side thought. 445 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:06,700 But I think getting the SBOs and saying, what do you want to do with this? 446 00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:10,800 We want you to reach out to the freshman, we want you to reach out to the most school 447 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,440 in elementary. 448 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,520 How do you want to do that? 449 00:32:13,660 --> 00:32:15,140 How can we support you do that? 450 00:32:15,380 --> 00:32:16,840 What ideas do you have? 451 00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:28,060 But I think it would be good to go to leaders in each of the areas of the school in the 452 00:32:28,060 --> 00:32:34,820 different athletic or like groups. And this is part of leadership in your 453 00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:40,300 club. This is part of leadership. You've got a club in Logan High. You are 454 00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:44,640 responsible to help the kids that are coming behind you. What do you want to do 455 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,500 with that? That's part of your charge. And the same thing for those athletic like 456 00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:57,680 the whoever, what's the word y'all? Captains like 15 captains. The leadership of 457 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:03,920 those teams what do you all want to do as a team to build up the coming and I 458 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,440 think we need to give more opportunities I think some sports do better than 459 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,100 others for you're saying you do you need to have team captains because we're 460 00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,480 training hard leaders and if we don't give our kids 461 00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:17,900 we're all incredibly impressive that young man in Bridger 462 00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:22,920 yeah right and he's an SPO officer and he doesn't have a ton and I worry that when 463 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,360 he gets middle school he's an SPO officer he's like I don't have that much 464 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:33,860 influence that we lose like this spark of somebody who was incredibly mature and comfortable 465 00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:38,240 with adults and everything. And so I do think we need to give, if we're going to have 466 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,160 captain, we need to have every sport you have captains, they need to have a part of their 467 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:48,760 job to look back in. Because we're not winning state champions for everything. So what are 468 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:55,160 we doing for sports outside of training kids to be good women and so let's give them 469 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,220 opportunities to do that and not just worry about whether or not they're winning some event. 470 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:08,620 I mean, we don't even have enough like champions even to pass around to do that and so, but I do 471 00:34:08,620 --> 00:34:12,900 think there's something to do and I think these camp ideas aren't good. I think what we want to do is we want 472 00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:20,300 to look at the structure we have in place and work within what we already have. 473 00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:29,480 The way they made telegraph systems work is they also use carrier pigeons when they had caps. 474 00:34:30,220 --> 00:34:33,140 You've got to work with whatever is already there to do the use of it. 475 00:34:35,220 --> 00:34:40,420 I think athletics is already in place, and like you said, make sure everyone has a captain. 476 00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:44,600 They have a simple, easy, and the captain has a responsibility. 477 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,640 responsibility, middle school, middle school as a responsibility for you, the SBOs there, 478 00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:59,800 elementary school, and our kids might surprise us, I think they'll blow us away, or maybe 479 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,480 we expect that they're amazing at least, they won't surprise us, we're like, yeah, of course 480 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,020 they're gonna do it. 481 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,180 I mean, they're teenagers and they're gonna be dumb things, but they're also gonna do everything 482 00:35:08,180 --> 00:35:08,660 stuff. 483 00:35:08,660 --> 00:35:17,380 I think one of the things that I'm hearing as we talk about this and thinking about as 484 00:35:17,380 --> 00:35:26,240 I look at the chart of what we've got in front of us is like one-off things like these 485 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:36,040 events or a camp versus continued sustained connection yeah and I think the one-off things 486 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:42,720 are great and I don't think we should stop them but I think they continue to sustain connections 487 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:49,480 or maybe where we should put some more more examples. Yeah, organic and we have a much bigger impact. 488 00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:56,100 And then we'll fail. These things are going to fail at portions with this with any, but we don't have 489 00:35:56,100 --> 00:36:01,400 to be. It's not good when we're everything's being controlled by the principal or by the district 490 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:08,460 office. It just won't work. It's not your thing. I don't know if we could blow it off. 491 00:36:08,580 --> 00:36:15,240 We probably can't this year, but an idea for next year. But we talk a lot about going back to 492 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:19,940 the elementary school or back to the middle school. But I think it's really cool when they come 493 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:25,880 to the high school or the elementary kids come to the middle school. But maybe next year at 494 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:33,840 at homecoming, we could invite those SBOs or those club leaders in the middle school to 495 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:41,960 participate in the parade and the Logan Hyde parade, know the middle school students. 