GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

STARTING OFF STRONG WITH RECOGNITIONS.

ON DECEMBER 21ST, WE HAD TWO SENIORS GRADUATE; ALEXIS AGUILAR AND ANDREW [INAUDIBLE].

THEY SUCCESSFULLY PRESENTED THEIR SENIOR PROJECTS, MAKING THEM GRADUATES NUMBER TWO AND THREE.

ON DECEMBER 12TH, WE HELD OUR STUDENT OF THE MONTH STUDENT OF THE MONTH RALLY FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER.

OUR CHAPARRAL STUDENT OF THE MONTH WAS ALEXIS AGUILAR AND OUR VISTA SENIOR OF THE MONTH WAS CALEB ALVAREZ.

THE CITRUS AUTOMOTIVE DEPARTMENT WILL BE COMING TO OUR CAMPUS ON JANUARY 26TH TO HOST THEIR AUTO WORKSHOP THAT IS GEARED MORE TOWARDS FEMALE IDENTIFYING STUDENTS TO PROVIDE

[00:05:05]

IT WAS A HUGE HIT LAST YEAR, AND STUDENTS LEARNED THE BASICS OF MAINTAINING A VEHICLE, LIKE UNDERSTANDING HOW TO CHECK YOUR TIRES, THE PRESSURE, THE OIL, AND WHAT A VIN NUMBER WAS BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT WAS.

[CHUCKLING] [INAUDIBLE] WILL BE ON CAMPUS ON JANUARY 23RD TO HELP STUDENTS COMPLETE THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR BOTH THE SUMMER AND FALL SEMESTERS.

WE WILL ALSO BE HAVING CITRUS COLLEGE COMING ON JANUARY 31ST TO HOST THEIR APPLICATION WORKSHOP FOR SENIORS.

NOW THAT THE FAFSA APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN, OUR ECONOMICS AND GOVERNMENT TEACHERS ARE COORDINATING THE CREATION OF OUR SENIORS FEDERAL STUDENT AID IDS.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE 40 SENIORS AND WE ARE SHOOTING FOR AN 100% FAFSA COMPLETION RATE THIS YEAR.

MR. MEYERS ART STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON MORE AND LESS CHARTS.

STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO THINK OF THINGS THAT THEY WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS YEAR THAT ARE POSITIVE INFLUENCES, LIKE HEALTHIER FOODS AND EXERCISE, AND ALSO THINKING OF THINGS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE LESS OF THIS YEAR, THAT THEY ARE SEEING AS NEGATIVE THINGS IN THEIR LIFE, LIKE LESS PHONE TIME AND PROCRASTINATING.

OUR ADVANCED CULINARY CLASS IS BEGINNING TO PLAN OUR DESSERT MENU FOR THIS YEAR'S PROM.

I ALREADY KNOW THAT THEY'RE MAKING BEIGNET MINI BEIGNETS BECAUSE I BEG THEM TO.

THEY'RE SUPPORTING OUR THEME FOR PROM FOR THIS DANCE.

OUR 30 DAYS OF GIVING CAME TO AN END ON DECEMBER 21ST.

OUR RENAISSANCE CLASS TOOK THE BLANKETS WE MADE AND 12 BAGS OF DONATED CLOTHES TO THE HOUSE OF RUTH IN POMONA.

WE ALSO DONATED SEVERAL BLANKETS AND COMFORTERS TO SAN DIMAS FEED AND GRAIN FOR ANIMALS.

FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, A RENAISSANCE CLASS ADOPTED A BONITA UNIFIED STUDENT FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.

WE HELD BAKE SALES AT LUNCH, AND SO WE HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO PROVIDE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR OUR ADOPTED STUDENT.

THIS PAST FRIDAY, WE CELEBRATED OUR ANNUAL SOUP DAY.

THE CULINARY CLASSES PREPPED AND MADE SOUP FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL, WHICH IS OVER 100 STAFF AND STUDENTS.

WE HAD BAKED POTATO SOUP WITH CHEESE AND SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES.

IT WAS DELICIOUS.

