being q through perseverance, our principals and teachers and parents weret÷ñ?ñ?ñ supportive and these types of events provide acceptances and understanding of other cultures and give us better understanding and appreciation of our own. so even though it was a labor of love and strong emphasis on labor and love, that this was a collaborative effort that would not have happened without the support of our principal our internal pco board and the family voice and of course the indian education program. michael -- that becomes an annual program and feel strongly with the continued support of9[ñ?ñ? the members of the board of education, our superintendent's office and the indian education program that this could be implemented ines r every school throughout the district. thank you. >> thank you. item k, advisory committee reports and appointments to advisory committee by the board members. any appointment by board
