It looks like my colleagues agree. So we would like to move this forward with a positive recommendation, and without objection that motion passes unanimously. Mr. Clerk, is there any other items . That completes the agenda for today. Chairwoman and the meeting is adjourned thank you. Know how hard you have worked to win a state championship. It is an absolutely incredible accomplishment. Dont correct my grammar because i went to galileo high school, and you went to lowell. You did it focused as a team, and it matters. You are going to look back on this time in your life, and you are going to think wow, this was the best time of my life. It may not seem that way right now, but a few years from now, youre going to look back, and youre going to really remember your teammates, youre going to remember the excitement when you played, and yes, the challenges, because we know it takes a lot of hard work, both physically and mentally to get to a place where you can win a state championship, and i wanted you all to know how proud we are in San Francisco that these incredible women that are sitting before me today achieved this incredible milestone. So i wanted to take the opportunity to honor you here at city hall because im really proud of each of you for what you were able to do. I want to ask your coach, coach sung, to come up, and say a few words. Is the coach here today . There you go. Come on up, coach. [applause] the hon. London breed wait a minute. You look like youre a student at Lowell High School. You know, not too long ago, i was at lincoln. The hon. London breed lincoln . Too nice. And not too long ago, you guys beat lincoln. Not when i was playing. Come on up, coach, and congratulations to everybody. [applause] good evening. My name is kelly sung, and i am the varsity coach at Lowell High School. First, id like to thank mayor london breed and her staff for inviting us here tonight. Its so amazing to be recognized for all our hard work. Growing up and attending lincoln high school, the aaa teams never made it far in the post season. In the beginning of this season, our goal was to win our section title and to get past the second round of norcal. We were able to accomplish that and so much more, but i will let marie go kind of speak to that. What i wanted to touch on is how proud i am of these girls. Before practice or tournaments, you could find them studying for their tests or getting ahead of homework. It is hard to balance academics and sports at such a prestigious school. Our team held the highest accumulative grade point average of any team at Lowell High School. Telling teams that they are your Favorite Team is sort of bad practice, but in my nine years of coaching, i have to admit this is one of my Favorite Teams to coach. Not only because of the success they had, but because of their love for volleyball and each other. I hope you all remember how much of an impact you have made on not only Lowell High School but in womens sports. You are the first team at lowell and the first team in aaa to win state titles. Continue to lastly, i want to thank the parents for your support this season. Having to leave work early or wake up at 5 00 a. M. For tournaments is not easy, but just know that we would not have accomplished this without your unwavering support, so thank you so much. And next, were going to have our team captain, mari mariko tanaka. Good evening, everyone. My name is mariko tanaka, and i am a senior at Lowell High School. This past Volleyball Season was one of the most amazing experiences ive ever had, and i am so thankful to be a part of this team and so proud to be able to accomplish something even beyond my imagination. At the beginning of this season, winning state was something i never thought my team would get an opportunity to achieve. Our main goal was to win aaa section championships and advance past the second round of c. I. A. Norcal playoffs. The team stayed focused on reaching this goal, and with the hard work came reward to go undefeated in league play and win our city championship. After this, keeping focus was extremely hard, but with the encouragement of our coaches, kelly and j. J. , we won the first and second and then third round against burlingame in an extremely close match, knocking off the number one seed on their home turf to win the championship is indescribable. We are under dogs again in the c. I. F. Playoffs, but we were able to bring back the first state championship in volleyball in San Francisco history. [applause] individually, everyone on this team is very different, but we managed to find a way to gel together in the most perfect way possible. On behalf of this team, i would like to thank mayor london breed for having us and would also like to thank all friends and family for all the support you showed for us this season. Thank you. [applause] the hon. London breed thank you. All right. Thank you. That was great. Whos the next speaker here . Oh, the principal, yes. And again, let me just say, i notice that theres some members of the press here. I hope you get the word out about the incredible students at our school that are achieving great things because we need to continue to shine a light on all the work that they do to accomplish such a great thing here in San Francisco. So with that, come on up. [applause] i would also like to thank london mayor breed mayor london breed. I know that she was a galileo lion, but now that she is the mayor of this great city, someday she has to be a mission bear or a washington great eagle, but today, i would like to have her as a lowell cardinal. [applause] this was an incredibly exciting season. Every week, we would advance a little bit. I would come back to the office, and they would say, they won again, they won again. And i was there at that burlingame game. That was a very exciting game. There were moments when the opposing team looked like they were set up to get some wonderful spike, and no, didnt happen. So what i could really see was our young women here had the most incredible focus, and they were looking at each other like this; you get it. And thats what won the Championship Team work. I couldnt be prouder of these young women who brought home a championship and on top of that maintained the highest g. P. A. , continued to do so well in their academics. We will say goodbye to the ones who graduate this here, but we have a great young team coming up, and i would love to come back here next year. Thank you so much for bringing lowell to city hall, and thank you to our mayor for having us. [applause] and now, i believe the mayor will give the certificates. The hon. London breed we have jennie lam, who is a teacher and an elected member of the school board. What she does, she makes sure, along with the school board, that you have the tools you need. So with that, ill turn it over to you. Thank you. First, were going to acknowledge our players and then the coaches. So first, id like to acknowledge kaly bucmongla, katey yee, heather wu, carly lu, kelsey mah, pearl vermilia, gabrie gabriela kwak, alexandra chow, eliana ellie brown, alina qi, aleti edmonds, mariko tanaka, kylonni wong, assistant coach joshua jong. Last, but not least, head coach kelly sung. Can we get a Group Picture with the mayor at the podium, and then last with players and coaches. [applause] the hon. London breed well, its that simple. That concludes our program, and again, i want to just thank all of you and congratulations to this incredible team. Thank you to the parents and the family members who are here today. We appreciate your support, and well, i would say continue to get good grades, but you guys go to lowell so i dont have to say that. Continue to just remember that you all as champions are leaders. People look up to you because of what youve been able to accomplish, and so continue to hold your heads up high, do all the great things that you are meant to do, and who knows what may end up happening in the future. You could end up mayor. So thanks for coming today, and congratulations. [applause]