I HAD THE JOY OF BEING ABLE TO GO IN AND HELP WITH THE COOK WITH THEM, AND LET'S JUST SAY I'M NOT HEAD CHEF MATERIAL.

RENAISSANCE IS BUSY MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR OUR PROM, WHICH IS MARCH 1ST AT THE SAN DIMAS CIVIC CENTER.

THIS YEAR IS BULLDOGS AND THE BAYOU, WHERE WE ARE DRAWING MOST OF OUR INSPIRATION FROM THE DISNEY MOVIE PRINCESS AND THE FROG.

WE LOST OUR SOCCER GAME AGAINST SIERRA HIGH SCHOOL EARLIER THIS WEEK, BUT WE CAME CLOSE TO COMING BACK FROM A 2 TO 1 DEFICIT.

ARTURO DURANTES SCORED AN AMAZING FOUR GOALS.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH OUR HORSESHOES TOURNAMENT.

I KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER.

PROMISE WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH THAT.

WE HAVE FIVE TEAMS REMAINING, INCLUDING MY TEAM WITH MR. MCCORMICK. WE ARE SCHEDULED TO PLAY THIS COMING MONDAY.

IF IT DOESN'T RAIN, OUR CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT WILL FOLLOW THAT.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU, RYLIE.

ANDREW WATSON.

GOOD EVENING, SUPERINTENDENT WIEN, BOARD PRESIDENT PALATTO, BOARD OF EDUCATION AND AUDIENCE.

HAPPY 2024 AND SECOND SEMESTER.

REFLECTING ON THIS PAST YEAR, IT HAS BEEN WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO STAND BEFORE YOU TO SHARE THE OUTSTANDING ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE DEFINED BONITA HIGH SCHOOL'S JOURNEY OVER THIS FIRST SEMESTER.

THROUGHOUT THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR, BONITA HIGH SCHOOL HAS WITNESSED REMARKABLE GROWTH BOTH ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY.

OUR STUDENTS HAVE DEMONSTRATED UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO THEIR STUDIES, SHOWCASING EXCEPTIONAL ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE THAT REFLECTS THE COMMITMENT TO OUR TALENTED EDUCATORS AND THE RESILIENCE OF OUR STUDENT BODY.

THE RECENT BREAK HAS SERVED AS A VALUABLE TIME FOR REST AND REJUVENATION.

WE'VE HAD THE CHANCE TO STEP BACK AND RECHARGE OUR BATTERIES AS WE RETURN TO OUR CLASSROOMS. WE ARE NOT JUST READY TO WORK HARD, WE ARE ALSO READY TO TACKLE THE SEMESTER WITH AN UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO OUR ACADEMICS AND AN EXCITED, EXCITED SPIRIT FOR OUR UPCOMING ACTIVITIES. LAST WEEK, OUR ENTIRE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, INCLUDING ALL CLASS COUNCIL AND ASB MEMBERS, WERE ABLE TO GO ON A DISNEYLAND FOR A FIELD TRIP.

DURING THIS FIELD TRIP, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ALL ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP FACTORS THAT MADE WALT DISNEY AND HIS COMPANY AS A WHOLE SUCCESSFUL.

ON TOP OF OUR LEADERSHIP DISNEYLAND FIELD TRIP, OUR APEX FRESHMAN HONORS PROGRAM WENT ON A FIELD TRIP TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TO MEET WITH RIDE DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE FIELD.

IT REALLY SOUNDED LIKE A GREAT TIME.

THESE FIELD TRIPS EXPOSE STUDENTS TO VARIOUS INDUSTRIES, WORKPLACES, AND PROFESSIONALS, ALLOWING THEM TO EXPLORE DIFFERENT CAREER OPTIONS FIRSTHAND.

THESE EVENTS PROVIDE A REALISTIC PREVIEW OF POTENTIAL CAREER CAREER PATHS, HELPING STUDENTS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE.

THIS WEEK IS CURRENTLY OUR WELLNESS WEEK AT BONITA.

EACH DAY THERE IS AN ACTIVITY DESIGNED TO DE-STRESS OUR STUDENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, TODAY THERE IS A HULA HOOP COMPETITION IN THE QUAD, WHICH I DEFINITELY DID NOT WIN.