496 00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:47,000 They are, yeah every school is going to invite into participating in the parade so all the 497 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:51,220 schools are doing floats. So I know that my daughter was invited to participate. 498 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,960 Is that a new thing? Yeah, that's new this year. 499 00:36:53,960 --> 00:37:04,460 I love it. I can't imagine that having the middle school come do a football game for free is going to have that much of an impact on our budget either. 500 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:04,780 No. 501 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:11,280 And so we say, for our homecoming, all middle school kids get in for free. You know, that's your day. 502 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,480 And we do that for basketball. We have a middle school night at basketball, is that right? 503 00:37:16,540 --> 00:37:16,780 We do. 504 00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:21,900 And I think with the sports, what you might be able to do, because they currently have 505 00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:27,460 recognition nights by school, so like this is Adam's night, it works with him's night. 506 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,980 So then they recognize, you know, student leaders from that school and the students from 507 00:37:32,980 --> 00:37:36,560 that school give in, I'm pretty sure they get them for free, but we can follow up with that. 508 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,800 So yeah, doing something like that, or say, tonight everybody from Adam's gets in free, 509 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,420 tonight everybody from Bridget's in free, this night everybody from Alec gets in free, I mean, 510 00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:49,980 we can we can because you didn't want right there was a one with shirts last year 511 00:37:49,980 --> 00:37:54,420 there before at the basketball game but first yeah yeah kids or something and 512 00:37:54,420 --> 00:37:59,640 they're all there with their shirts on yeah they're so excited um weird thought 513 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:06,200 of something to add to what we already have with that if they like if it's 514 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,320 Adam's night at the football game have all the football players that were 515 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:18,960 Adam's owls, like also, like, make it so that they can see each other, that they can 516 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,700 know each other, and acknowledge that they are the same. 517 00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:24,820 So do I, I don't know. 518 00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:30,120 Yeah, something like half time making, if you're here because it's Adam's night and you're 519 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:36,760 an Adam's owl, we have the Adam's owls that are the current team that picture the sun and 520 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,760 and high five a month, they spend a few minutes just being. 521 00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:42,220 And I think that's it. 522 00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:47,600 I think back to the point that we might want 523 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,960 to reach out to the teachers and say, 524 00:38:50,140 --> 00:38:55,000 how do we integrate success stories from former students 525 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,180 to come in to connect with the students here? 526 00:38:57,700 --> 00:39:00,620 I can't imagine that any of us wouldn't drop, 527 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,400 like do a lot for our high schools. 528 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,200 Oh, yeah. 529 00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:05,360 If they call us and say, could you just tell us 530 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:12,160 about anything. My high school call me about anything. I probably run to do that. I think 531 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,580 a lot of people would do that because we have these fond memories. I mean because yeah. 532 00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:21,840 And so I think that I think that it would be easier to get to an even like at the university 533 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,880 level because we're not asking them for money all the time. They're just like, yeah, they'd 534 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:31,300 love to shop. And so if we talk to teachers and said as a part of your planning for school 535 00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:35,980 next year, how can you integrate an alumni as like a guest speaker, whether it's in 536 00:39:35,980 --> 00:39:40,760 what homeland and then we don't, also we're not doing all that work, and they're thinking 537 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,180 about like, like let's do some bit calls where we have somebody created right and get it 538 00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:49,200 a writer and even if they didn't go to Logan High somebody that's, we've got enough writers 539 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:49,880 in Utah. 540 00:39:50,540 --> 00:39:51,620 Yeah, they do that. 541 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,480 But yeah, for sure. 542 00:39:53,660 --> 00:39:53,800 Yeah. 543 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:59,500 I'm just thinking of, is Adams that was the basement in Stanford's life? 544 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:00,400 Oh, is that what they do? 545 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:01,680 Oh, yeah. 546 00:40:01,940 --> 00:40:03,520 Because he's from Presley, I thought, right? 