00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:51,790
special meetings of our year and is the last meeting of the school year

14
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,140

As I continue with the business of the board,

22
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:39,500
I'd like to note that there are,

23
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:41,700

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:01,780

00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:02,180

39
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:03,580

40
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:05,200

41
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,780
Thank you, Mr. Writer.

42
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:07,940
Yes.

43
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:09,540
Mr. O'Connor.

44
00:02:09,740 --> 00:02:09,920
Yes.

45
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,740
Yes. Mrs. Tormi? Yes. Motion carry. Thank you very much.

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,960
With that, I'd like to turn the program over to Dr. Yarelite.

47
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Thank you, Yarelite. Thanks for being here tonight.

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:32,040
I'm just very, very special tonight and very, very special celebration of our students, of our staff, of our community.

49
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:37,240
We haven't been able to do this for a little while so I'm so particularly excited

50
00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:41,400
for those of the kind of fan sections or people,

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,520
and just really excited.

52
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:45,960
It's kind of a beautiful night of celebration.

53
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:51,540
And if we could meet, we would place a certificate

54
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:54,240
in everyone's hands, because as far as I'm concerned,

55
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,100
the people who work here with students who attend here

56
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:58,940
and we have the privilege of educating every day

57
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:00,540
are beyond special.

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,800
And it is always my honor to serve as a beautiful community.

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:17,840
So, first in our program tonight, we have a recognition of our students, and I would like to invite Principal James Hauffman from Honorable Elementary School to join me.

60
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:18,580
It

61
00:03:49,810 --> 00:04:03,650
is exciting to get to recognize, not only students but staff seeming, it is always a privilege to get to speak to some of the great things that are happening in our school each and every day.

62
00:04:03,650 --> 00:04:09,910
and as Dr. Care be pointed out, there are things that have been in every classroom every day,

63
00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:11,950
all the time, that are worth the announcement.

64
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:20,790
But tonight we're here to recognize a very special group of students, some really wonderful

65
00:04:20,790 --> 00:04:21,230
things.

66
00:04:22,030 --> 00:04:28,530
I have some notes here that Mrs. Rogers was kind enough to share with me today in kind of

67
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:31,070
recognizing our steam tank competition,

68
00:04:31,630 --> 00:04:36,650
students who were amazing in the work that they put forward.

69
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:41,770
Out of over 500 teams that entered the steam tank competition,

70
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:48,070
10 of our school's teams advanced onto the second round.

71
00:04:48,590 --> 00:04:49,570
And two of them.

72
00:04:55,570 --> 00:04:59,730
And only 17 schools at the elementary level,

73
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:09,230
only 17 teams at the elementary school level, advanced on as far as two of our schools teams did.

74
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:20,670
We had the team pumpkin pusher as well as the team elevator and shelf group that advanced so far

75
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:25,130
and two of only 17 elementary school teams to advance as far as they did.

76
00:05:25,130 --> 00:05:31,910
they've worked with Mrs. Rogers and really collaborated as a team, the team

77
00:05:31,910 --> 00:05:37,010
warmth was fantastic, the ideas were fantastic and I'd certainly like to at

78
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:41,850
this time recognize our members of Team Pumpkin Pusher who are calling with me

79
00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:43,730
moment, John Cabean,

80
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,040
Mrs. Lilligrow and Scarlett Wallace, and the

81
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:38,260
elevating shell

82
00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:43,480
that is Emmy Madrigal, Jordan Dimes, and Park India as well

83
00:07:34,010 --> 00:07:35,470
as all the teams

84
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:39,970
that entered the competition and those that advanced even beyond the first round.

85
00:07:40,850 --> 00:07:48,890
I also like to recognize a very special young lady who brought great pride to our school

86
00:07:48,890 --> 00:07:55,590
through a beautiful essay that was written in regards to conserving wildlife, to the conserved

87
00:07:55,590 --> 00:07:57,290
wildlife foundation of New Jersey.

88
00:07:57,890 --> 00:08:04,850
Her essay and poster was selected as the top overall for all of Monmouth County, April

89
00:08:04,850 --> 00:08:07,510
You are a wonderful young man.

90
00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:38,610
I'm off to the table.

91
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,220
Principal of Theater Drive Home Schools, Dr. Colin Ray-Kayton.

92
00:09:09,830 --> 00:09:12,070
Members of the Board of Education, this opportunity

93
00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:15,170
to join you tonight to celebrate some of our outstanding

94
00:09:15,170 --> 00:09:17,250
accomplishments of our students and staff.

95
00:09:18,290 --> 00:09:19,890

96
00:09:20,230 --> 00:09:22,210
I'm so excited to be recognized tonight,

97
00:09:22,390 --> 00:09:24,870
but also a big shout out to all of our staff and students

98
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:27,030
for, I think, well, their hard work, care,

99
00:09:27,210 --> 00:09:31,010
dedication this year for a great 2002, 2003 school year.