OUR AWARD WINNING BEARCAT SINGERS ARE HOSTING A CABARET NIGHT ON JANUARY 23RD, AND THEY HAVE ALREADY SOLD MANY TICKETS.

[00:10:01]

WE HAVE HAD A GREAT FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE SEMESTER, AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL OF THE FUN THINGS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE REST OF THIS ACADEMIC YEAR.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT.

[13. FEATURED PRESENTATIONS]

RECOGNITION OF BONITA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WATER POLO TEAM, CIF AND SOCAL STATE CHAMPIONS.

[APPLAUSE] THE BONITA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WATER POLO TEAM FINISHED THE 2023 SEASON WITH AN OVERALL RECORD OF 24 AND 12, AND PLACED SECOND IN THE PALOMARES LEAGUE WITH LOSSES TO ONLY DIVISION ONE OPPONENT, ALTA LOMA.

THE TEAM ADVANCED TO THE CIF PLAYOFFS, WHERE THEY HAD THE NUMBER ONE SEED AND AFTER FOUR ROUNDS OF PLAY IN A GOAL DIFFERENTIAL OF 59 TO 27.

BONITA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WATER POLO ADVANCED TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AGAINST WOODBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE THEY WON DIVISION FOUR CIF CHAMPIONSHIP BY A SCORE OF 16 TO 5. THEY MOVED ON TO THE CIF STATE PLAYOFFS AS THE NUMBER ONE SEED, AND AFTER TWO ROUNDS AND A GOAL DIFFERENTIAL OF 33 TO 10, THE TEAM ADVANCED TO THE FINALS, WHERE THEY DEFEATED PACIFIC PALISADES 10 TO 5 AND WON THE SCHOOL'S FIRST REGIONAL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

THE GOAL DIFFERENTIAL IS CRAZY, AND SO TO SEE THE TEAM REALLY COME TOGETHER OVER THE COURSE OF THE SEASON WAS AWESOME AND CULMINATED THE ONLY WAY IT SHOULD HAVE WITH A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. WE JUST RECEIVED THE BANNER THAT WE WILL BE HANGING, IN OUR GYM IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, AND SO WE'LL BE CONTACTING PARENTS, AND AT THE MIDDLE OF, I BELIEVE, THE GLENDORA GAME NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT, WE WILL BE BRINGING ALL THE PARENTS AND THE STUDENTS, AT HALF COURT DURING THE HALF TIME, AND WE WILL SHOW EVERYBODY THE BANNER THAT WILL HANG IN OUR RAFTERS FOREVER.

SO CONGRATULATIONS, BOYS.

OUR GREAT PARTNER IN LA VERNE, LA VERNE ROTARY TEACHER MINI GRANTS.

FOR ME, THE UNIFIED IS GRATEFUL TO THE LA VERNE ROTARY CLUB FOR SUPPORTING OUR DISTRICT TEACHERS AND AWARDING TEACHER MINI GRANTS THAT TOTAL $3,200. THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE THREE ROTARIANS HERE.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE FOUR ROTARIANS HERE.

WELCOME. I HAVE, CRAIG RUMAN, DEBBIE DACEY AND STEVE JOHNSON.

I'M SORRY, STEVE.

ALL THESE YEARS, I APOLOGIZE AND STEVE JOHNSON AND SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE ROTARIANS IS DIANA LAGUNA.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD MEMBERS, AND PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

MY NAME IS DIANA LAGUNA, AND I'M THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE LA VERNE ROTARY CLUB.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ROTARY CLUB.

ROTARY CLUB INTERNATIONAL IS ONE OF THE LARGEST SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD.

THE MISSION FOR ROTARY IS TO PROVIDE SERVICE TO OTHERS, PROMOTE INTEGRITY AND ADVANCE WORLD UNDERSTANDING, GOODWILL, AND PEACE THROUGH THE FELLOWSHIPS OF BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS.

IT IS A NONPOLITICAL AND NON-RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION.