547 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,340 No, right. 548 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,140 He is here. 549 00:40:06,580 --> 00:40:06,880 Oh, really? 550 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:07,980 Yeah. 551 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:08,420 There you go. 552 00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:09,080 Yeah. 553 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,200 Adams in the middle school is the basement. 554 00:40:14,620 --> 00:40:14,900 Yeah. 555 00:40:16,020 --> 00:40:20,980 So I think of the Keven contact with them, and they asked someone to come back. 556 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:30,860 I mean, every time an elementary of mental school has asked me to do anything, I've always said yes, if I can't. 557 00:40:32,220 --> 00:40:33,720 It's not a thing you say no to. 558 00:40:34,420 --> 00:40:39,600 And so, yeah, I think that I don't think that's unique. 559 00:40:40,020 --> 00:40:44,700 So I think if we can do that, then we're pushing that so that it's more of an organic effort. 560 00:40:44,940 --> 00:40:48,160 And I think to me, that would be two things that I think we could start to do. 561 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:54,680 that are very natural and easy, but it's not that hard. 562 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,280 No, just not like one class that you're doing this, 563 00:40:57,580 --> 00:40:58,360 to do it anyway. 564 00:40:59,420 --> 00:41:03,320 Well, I think most teachers fill the power of that too. 565 00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:07,180 But I think if we're going to start doing that, 566 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,280 we want to start recording this, 567 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,260 so that it's that we understand these efforts 568 00:41:12,180 --> 00:41:15,920 and have them so that we can connect with them. 569 00:41:17,420 --> 00:41:17,900 I 570 00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:20,650 like that. 571 00:41:21,150 --> 00:41:23,250 Well, Frank, do you have any questions for us? 572 00:41:23,710 --> 00:41:26,530 Is there anything that you wanted to get out of this conversation that you have? 573 00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:27,750 No. 574 00:41:28,070 --> 00:41:33,670 I mean, we've got, I mean, we're, this year, we're working with, it's an outside company 575 00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:41,550 that does post-graduation surveys for seniors, so they do a graduation survey a year after, 576 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:46,510 or five years after, and they help put together your alumni database. 577 00:41:46,510 --> 00:41:53,210 So it is easier to reach out and make those contacts and we're finding out where our students are. 578 00:41:53,310 --> 00:41:56,730 They graduate from college and they're getting certificates, where they're working, what they're doing. 579 00:41:57,430 --> 00:42:03,430 So that should help us be in a better position to find and identify people to reach out to 580 00:42:03,430 --> 00:42:06,150 and say, and we come back and do this and some things there. 581 00:42:08,210 --> 00:42:14,490 Getting elementary students to more low-than-high events, we can talk with the admin over there and see, 582 00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:19,530 first of all, confirm what's already in place and see if there's something we can do to enhance that. 583 00:42:20,410 --> 00:42:26,810 And the other things, I think it's really important that the ideas of how this works are generated not in this room, 584 00:42:27,410 --> 00:42:31,530 but are generated at the schools. And that's been said a couple times. 585 00:42:32,350 --> 00:42:39,370 So, I mean, working with them and just talking with the SPO advisors, talking with the admin about, 586 00:42:39,370 --> 00:42:47,010 Okay, what are, what are some natural next steps that you can see going to the rest of your point about the existing framework? 587 00:42:47,410 --> 00:42:51,470 Yeah, let's get what's the natural next step if we want to keep building this we want to keep 588 00:42:52,050 --> 00:42:59,290 Helping more of our younger great students who connect it to the high school. What's the natural next thing for us to do? 589 00:42:59,490 --> 00:43:04,630 Because then people say oh, okay. Well, this is this is an easy next step. We're already doing something like it 590 00:43:04,630 --> 00:43:06,790 we could just add this element to it. 591 00:43:07,110 --> 00:43:09,950 And I think if we can do that, we'll have much more success 592 00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:14,390 in having things happen that they can endure, 593 00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:17,110 and they can keep growing, they can snowball, 594 00:43:18,330 --> 00:43:19,490 and keep going from that. 595 00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:22,710 So we'll start talking with the admin at the high school 596 00:43:22,710 --> 00:43:26,390 about how we can start working with the teachers and the staff. 597 00:43:26,830 --> 00:43:28,630 It's what April's doing with the homecoming parade. 598 00:43:29,070 --> 00:43:32,310 You know, first, she started inviting all alumni 599 00:43:32,310 --> 00:43:37,170 night to ride on a float in the parade. And then you start saying let's get all of the 600 00:43:37,170 --> 00:43:42,510 schools to come put a float in the parade. So it's just awesome. Adding one thing at 601 00:43:42,510 --> 00:43:46,890 a time, natural next step, and it just keeps growing from there. 602 00:43:47,830 --> 00:43:54,790 One thought is, as we, we do, a lot of what we've talked about connects the students to each 603 00:43:54,790 --> 00:43:59,990 other. The older students and the younger students together. But a lot of those decisions 604 00:43:59,990 --> 00:44:02,310 of are they going to stay in this district? 605 00:44:02,590 --> 00:44:04,190 Are they going to become a grizzly? 