Here to accept the resolution is school nurse Ellie Potter, and program manager for student support services Sandra Butorac. - Superintendent Melissa Bassanelli, members of the board, on behalf of the nurses at the San Juan Unified School District, it is my sincere honor to accept this certificate of recognition. As school nurses, we work daily with teachers, staff members, students and their families to ensure and foster healthy student population. In many cases, we are the frontline health workers for our students, connecting families with public resources, and helping children obtain the services they need. We provide routine vision and hearing exams, as well as specialized care for students. Some of whom without our support would not be able to safely enjoy school experience that we, as a district, strive to provide. Again, I want to thank all of you for your recognition and support of our healthcare staff. Our mission, like yours, is to promote a healthy and inclusive learning environment for our students. It is our pleasure to serve the district in meeting this goal. And I would like to present some of the nurses that were able to come tonight to the recognition. Thank you. - [Pres. Creason] Thank you so much. Any comments or questions from the board? Ms. Villescaz. - Thank you for all of the work that you all do every day on our campus to protect all of our students, and in particular the most fragile and vulnerable of our students to ensure that they can get an education and come and join us and be well-rounded children and cared for. I think this is the best attended recognitions we might have... There should be four times the number of nurses, but I think we have most of our nurses here. So, I just wanted to say thank you all for joining us this evening, and thank you for the work that you do. It's a very niche role that you play, but it's very, very important. So, thanks for all the work that you do and continue to do. Particularly coming, I mean, coming off of a pandemic, I know we kind of have all waited for that moment where it gets easier, but I think the reality, in particular in the healthcare sphere, is that you're just dealing with more, right? Because there's so much that kind of went ignored and wasn't addressed that's now servicing. So, thank you very much. - [Ellie] Thank you again. - Thank you. Any other questions, comments from the board? I just wanted to, it's okay. It's okay, I'll be brief. No, just a note of for appreciation. I just wanna know. I have the opportunity to talk to many of your team members over the last year and a half to get a much better understanding of the work you do, which is intense, and it's a lot, and it's beyond this surface level. You do a whole lot and you are appreciated. You are our healthcare workforce. And the crisis in the healthcare workforce, we just don't have enough humans to do the job. SJUSD is not immune to that. And so, I recognize a 100% how much more you're doing every day to serve our students and it's a hard job. I couldn't do it. So, I'm looking at all of you back there and you, seriously, with all appreciation, thank you for all you do. One more. - [Ellie] Thank you again for your continuous support of our healthcare services. - Thank you. Is there a motion to adopt resolution number A424, proclaiming the week of May 6th through 12th as National Nurses Week and May 10th as National School Nurse Day. - [Ms. Costa] So moved. - Moved by Ms. Costa. Is there a second? - [Ms. Kravchuk] Second. - Second by Ms. Kravchuk. All those in favors say, "Aye." - [All] Aye. - Aye. That was unanimous. We are now at item E-2, high school student council reports. Tonight, we will hear from student representatives from Mira Loma High School and Casa Roble Fundamental High School. Welcome and let's begin with Emma Pham Tran and Claire Contreras from Mira Loma. - Good evening, President Creason, members of the board, Superintendent Bassanelli, and Ms. Cunningham. I am Emma Pham Tran, Mira Loma's associate student body president. - And I am Claire Contreras, Mira Loma's associate student body vice president. - We are excited to discuss some of our recent achievements, as well as some of our upcoming plans with you all today. To start off, last time we are here, we are in the midst of prepping for Sports-A-Rama, our annual spring class competition. I'm proud to inform you all that we had around 300 participants and over a 1,000 attendees for that event on the night of. I would like to specially thank our wonderful activities director, principal, class advisor, and other support faculty who helped us really put on the event. It couldn't have been possible without them. And we saw the campus come to life with this event, especially after the pandemic. So, we really appreciate what our staff, our faculty, and what our students have been able to do. - Along with our gen ed Sports-A-Rama, this year, we were able to host our first ever ILS class Sports-A-Rama. We had many student volunteers join together to help create a more inclusive Sports-A-Rama for our ILS class, including games that were traditional from our Sports-A-Rama, modified in ways that we can include our ILS class. As president of our Best Buddies chapter, I'm proud to announce that Mira Loma is the first Best Buddies chapter in the San Juan Unified School District. And Best Buddies is a global organization that promotes social inclusivity for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Because we have the highest number of participants, we'll be the grand marshall this weekend at the Best Buddies Walk. And we are super excited to announce that, with all of these new events, we'll be able to continue having more socially inclusive events at our campus. - And on the topic of inclusivity, we recently hosted International Night, which is our version of our open house. So, with that, we had over 40 student organizations on our campus come together to put on an event, so that our community could partake and kind of get a slice of what Mira Loma was all about. And so, what those events included was a parade of nations where our students represented their home countries and countries they've learned, of cultures they've learned about here at school by wearing traditional dress such folklorico skirts, kimonos, and henceforth. And so, students represented countries in our demonstration through the Parade of Nations. We also had our an academic demonstration through our group-performed project. So, our junior and senior students enrolled in IB Biology, IB Chemistry, and IB