THERE ARE OVER 46,000 CLUBS WORLDWIDE, WITH A MEMBERSHIP OF 1.4 MILLION INDIVIDUALS, KNOWN AS ROTARY MEMBERS.

EVEN THOUGH THIS NUMBER SEEMS HIGH, THE LAST FEW YEARS AND SINCE THE PANDEMIC, WE HAVE LOST MANY MEMBERS.

THIS IS WHY I WOULD LIKE TO SEND AN INVITATION TO EVERYONE HERE TO APPLY TO BECOME A ROTARY CLUB MEMBER, AND ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK EVERYONE HERE TO HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT ROTARY CLUB.

BEING A PART OF A GROUP LIKE ROTARY BRINGS MANY BENEFITS TO YOU.

ROTARY WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS IT WILL BENEFIT YOU IN THE COMMUNITY AND OTHERS THAT NEED YOUR GUIDANCE OR PROFESSIONAL HELP.

THE ROTARY CLUB NOT ONLY BENEFITS OTHERS, IT BENEFITS YOURSELVES.

THE FUTURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION IS IN THE HANDS OF ITS COMMUNITY.

IN YOUR HANDS.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO BE PART OF THIS CLUB AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, PASSIONS AND INSIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME.

YOU WILL MAKE FRIENDSHIPS FOR LIFE.

THANK YOU. AFTER ALL THIS INTRODUCTION, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ON TO THE REASON OF THIS AWARD PRESENTATION.

EVERY YEAR, THE ROTARY CLUB HAS THIS SIGNIFICANT TEACHER MINI GRANT FUND.

WE OFFER UP TO $500 FOR SPECIAL CLASSROOM PROJECTS TO INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS FROM GRADES K TO 12, IN LA VERNE SCHOOLS.

I PERSONALLY HAD TO SAY THAT I ADMIRE SO MUCH THE TEACHERS OF OUR LA VERNE COMMUNITY.

THEY GIVE SO MUCH TIME TO THE KIDS AND THEY REALLY CARE FOR THEM TO LEARN.

I HAD A COUPLE OF NEPHEWS THAT CAME FROM ANOTHER REMOTE AREA TO LIVE IN LA VERNE, AND THEY TOLD ME HOW HAPPY THEY WERE WITH THE TEACHERS HERE BECAUSE THEY REALLY CARE FOR THEM TO LEARN. MY KIDS HAD THEIR EDUCATION HERE, AND I BELIEVE MY CHILDREN ENJOYED THEIR TEACHERS AND BENEFIT FROM THEIR WISDOM FROM THE ROTARY CLUB.

[00:20:03]

SO OUR FIRST AWARD GOES TO BONITA HIGH SCHOOL FOR FOR THE GRADE 9 TO 12, A MAGNIFIED LOOK AT SCIENCE FOR MICROSCOPE INVENTORY TO JOHN [INAUDIBLE], AND HE'S NOT HERE TODAY, BUT WE WILL GIVE HIM THE AWARD LATER.

OUR SECOND AWARD GOES TO GRACE MILLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR PRESCHOOL, A TWO PERSON TRICYCLE TO RENE GREGORY.

YOU CAN'T JUST LINE UP THERE, OKAY? YEAH, YEAH. THANK YOU.

[16. REPORTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT]

OKAY. WELL, I'LL MENTION A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WILL BE SPOKEN ABOUT LATER, BUT COMING UP ON THE 23RD OF THIS MONTH, WE HAVE A COMMUNITY ROUNDTABLE, AND ON FEBRUARY 8TH, WE HAVE THE STATE OF OUR DISTRICT.

SO ADD THOSE TO YOUR CALENDARS AND YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT THEM WHEN WE GET TO THE OTHER END OF THE TABLE.

TO ALL THE SENIORS THAT LEFT, WHETHER THEY'RE OUR BOARD REPS OR THE ATHLETES WHO WERE HERE, I'M SURE THEY WOULD HAVE CELEBRATED THIS.

