So, I just wanted to say I'm grateful for for Dr. Patel's leadership and her quick response um by involving the Clayton Police Department, her communication about it. And I also am grateful to the police for their quick action and assistance and for the many community members who have reached out to share their heartbreak over this, their solidarity with us and to offer support. The diversity of our community to me is what makes Clayton so special and so beautiful. and the way we support one another is also what makes Clayton so special and so beautiful. So I do want everyone um to know that and also know that im immediately following um the revelation of this incident, the district leadership did immediately begin working on plans to offer both education and support to our students and families, which you'll hear more about from Dr. Patel. Um, changing gears a little bit, I also wanted to acknowledge um that May, this is our first May meeting, has brought many annual celebrations and recognitions that I wanted to thank our communications team for recognizing. One of which is JewishAmerican Heritage Month. Um, we also have um May is also Asian-American Pacific Islander uh month and I again thank the communications team for recognizing that. I think it's even more meaningful now as we as we talk about the hate in our community to recognize these minority groups um this month. But also May is also mental health awareness month which also ties into that.