Physics. We're grouped together in order to complete a research project on the topic of water this year, and they all worked together to present that thereat for our community at International Night. We also had a series of cultural performances throughout the night, some from many of our beloved organizations such as Tyco, Latinos Unidos, and more. They all did wonderful job, and we really appreciate the work they've done on our campus. And furthermore, this is a big fundraising event for our campus as well. Our students were really able to kind of look towards the next year, and they're able to really plan what they would like to do next and able to raise the funds for that, so they can continue their wonderful projects, on campus and off campus. - Another big event on our campus was World's Fair. This is an MYP sophomore event where they got in groups of five to seven students. And with over 25 different booths, we had topics ranging from fashion, astronomy, to surgery and street food. These educational skits and interactive presentations were showcased for our entire school to see. We'd also like to recognize some of our academic teams, and I would like to first recognize Science Olympiad, which was recently held on our campus. One of our newly younger teams, our sophomore junior team placed seventh, and we are really excited to see how our team progresses as they do have a lot of time still at school. Also, our Senior Science bowl team has also done extremely well this season. They actually will be moving on to nationals after placing very high recently. And further on that positive note, our National Forestry Challenge team, which competes in applying and presenting their knowledge on a range of environmental subjects, has placed 2nd and 15th in the state's competition just this past weekend. - Other academic teams that we are extremely proud of are our speech and debate teams, which recently qualified to state's two different national tournaments, and they just sent their largest ever delegation to the Tournament of Champions. Additionally, our Future Business Leaders of America, FBLA, has a state conference, Friday, and is sending 56 students to this event. Next, we have our IB, our two students, which are presenting their bodies of works, which they've worked on for two years at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center this week through Saturday. And Saturday, there'll be a closing reception, which will include music students showcasing their performance alongside the artists of these bodies of work. - We are also now in that time of year where our students are preparing to end the year with their IB testing sessions. Our students are currently preparing with all their teachers as well as wrapping up any last protocols. We are making sure that our students who are both new to these programs as well as who've done it with some modifications due to their pandemic understand the procedures, and so that everyone has an equal understanding of what is to come, and so that our students feel prepared when testing day does arrive. - And alongside recognizing our academic teams, we also wanna recognize our spring athletic teams. We have a track meet scheduled tomorrow and this weekend hosted at Mira Loma. And our track team has over 70 athletes competing. Our boy;s volleyball team just made playoffs, which is really awesome following their win at senior night last night. We have one swimmer who made sections, and so we'll be cheering them on as they get there. Finally, our tennis team is first in league, and we'll also be joining our other teams in playoffs. - Now, to wrap up just a little more, this is a time for our students to look forward to the end of year events, especially our juniors and seniors. Recently, we had over 250 attendees at our junior ball, and we are, our seniors are looking forward to having their junior, I mean, their senior event dance this May on May 20th. And looking even a little bit further to that, some of our clubs are planning, our clubs will be participating in what we call Day of the Matador, which we will be bringing back. It'll be a day so that our students, a part of these clubs, can prepare for the next year. They can get their clubs registered and make sure that all their paperwork is set for the next year, as well as recruit new students, so that the transition is very clean and smooth coming into this next academic year. Thank you so much for your time today. - Mira Loma doing all the things. Thank you for that wonderful report. Questions, comments from the board? Ms. Kravchuk? - [Ms. Kravchuk] What don't you guys do? Thank you so much for the report. It was amazing. I was so impressed. And I kind of feel like you're making up for all the lost time, you know, that you weren't doing anything during COVID, and doing all the things. It's amazing. Congratulations to all of the students, to the athletes, to the academics, to the students who participated in all the events and for everyone who put that on. And then I was so pleased to learn about Best Buddies. That's so amazing. I'm so glad you're doing that. Good luck. I hope that grows, and you get more involvement from your peers. Just congratulations on everything you guys are doing. - [Emma] Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. - [Pres. Creason] Ms. Villescaz. - Thank you both for the very thorough and comprehensive report. I had a lot of reflections that I wrote down, but I'm gonna go ahead and focus my comment on what you opened with, which was the new addition and improvement of Sports-A-Rama, a longstanding tradition at Mira Loma. Actually, I got a lot of feedback while it was happening. I follow a lot of the Instagram accounts, but also know a lot of the staff still there and the significant improvement to Sports-A-Rama. But with the ILS component, I know it just brought a new life to an already very, very lively event. And honestly, since then, I've spent a lot of time reflecting about how, in the 16 years since I've been there, no one tried to make that happen. People might have tried, but no one, I think, pulled it off quite as well as you all did. So, congratulations on both that, and all of your other wonderful accomplishments and activities. - [Emma] Thank you. - [Claire] Thank you. - You have the comments, questions from the board. Okay, so I'm gonna try to not be redundant, but I have the same thoughts as my colleagues. Just such wonderful notes about Sports-A-Rama and just being inclusive of all and being in community with your full community is