THERE'S ONLY FOUR MONTHS LEFT IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER, SO IT'S COUNTING DOWN QUICKLY AND THANK THE WATER BONITA WATER POLO TEAM FOR THEIR CIF CHAMPIONSHIP AND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS HOPE FOR ONE DURING THE YEAR, WHETHER IT BE A FALL SPORT, WINTER SPORT OR SPRING SPORT, AND WHEN THEY KNOCK IT OUT EARLY, IT TAKES THE PRESSURE OFF EVERYONE ELSE. SO THIS COULD BE A MULTIPLE YEAR BECAUSE NO ONE'S REALLY GOING TO BE PUSHING IT, AND I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT THE SIZE OF THE CROWD TONIGHT IS AN INDICATION OF HOW WELL WE'RE DOING, BECAUSE NO ONE IS OUT COMPLAINING ABOUT US.

AS I LOOK OUT THERE, I ONLY SEE ACTUALLY ONE PERSON THAT ISN'T DIRECTLY AFFILIATED WITH THE DISTRICT PROFESSIONALLY.

SO I HOPE THAT MEANS THAT ALL OUR COMMUNITIES THINK WE'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

SO ON TO YOU, JIM.

YEAH. THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, WELCOME BACK EVERYONE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND THIS PAST MONDAY, MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR BIRTHDAY REMEMBRANCE, FIRST CELEBRATED IN 1986. I REMEMBER THAT, SPECIAL THANKS TO THE LA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HERE IN SAN DIMAS AND THEIR ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DISTRICT REGARDING TWO RECENT THREAT INCIDENTS INVOLVING BOTH, A SUBSTANTIAL, UNIFORM PRESENCE AS WELL AS DETAILED DETECTIVE WORK.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WORK.

YOU KNOW, BESIDES OUR FUTURE STATE BUDGET CHALLENGES AS WE HEAD INTO FISCAL YEAR 24-25, AND ON THE HEELS OF OVER A THOUSAND LAWS THAT THE GOVERNOR SIGNED IN 2023, I NOTED WITH INTEREST THAT STARTING JANUARY 1ST, ONE BILL BROUGHT BACK CURSIVE WRITING AS A REQUIREMENT IN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THE FIRST TIME SINCE, 2010, AND IT'S FOR GRADES ONE THROUGH SIX.

SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR FACILITIES TEAM FOR THEIR WORK OVER THE HOLIDAY BREAK.

FROM ASPHALT TO CULINARY CLASS, CLASS RENOVATIONS TO FLOOR, CEILING, HVAC PREP AND REPAIR WORK.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

LOOK FORWARD TO THE UPCOMING CAMPUS LEARNING WALKS IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY, AND MARCH.

REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR'S STATE OF THE DISTRICT ON FEBRUARY 8TH AT THE BONITA CENTER FOR THE ARTS.

YOU KNOW, WITH A LOOK PAST AT OUR PAST YEAR AND AN EYE TOWARDS THE FUTURE, LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR CONTINUING DIALOG ABOUT THE DISTRICT'S, FACILITY MASTER PLAN AND OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND HOW THEY MAY INTERSECT WITH, POSSIBILITIES.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT IN A MONTH OR SO.

LOOKING FORWARD TO, SCHEDULING ANOTHER FENTANYL AWARENESS AND EDUCATION SESSION FOR OUR PARENTS AND COMMUNITY.

WE KNOW IT SAVES LIVES, AND LASTLY, LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR UPCOMING, AS GLENN MENTIONED, DISTRICT ROUNDTABLE, WHICH IS A DIALOG THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.

IT'S A COMMITMENT WE MADE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND IT'S GOING TO BE OVER AT LONE HILL ON JANUARY 23RD, AT 6 P.M..

SEE YOU THERE. THANKS.

FIRST, I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE LA VERNE ROTARY AND REALLY, ALL OF OUR PARTNERS WHO REALLY HELP SUPPORT OUR DISTRICT.

THE LA VERNE ROTARY, SAN DIMAS ROTARY AND THE FOUNDATION, THEY GIVE MANY GRANTS, AND THOSE MINI GRANTS ALLOW OUR TEACHERS TO HAVE KIND OF MORE TARGETED AND MORE EXCITING LESSONS.

