we use it to make data driven decisions so this is very important work that we're heading into for the next two months almost. And then finally we continue to work to engage our community with Prop O. Our goal is really to make sure all of our community is very well informed as they head into April 7th to make their decision. We've had coffee conversations. We have one March 24th at the center of Clayton. We already had one. This will be our second one where any community member can come in and learn or ask questions. And then we've had Glenridge tours. We've already had one. We're having and we had one earlier today. I could not attend it but I know some board members went so we appreciate that. And I think that was the largest turnout we've had so far. We had like almost 12 community members coming and learning about the needs firsthand so that's good. And then school events are ongoing. We have a lot of parent teacher conferences this week so we're trying to be as visible as possible. Having tables set up information out there for anyone who has questions just to stop by and be well informed so that is our goal. So we will continue to do work on that.

And now I'm going to transition right away to recognizing our own and I'm going to make it super official and I'm going to go to the mic and stand there because I've written out some stuff that I actually want to read tonight so I don't miss a step. So I'm going to walk over there. So hold tight. I'm assuming this is working so here we go. Okay. Good evening. Tonight we have a chance to recognize and thank our board of education for the time and dedication you give to our schools and community as part of the Missouri School Boards Association month. Serving on the board is a volunteer role and we know that takes a lot of your time thought and leadership. We're incredibly grateful for the ways you support our students staff and family. As you can see each of the buildings and the athletic department has like put a collection of items for you as just a small token of appreciation. So that's on behalf of all of us for you.

And then also in your baskets there are cards that our students wrote and as tradition I always like to pick out a few and read them to you. So I have three that I'm going to read out to you. Adorable. Okay the first one it says Dear Clayton School Board member thank you for supporting students. You do a pretty good job. Keep keep at it. The next one. Thank you for supporting our schools helping with funds and supporting our education. I hope that you enjoy this card and you like all of my drawings. So you have illustrations and it says I don't know what you really do but without you my education would not be the same. You underlined push and make it better. And in parentheses it says do you get snacks. You do you do you do they do they do. And then the student says I have an awesome school district and school but you make it underlined even better. And so thank you for everything. And that happens every single day. I love school. Isn't that Frank. I know I love it. Just adorable. Okay. And the last one it says Dear School Board thank you for using up your personal time to keep this school alive.
