I, I don't like him.
OK?
His hair ask although she,
I know that a lot of people already know um and not a man for a
dinner uh academic.
Absolutely ask for the schools to be left in better hands with
our.
So um I, although my thought is um you know,
I have these mixed emotions.
I'm excited to move on to the next stage of my life.
But I'm very sad.
Um questions, prayer and uh it was very bitter sweet for me.
But um but I would without a doubt,
100% feel that the school hands.
So um I would like to again express my gratitude and thank you
again.
Oh, create an exciting for our Children,
for our staff for I really um to Yeah, yeah, I wanna thank you.
OK, know uh she's gonna take it from there again.
Thank you so much.
Welcome. Thank you for welcoming me to your.
I wanted to, to start by making uh yeah,
all their work throughout the year at the 55. I know,
but I'm so happy for the moment I will receive my bye to you
next week. So thank you.
So much share the process that you want.
Yeah,
like we have a very extensive process which advisor that means
group of about 12 principles that mean and any candidate that
they do an interview with them.
And then from there we go on the leadership with a number of
them.
So basically we have principles in questions about the trial
about when you buy.
I love it,
but I've been out of the school building for two years.
So as much as I may know what it is, the building, you know,
from two years ago, I don't know what it means right here today.
So Doctor Wilson and I have developed a system where we meet
with principal and Mr Mr of the and what they do is they help
select the best I have to say is the absolute best for that.
And she presented herself in the way that and focus on the
students during the leadership work and with the wealth of
experience that she brings to Island.
So it's my great honor and privilege to present to you to be
able to have the privilege.
Think they see the light of decide,
think 70 sure that to get to work,
say that the school community,
New York City Department of Education of Staten Island School.
I graduated from playing for and phenomenal to you to come back.
You OK, you have here like choose to fill and I feel an immense
responsibility and support the PS five of the families.
Um This was indeed when I first had a walk in the building,
I could sense the culture.
Yeah,
celebration of what in and outside the classroom um everywhere
in the world.
Um I see things a tremendous job.
Thank you and welcome you.
I questions answered as possible.
And the school that I'm about to.
Um so I really,
those that personally and professionally will say these three
things in me again.
So what does this mean?
It's one thing for me to say it, but we just experienced COVID.
So heart breaks and in our nation.
Yeah.
35 85 students coming here today, I've been a psycho me.
I think I, you want it um because it's not a barrier,
it's something that I just have to also right and needs me and
see that kind of variety.
I saw the students where they are and they need,
we need to get all these, we call it.
We did a successfully and ok, thank you.
The gaps that are normally there when and play basketball or
tennis outside on the courts.
So a goal setting with a growth mindset and I,
I absolutely love it.
So one thing that parents view is that but you also have to sell,
this is your down without your support.
I need to know what it is. That's some.
See.
No.
Ok.
That I need to know um parents here in.
Yes. Thank you. I appreciate that.
So uh know just like me, what exactly you're about,
you are unsure of human eye.
You, she asked, OK, principle interactive.
But the school on my own um and in the summer down here,
the rain they have done. No.
And you please,
every week and time coaching team for eight years know get and
in that foundation all necessary to what I stand for.
And I think I said there's a lot of what I share to be one
person mean that our educators are going to represent ourselves
as that's right. Celery as happened,
parents and families are as well that the entire staff.
So it's opportunities for everyone to give you insight for what
it is and sorry, I in but ok at large if possible personally,
ok.
Disappearance and things are on.
Yeah.
And so like what were you doing?
You have brought into situations and no.
Yeah.
Audition for their first play council.
We want to make sure that they can have that whether that's
going to be we or I'm sorry, what do I ask?
40,000?
Nothing.
I'll get that to you but question.
Exactly right.
Yeah, that's why I'm here as well and I need to know what is,
what is important,
what those needs are in order to establish that that.
So yeah,
who years I was so this is terrifying what's happening so that
these are my network can join it who just tried out for the
first time.
And when I connect with them, what they share with me is how,
what,
what they're able to do now at home that they were just what
you're excited about learning is that, yeah, dance.
So and now done and she cannot wait.
And so I think that our this foundational level,
confidence in his leadership,
I to help a class might be definitely needs to happen the South
East um things to be you of the foundation.
So is what I see what I can offer to and I see him transforming
the lives of Yeah, but I see it in the,
so when I was able to and really playing the piano red,
it still not sure where they go.
Yeah, I want to make sure that they're there there,
the change that I saw myself a year ago and saying I want so um
that's why, why I'm gonna ask you as well, relationship,
anxious to comment, nervous.
So I want anywhere and the address first year,
that was really wonderful. Thank you.
I know many of you.
I've said this to probably be outside or I had a but, you know,
and I am so happy that we are able um I can say that I've been
here at least in some part in some way,
going all the way back to the 19 seventies.
Um So this is really, you know,
and grateful that and I am confident and I believe that I have
to thank um Principal Mark and I have to thank Christine Chavez.
I have to thank Doctor Wilson and Global Principals on that
advisory committee because they did,
they did listen to this and I in knowing what our school means,
it was later moving forward, they gave us input,
they our opinions,
they brought people into the school um so that we can be a part
of that process.
And I do appreciate the opportunity of being a part of the
process of handing over this building to um a new set.
So with that being said, you know,