SO THESE GRANTS ARE NOT JUST DONATIONS OF MONEY.

THEY DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR KIDS AND THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE EDUCATION OUR KIDS GET, AND I THINK THAT'S A VERY SPECIAL THING, AND I PROBABLY SAID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES, I WAS I KNEW WHEN I MOVED TO THIS AREA THAT BONITA UNIFIED HAD GREAT TEST SCORES AND WAS A GOOD DISTRICT.

[00:30:06]

WE MAKE THEM A PRIORITY.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING FROM READING TO THEM WHEN THEY'RE LITTLE TO MAKING SURE THAT WE BUILT THEM UP, TO MAKING SURE THEY HAD A GOOD RHYTHM AND DOING HOMEWORK TO MAKING SURE THEY GOT SOCIALIZED, AND WE DID OUR PART, AND OUR KIDS, I THINK, ARE NATURALLY SMART AND NICE, AND THEY'RE VERY WELL ROUNDED KIDS, AND BUT IT'S A FORMULA IN A SENSE.

SO THE KIDS ARE HAVE SOME TALENT THAT HELPS YOU HAVE A GOOD HOME LIFE THAT HELPS, AND THAT'S A MULTIPLYING FACTOR, BUT A FACTOR THAT I THINK I UNDERESTIMATED WHEN I MOVED HERE WAS THE IMPACT OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEST SCORES, AT LEAST FOR THE LAST 5 OR 6 YEARS, THE TEST SCORES AT BONITA HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN SIMILAR COMMUNITIES.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT GLENDORA AND CLAREMONT, OUR POPULATIONS ARE VERY SIMILAR.

OUR TEST SCORES SHOULD BE VERY SIMILAR, AND IF BONITA USUALLY WELL, ACTUALLY, SINCE I'VE LOOKED, ALWAYS HAS HIGHER TEST SCORES, THAT IS INDICATIVE OF SOMETHING RIGHT IN THE PROCESS HERE.

IT'S A BONITA ADVANTAGE.

THINGS ARE GETTING DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT POSITIVELY IMPACTS KIDS, AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK ALL THE TEACHERS, THE STAFF, THE LEADERS, EVERYONE WHO REALLY PUTS IN EFFORT TO HAVE SUCH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OUR KIDS AND ON MY KIDS, LIKE MY CHILDREN, ARE DOING AMAZINGLY WELL, AND I AM JUST VERY PRIVILEGED THAT MY KIDS ARE GETTING A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION HERE.

ANOTHER VARIABLE, AND I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND OF MINE, SO I PLAYED WATER POLO WITH, HE USED TO BE JIMMY CARLSON.

NOW HE'S JIM CARLSON, AND HE MET A GIRL AT MOUNT SAC WHO BECAME HIS WIFE, AND SHE PLAYED WATER POLO, AND THEN THEY HAD CHILDREN WHO PLAYED WATER POLO AND WON.

CIF HERE I THINK, HIS DAUGHTER WON CIF, TORI CARLSON WON CIF IN 2022.

HIS SON JACOB OR JAKE, BUT I THINK JAKE WON CIF JUST RIGHT NOW, AND HE EVEN HAD A FRESHMAN I THINK HIS NAME WAS, JEFFREY HEATON FOR A FRESHMAN TO CONTRIBUTE TO A CIF WINNING VARSITY TEAM.

THAT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.

SO I CALLED HIM UP.

I CALLED HIM, ACTUALLY. I TALKED TO HIS WIFE.

I'M LIKE, SO HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I MEAN, THIS IS AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT.

A LOT OF KIDS DON'T GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS, AND YOU GUYS, YOUR TEAM BEAT TEAMS THAT HAD THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING AN OCEAN WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE, YOU KNOW? SO I MEAN, WHEN YOU HAVE A IF YOU GO TO CATALINA, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WATER POLO POLES FLOATING IN THE OCEAN.

YOU COULD PLAY A PICK UP GAME OF WATER POLO LIKE YOU PLAY A PICK UP GAME OF BASKETBALL HERE.