100
00:09:31,010 --> 00:09:32,910
And I think that's a

101
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:43,480
different way of celebrating two of our Cedar Rock students with their

102
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,700
accomplishments in BAN.

103
00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:51,260
So with that, I will just like to invite Mr. Jeff Brown, just to give a quick look up here

104
00:09:51,260 --> 00:09:51,860
things

105
00:09:58,610 --> 00:10:00,170
that we can share with you.

106
00:10:00,390 --> 00:10:04,390
The selection process for the all-story intermediate band is very intense.

107
00:10:05,210 --> 00:10:10,550
Once selected, it continues to be intense with the number of practices that the students

108
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:13,170
who's worked with students from Ocean and Mom and County

109
00:10:13,170 --> 00:10:15,730
to then have this celebratory concert

110
00:10:16,130 --> 00:10:18,490
that is put on and is something very, very special.

111
00:10:19,170 --> 00:10:21,850
So we're so excited to share with you two of our students

112
00:10:21,850 --> 00:10:24,210
that were selected to the all-shore band in here.

113
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:28,050
The first is seventh grader, okay, Madeleine Panou.

114
00:10:28,370 --> 00:10:28,790
I

115
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:48,920

certainly see your drafts are well done.

122
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,760
To a group of people who are so special and

123
00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:59,560
tired and really energetic at the same time

124
00:12:00,090 --> 00:12:05,480
but I'm making reference to the outgoing PTO board. Now some are not

125
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:12,100
out outgoing, they've been recruited to stay, but if you have the opportunity to glance

126
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:20,100
over our agenda, in addition to all the emails that you receive from Mr. Capast on behalf

127
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:26,980
of the PTO, on all of the newsletter incorporations from Conor Romance to all of the information

128
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:32,620
media, it starts with the foundation of leadership that you have provided to the Code of

129
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:37,260
an account of Board of Education for like two and a half years, almost three years,

130
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,440
because you stayed on a bishop home with your board.

131
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:43,540
We're following schools, stay on a great additional time.

132
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:50,380
And on behalf of the entire district of the Board of Education, I am so grateful for all

133
00:12:50,380 --> 00:12:51,080
that you have done.

134
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:56,380
And we want to recognize all that you've done in your country, and throughout the year,

135
00:12:57,020 --> 00:13:01,660
and talking with the meeting with me, getting me, and all of those things in support of

136
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:02,540
of our students.

137
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,980
And many of them, all of those things,

138
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,760
you were tirelessly to support the environment

139
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000
and the experiences here in Coltsman.

140
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:16,180
And I brag about you every chance I get.

141
00:13:16,540 --> 00:13:18,700
I celebrate you every chance I get

142
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,480
because you are part of such a huge part

143
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:25,420
of what makes Coltsman unique and special.

144
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,920
And in case you didn't see it before, I bring them up.

145
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:36,320

Our

150
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,860
conversation is going to go for things we talked about for our classrooms, for our

151
00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:13,920
students, flexible seating, outdoor spaces, things that have a lot been aligned, and

152

00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:11,120
nominations for annual teachers of the year and educational service professionals

172
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:17,560
of the year. At this year, we have another very special group of people to

173
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,800
recognize and celebrate as our teachers and education service professionals of

174
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:34,080
So I'm going to start with Conor Maroon Primary School, the teachers of the year and educational

175
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,420
service profession on the earth.

176
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,480
But if there's some reason, I think I should make new people hear for Mrs. Scipito.

177
00:22:02,610 --> 00:22:08,270
You know, Foster and Janet have been in school, it's a blessing, so thank you for making my

178
00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:08,570
job.

179
00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:58,040
is an occupational therapist and sees an array of students every year and continues

180
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:04,260
health, foster, developmental growth with our students and with their needs and the most

181
00:23:04,260 --> 00:23:07,060
amazing way. So thank you and a round of applause again for the

182
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,880
2023 education leaders,

183
00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:27,420
especially people of the year. We have our education service professional of the year from

184
00:23:27,420 --> 00:23:31,020
We're on the board of the Medjee School, the league's Lisa McAfee.

185
00:23:31,420 --> 00:23:31,860
One

186
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,760
of our instructional assistants in our district, and for those of you who don't know what that is,

187
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:59,420
she's helped her being and in so many ways, she is trying to give care, direction, guidance,

188
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:03,540
and more than not loved to the students she works with.

189
00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:08,760
So on behalf of Board of Education and Teachers Administration,

190
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,820
and thank you very much. Congratulations on the 20th and 20th grade.

191
00:24:31,030 --> 00:24:35,050
Teacher of the year, you may recognize her.

192
00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:39,170
You may recognize her, because you've ever been at the carless team.

193
00:24:40,290 --> 00:24:42,410
I can't have a road elementary school in the morning.

194
00:24:43,570 --> 00:24:46,230
She may or may not have bars that he'd love long.

195
00:24:47,510 --> 00:24:49,790
She may or may not be dancing to music.