606 00:44:04,410 --> 00:44:05,710 It's their parents' decision. 607 00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:09,710 More often than it is the students' decision. 608 00:44:10,430 --> 00:44:13,670 And I would say if the kid is excited to go to Logan High, 609 00:44:13,790 --> 00:44:14,410 that will help. 610 00:44:15,230 --> 00:44:19,390 But I think when we invite those elementary kids 611 00:44:19,390 --> 00:44:21,910 to come to a high school game, one 612 00:44:21,910 --> 00:44:27,050 of the real perks of that, the frosting, I guess, on the cake, 613 00:44:27,050 --> 00:44:34,770 is that they bring mom and dad with and that gets them connected to being 614 00:44:34,770 --> 00:44:40,930 grisly as well, which I think is also really important. It's in large parts 615 00:44:40,930 --> 00:44:47,690 then that we have to connect with as well. I would tell you that as a parent 616 00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:53,230 more convincing would be something with like the arts though. I agree. Because we 617 00:44:53,230 --> 00:44:59,590 do very well at the arts and again the kids could be inappropriate you know the fans we might lose the game 618 00:44:59,590 --> 00:44:59,970 and you met a... 619 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,900 Revs or whatever, that's just a nature sport. That's part of the language sports. But if you go to musical performance or play or something, I mean, I've always, I've never been a good singer, but I've always wanted to sing in the hell of a chorus, chorus. And then when I thought I wouldn't let anyone do that, I did that. That was awesome. But that was the first time when I became a grizzly, because I wasn't my kids weren't at school here. I knew somebody here, but I was like, I get to do a goal that I've always had, because I would never have been invited to be a good part. I'm not tacky. 620 00:45:33,260 --> 00:45:39,100 But I think that things like that, that is very sticky as opposed to, so I think sports 621 00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:47,660 are easy, but I think we get them to our musicals, our orchestra, you know, Rachel Wheeler's 622 00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:54,440 doing, I mean, it's just, it's very, it's very powerful and so that's, if we got, we could 623 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,000 have time to try to set something up, but if we got more elementary students to come 624 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,180 or because of Halloween concert? 625 00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:02,280 Yes, and that's a sell. 626 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,140 That's amazing. 627 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:04,640 That thing's amazing. 628 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,940 Even if you don't play an instrument. 629 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,580 You know, I have to play an instrument. 630 00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:10,820 That's fun. 631 00:46:11,260 --> 00:46:12,140 It's kind of stuff here. 632 00:46:12,420 --> 00:46:14,380 So I agree. 633 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:19,640 In addition to getting kids into athletic events for free, 634 00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:20,640 you are there. 635 00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:23,400 Now, we often do the matinee's, 636 00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:25,080 but not every school does the matinee's. 637 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:31,060 Um, just because of scheduling realities, but if we, you know, said, hey, this performance, 638 00:46:32,660 --> 00:46:38,000 any kid wearing their, their low-income city school district t-shirt gets in free. 639 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:38,700 Yeah. 640 00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:38,920 Yeah. 641 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:39,940 I didn't come with that. 642 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,420 With a parent. 643 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:42,680 With a parent. 644 00:46:42,820 --> 00:46:42,940 Yeah. 645 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:43,820 He's in 3-2. 646 00:46:44,340 --> 00:46:44,780 Yeah. 647 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:45,240 Yeah. 648 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,300 So this is my conversation and all. 649 00:46:47,740 --> 00:46:53,180 But it made me think of back in the day, the crimson colony used to go to the schools and 650 00:46:53,180 --> 00:46:59,260 perform for the kids and one boy for me that was their school they got and they get one 651 00:46:59,260 --> 00:47:01,920 of the girls from the audience and they dance with them while they're playing actually 652 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:02,240 in the show. 653 00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:05,140 My niece is an nephew's one I asked inside. 654 00:47:05,860 --> 00:47:10,180 That was their, that was the clinch for them, they just remember that, they taught my, 655 00:47:10,900 --> 00:47:14,900 my husband got his niece when she was there because he was in the front of the colony but 656 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:16,620 that's one of those moments. 657 00:47:16,860 --> 00:47:21,740 I mean, they do stuff like that though but orchestra can take them on some one go to perform. 658 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:29,480 And band does. Band and orchestra do. They do a trip that they go around. So they can see 659 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,820 everything. I haven't heard about choir. Yeah they've got their. They've been looking at us 660 00:47:33,820 --> 00:47:39,700 recruiting opportunities. So the performing arts are going around. We get to other schools and 661 00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:45,320 they just get in so they can give in and create some of those experiences. It could be cool to do that 662 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:51,220 with similar visual arts as well. Our program is pretty phenomenal like our photography 663 00:47:51,220 --> 00:48:05,960 program and our program is very hidden, but phenomenal.