SO IT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE, AND I HEARD ABOUT HOW THEY NOT ONLY INVESTED IN THEIR ACADEMICS, BUT THEY INVESTED IN A LOT OF CLUB SPORTS.

SO YOU HAVE THESE PARENTS WHO ARE INVESTING.

I THINK THE KIDS ARE SWIMMING AT A SUPER YOUNG AGE.

I THINK ONE OF THEM STARTED PLAYING CLUB WATER POLO WHEN SHE WAS 11, AND MY POINT REALLY IS WHEN YOU SEE AMAZING RESULTS IN KIDS AND WE'RE SEEING AMAZING RESULTS, YOU HAVE ALL AREAS REALLY FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS.

YOU HAVE AMAZING KIDS WHO ARE PUTTING FORTH THE EFFORT AND DOING THE WORK NECESSARY TO HAVE HIGH ACHIEVEMENT.

YOU HAVE PARENTS WHO ARE INVESTING IN THEIR KIDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE KIDS ARE GETTING EVERY RESOURCE POSSIBLE, AND THEN YOU HAVE, I THINK, A SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT ALSO MULTIPLIES THAT AND GIVES THEM HIGH QUALITY COACHING, GIVES THEM ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES SO THEY CAN SUCCEED.

SO FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN HELPING OUR KIDS, I JUST REALLY WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND YEAH, THAT'S ALL I GOT.

GOOD EVENING.

I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TONIGHT.

IT WAS SO INTERESTING LISTENING TO THE STUDENTS TALK ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AT THEIR SCHOOL SITES, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THEY HAD THAT, THAT REST, YOU KNOW, THEY COME BACK AND THEY GEAR UP SO FAST AND, AND DIVE INTO THINGS AND, AND SO DOES THE STAFF.

IN FEBRUARY, THIS RIGHT NOW WE JUST ADOPTED A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY AS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION MONTH, AND THEN YOU HEARD THE STUDENTS TALKING ABOUT THE CAREER FAIRS THAT THEIR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE PUTTING ON, AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE HAVING WORKSHOPS FOR THE FAFSA, WHICH HAD SOME MAJOR CHANGES THIS YEAR, AND PEOPLE, IT'S, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY, IN EDUCATION HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE IMPACT ON EVERYONE AND TRYING TO GET THROUGH THESE NEW FORMS, AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET ALL OUR STUDENTS DOING WELL ON THE FAFSA AND GETTING THEIR FINANCIAL AID? THAT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR THEM, YOU KNOW, TO GO ON.

SO JUST TO HEAR THAT TONIGHT IS REALLY NICE, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT GREAT COUNSELORS AND GREAT STAFF THAT ARE REALLY WORKING TO GIVE BONITA STUDENTS EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED TO MOVE FORWARD ONCE THEY GRADUATE.

[00:35:02]

SECONDLY, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS APPROACHED BY A WOMAN, HER NAME IS GLORIA LEE, AND SHE WRITES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL, CENTER FOR REINVENTING PUBLIC EDUCATION AND IT'S AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, AND THEY LOOK AT THE SUCCESS OF, SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE WORLD, AND THEY WERE COMPARING BONITA SUCCESS WITH A SCHOOL DISTRICT [INAUDIBLE] IN BRAZIL THAT HAS ALMOST NEAR UNIVERSAL LITERACY, AND IT WAS SUCH AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION TO HAVE WITH HER, BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME WHAT THEY WERE DOING IN BRAZIL, AND I SHARED WHAT WE WERE DOING IN BONITA, AND, TO SEE THE SIMILARITIES WAS STRIKING, AND THEY RECENTLY PUBLISHED THAT ARTICLE, AND WE HAD A FEW LITTLE COMMENTS THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE ABOUT THE SUCCESS THAT WE'VE HAD HERE AND THE COMMONALITIES, AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE BEING RECOGNIZED NOT JUST HERE IN CALIFORNIA, BUT REALLY INTERNATIONALLY FOR SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE IN LITERACY IS JUST A COMPLIMENT TO THIS DISTRICT AND THE HARD WORK OF ALL THE TEACHERS, AND THEN JUST AS A REMINDER, IT'S WINTER.