huge. Right? So, thank you so much for your leadership in making that happen, in making it a wonderful day. Same with Best Buddies. What a wonderful program. I'm just so appreciative of you sharing about your celebration of culture. Like there's a lot of that and we need to celebrate each other, right? And celebrate each other's culture. So, that's just lovely. And you had me at astronomy and street food. Tacos in space. Like, that's what.... So, next time, I'm gonna have to show up for that. So, thank you so much for everything that you do. I'm not sure. We're probably not gonna see you again before the summer, right? - [Emma] No, unfortunately, this is our last presentation of the year. - Oh, we appreciate you, and it's been a pleasure to get to know you, and you've done a wonderful job all year. So, one more wonderful applause. And next, we will hear from Dylan Saucedo from Casa. - Good evening, President Creason, members of the board, Superintendent Bassanelli, and Ms. Cunningham. I'm Dylan Saucedo, student body president and varsity football captain at Casa Roble High School. I appreciate the opportunity to represent Casa Roble in this meeting as I have some great things to share tonight. In late February, along with our academic update, I told you about winter sports, the first piece to our battle of the classes in our newly established vision statement. Since then, there's been a ton of progress, and I'm glad to be able to share with you all tonight. First and foremost, Casa Roble's student government has received huge interest for enrollments in the class next fall. This year, in total, we will have held 20 events, six dances, and six rallies. I'm sorry, three dances and six rallies. In preparation for the future, my ASB team joined by our JROTC and our counselors will be taking a trip to middle schools to spread information to the eighth graders. To give them a real feel, on April 14th, we held ninth grade registration what a clubs day look in order to show them what we have to offer. Aside from these events, our community intervention specialists, Ms. Tammy Latino leads a group called the Link Crew, which helps welcome the incoming ninth grade students to Ram Country with orientation and a tour of campus led by leaders of our student body. This week holds our second annual Battle of the Classes flag football event. This Friday night from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., 20 students from each class will compete in a seven verus seven flag football tournament to determine who will hold the Casa Cup, leading up to our senior sendoff rally, which will be held in our big gym on Friday, May 26th. In actual varsity sports, Casa's Track team has had some crazy success this year. As a team, the boys are undefeated in the GEL and are on slate to win the whole thing this Saturday at Mira Loma, as the girls will make their case as well. Senior Teo Camacho has earned invites to some highly prestigious meets, such as the Arcadia and the Stanford Invitational. Joined by senior, Josie Povey, he will also be competing at the CIF section meet on May 20th. Casa's baseball, and softball have had a tough start of this season with weather permitting play for most of March. Since the sun has picked back up, baseball is three and nine, and softball is five and four. Boy's volleyball is at a record of six and nine, finishing their season with senior night tomorrow night versus Rio Linda. In upcoming events, student government will be holding prom for the junior and senior class on May 13th from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. at The Grand in downtown Sacramento, followed by our senior sendoff week, which also includes senior awards signing day for 10 of our athletes, and Senior Sunset from May 22nd to the May 26th. The class of 2023 will then finish off their time in Ram Country with graduation on June 2nd. In academics, our Rams have been on top of it. To start, over 40% of our student body were named to the honor roll for term three, which is progress from term two. Casa will also have 125 AP test takers in the coming weeks. And over a 100 students took part in the dual enrollment program with American River College this year. In regards to the wonderful programs that Casa offers, Auto, FFA, SCORE, AVID, and journalism are all in great shape. Last Saturday, Casa Auto held their ninth annual car show with over 200 cars, 15 local vendors, and a few field trucks. The event lasted from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., creating a great community event with an estimated attendance of around 500. Casa SCORE program has 30 seniors taking the SCORE exam, giving them the opportunity to be placed in medical facilities all over Sacramento area directly out of high school. In preparation for the college route out of Casa, the AVID program took 164 students to Chico State's campus last Thursday and will also be taking 106 students on a trip to visit colleges on the California coast the beginning of May. Ms. Creason's favorite program at Casa, FFA, has been doing great in their preparation for next year, including farm cleanup day and officer elections. This Saturday, they'll be holding the event of the year, Goats and Floats. Students and families will be able to drink some rootbeer floats while hanging out with our baby goats to help raise money for renovation of the farm. Last, but certainly not least, Casa's Ram team plays fifth in the Pacemaker 100, which is a competition that ranks the 100 best yearbook programs in the nation from the last 100 years. We are absolutely thrilled for each of our programs and their accomplishments. Thank you all again for the opportunities to represent Casa Roble tonight as we look forward to what's to come, not only for Casa Roble, but for the San Juan School District. Take good care of yourself. Be kind to each other. And go, Rams. - It's always interesting to hear from you. Questions, comments from... Mr. Hernandez? - [Mr. Hernandez] Thank you.

My son, Caden, actually was just mentioning recently, "Are we due for a farm visit at Casa?" I'm like, "I think we are. I'll make a phone call." That's really exciting. I took a couple more notes too. I really appreciate the middle school in, you know, just reaching out to them. I mean, entering into high school could be so incredibly scary. So, 100% getting ahead of that, you know, before the summer and just opening your arms to them, I'm sure it goes a really long way. So, it's not quite as scary on your first day. - [Dylan] Yes. - Right. That's a wonderful program.