196
00:24:50,510 --> 00:24:52,610
She may or may not have fun homes.

197
00:24:53,390 --> 00:25:02,430
on any given day, but on most days, if not all days, she's smiling, and she's one of the first

198
00:25:02,430 --> 00:25:07,530
pages that students see as they're walking into the building. And for that, in addition,

199
00:25:08,350 --> 00:25:15,730
on top of being an amazing individual and teacher, the 2023 Teacher of the Year,

200
00:25:15,730 --> 00:25:17,990
and honor of our elementary school, Mrs. Jenkel.

201
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:18,750
Thank

202
00:25:42,050 --> 00:25:42,750
you, Ms. Every Morning.

203
00:25:42,890 --> 00:25:46,740
I'm not going to work in the school at a great place to be.

204
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,460
So thank you to everybody for all your love and support.

205
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,400
We're

206
00:26:00,670 --> 00:26:01,930
going to move on to Cedar Drive.

207
00:26:02,930 --> 00:26:08,870
And our 2023 education service professional of the year

208
00:26:08,870 --> 00:26:10,350
couldn't be here tonight.

209
00:26:11,010 --> 00:26:13,970
Ms. Diane Gilmer is also an instructional assistant

210
00:26:14,410 --> 00:26:16,470
who works very closely in supporting

211
00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:18,870
the needs of our students every single day.

212
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:24,870
It's an invaluable member of the Cedar Drive community, and we are so honored to recognize

213
00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:25,450
her tonight.

214
00:26:25,570 --> 00:26:29,350
We'll make sure she gets her goodies, but one more, more importantly, we want to celebrate

215
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:30,190
it with random applause.

216
00:26:30,770 --> 00:26:30,870
I

217
00:26:39,100 --> 00:26:40,420
suppose they last but not least.

218
00:26:42,860 --> 00:26:43,360
But not least.

219
00:26:46,870 --> 00:26:55,710
It is my distinct honor to introduce to you the 2020 Cedar Drive teacher of the year, a

220
00:26:56,330 --> 00:26:59,050
teacher who has been energetic since the start.

221
00:26:59,050 --> 00:27:06,970
I teach her that I was excited about from the moment he's got across from me at an interview table.

222
00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:14,490
Who I knew would take the school culture, the school climate, and the students to the next level.

223
00:27:15,270 --> 00:27:19,070
And I'm grateful each and every day to call him one of my colleagues.

224
00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:27,450
And so without further ado, the 2023 teacher of the year, Cedar Driver School, Mr. Joseph, your musician.

225
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,700
So if you're there with me, tell you to do this special, first of all, congratulations to everyone in our class.

226
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,140
The really happy to be next to all of you guys and get this award.

227
00:27:53,820 --> 00:27:55,400
Congratulations to our students and baddies.

228
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:57,400
It is a pleasure to teach you guys.

229
00:27:57,540 --> 00:28:01,580
Thank you and congrats on your efforts and your success.

230
00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:05,300
Today, Cedar Drive from the Brookdale Community College on a go trip

231
00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:07,700
as a way to extend our hall across the United States.

232
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:21,840
organization. And I'm walking around campus today. I'm reminded of myself 12 years ago on campus, unsure about what I wanted to, not sure if I think it's teacher, not sure if I think it's probably running late class.

233
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:34,860
But I take it with around students that I'm with and I'm taking attendance and I see students talking to a hot car survivor. I see students asking questions to curators. I see students pointing out things that we think are actually doing class.

234
00:28:34,860 --> 00:28:39,960
and there's no greater feeling in the world than being a part of that experience.

235
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:42,660
So, to our future, I'll poke that.

236
00:28:43,900 --> 00:28:44,560
Thank you guys for coming.

237
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,580
Good nature of America, there's no dream too big.

238
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,440
Whatever you do, you'll get to get one out of it.

239
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,360
Thank you guys and let's go back to that.

240
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:52,800
I'm

241
00:29:03,740 --> 00:29:06,560
going to include the banking clue, the rapid mission program.

242
00:29:06,740 --> 00:29:08,860
I do have to say one of the benefits of being in different tenants

243
00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:10,940
when the teachers are walking up and maybe do we have to talk?

244
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:11,500
You say yes.

245
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:14,080
And they do it, so that's right.

246
00:29:16,340 --> 00:29:19,300
If we could just have one more fan of applause for all of us.

247
00:29:32,930 --> 00:29:38,010
I'll be turning it back to Mrs. Tormi, who I know is going to participate.

248
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:44,850
We'll likely call for five minute recess for those who would like to, you know, move on from the meeting.

249
00:29:45,210 --> 00:29:47,150
If they'd like or you're welcome to stay as well.

250
00:29:47,570 --> 00:29:51,890
But we would also like anyone who likes to take a photo opportunity, like our teachers of the year.

251
00:29:51,890 --> 00:29:55,830
and certainly your face will be free to join us in the state for a further one.

252
00:29:56,130 --> 00:29:57,130
Okay, thank you very much.