THIS IS ONE OF THE SEASONS.

I JUST LOVE TO READ, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW, IT'S FIREPLACES AND A WARM COUCH AND A BLANKET AND A GOOD BOOK, BUT A REMINDER TO OUR PARENTS THAT THE RESEARCH VERY STRONGLY PROMOTES THAT IF YOU READ WITH YOUR CHILDREN OR YOUR CHILDREN, READ INDEPENDENTLY NONFICTION AND FICTION 20 MINUTES A DAY OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, STARTING WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG AND UP THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST STOP ONCE THEY LEARN HOW TO READ THAT, THAT IT GIVES THEM A MUCH GREATER CHANCE TO SCORE IN THE 90TH PERCENTILE OR HIGHER ON STANDARDIZED TESTS.

SO, I HOPE ALL OF YOU ENJOY A GOOD BOOK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

YOU GUYS GET TO WARM UP.

I USUALLY FREEZE ON THE FIELDS WITH MY KIDS, AND ONE INTERESTING THING THAT I WOULD TALK ABOUT CIF AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THINGS.

MY KIDS HAVE BEEN PLAYING FLAG FOOTBALL FOR THE LAST SO MANY YEARS, AND THIS IS HIS LAST SEASON BECAUSE HE'S ABOUT TO AGE OUT AND IT'S USUALLY ALL BOYS, BUT EVER SINCE BONITA INTRODUCED HEY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CIF SPORT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN SO MANY GIRLS ON THE FLAG FOOTBALL.

I KNOW THEY PLAY EVERY WEEKEND AT DAMIEN HIGH SCHOOL, AND MY SON WENT UP AGAINST A TEAM WITH EIGHT GIRLS AND FOUR BOYS SO YOU COULD SEE THE GIRLS, AND I WAS TALKING TO SOME OF THE PARENTS. YEAH, THEY HEARD ABOUT BONITA.

THEY WANT TO BE ON LIKE THAT FIRST OR SECOND TEAM AND START WORKING.

SO, YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS DOWN THE LINE, A LOT OF KIDS ARE INTERESTED NOW.

I COULD SEE HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY AWESOME CIF CHAMPIONSHIP COMING OUR WAY.

SEE ONE OF OUR FIRST FLAGS FOR A NEW GIRLS SPORT.

I JUST HOPE WE HAVE THE ABILITY BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S A FALL SPORT AND WE GOT SO MANY OTHER FOOTBALL THINGS GOING ON, WE CAN MAKE IT EQUITABLE FOR THEM.

I'M NOT GOING TO BELABOR THIS TOO MUCH.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT WINTER BREAK, AND I KNOW WE'RE ALL STAFF IS ALREADY IN FULL SWING JUST THAT SECOND WEEK BACK, AND SUMMER SEEMS LIKE SO FAR AWAY.

I KNOW WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AS I AM, SO, STAY SAFE.

AWESOME. THANK YOU.

I JUST SIMPLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, TWO EVENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED.

TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME INTERACT WITH OUR STAFF 1ST JANUARY 23RD SUPERINTENDENTS ROUNDTABLE, 6:00 LONE HILL MIDDLE.

IT'S A GREAT CHANCE TO COME, MEET WITH DISTRICT STAFF, INTERACT, ASK QUESTIONS.

WE'LL ALSO HAVE TWO BOARD MEMBERS THERE, TO MEET.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DISTRICT AND TO INTERACT WITH STAFF MEMBERS, AND THE SECOND, THE PUBLIC IS INVITED FEBRUARY 8TH TO THE STATE OF THE DISTRICT. IT'S 10:15 IN THE MORNING AT OUR RBCA.

WE'LL DO A MORE DETAILED DIVE INTO THE SUCCESS OF THE DISTRICT, TALK ABOUT THE PROGRAMS. YOU'LL HEAR BOTH HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS SING.

IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE AND THEN HOPEFULLY GO OUT AND BE AMBASSADORS OF THE DISTRICT IN OUR COMMUNITY.
