All right, so it is my pleasure to uh give recognition to this year's developing youth leadership class. We are excited to have twenty-six students participating in the program this week. Throughout the week, the students will closely work with city staff, learning hands-on city trades in the morning and gaining experiences in the professional office work environment in the afternoon. Uh, if you all would come up, their commitment enthusiasm reflect the bright future of leadership in our community. Our hope are to show the students that the city of Los Justices can be a great place to work, live and raise a family. We look forward to having the students with us all week long. Thank you all. Sure. Thank you. Hello, everyone. My name's Katrina Goldinez. I'm with the community engagement program. Um so we had an awesome thing happen with this registration. Um we had a limit of thirty students because we had a limit of the van capacity, and so because we did two, we did a trades path and we did an office and professional path. And so in the morning, we needed the vans, but we actually have thirty-seven students sign up. And uh so we have twenty-seven and we have twenty-seven coming in the morning, which was perfect for the vans. We have met our capacity for the vans, and then we have twenty-seven coming in the afternoon. So here's our afternoon class right here. And uh so we got very lucky with that, and then also um we're very thankful to our very busy city departments for taking the time uh to help us out with this program, and also we got some sponsors for um for lunch because we're gonna be uh fed all week. And we also just got word that we got Thursday covered by MJ Photo Studios. And so our hope is that we keep the students engaged all week and they keep coming back every day. So please wish us luck. Thank you. Thank you, Katrina. Great job. So uh family members, if you want to take a quick picture, uh, and just make sure that uh you all can see the camera. I know some of you are are tall like I am. So that was a joke. Tall people in the back.
