Nice so many good community sponsors. You know this one of the things I love about the Catholic schools here in Hays is it's not you know, it's inclusive. It's everybody in and is supported. And I think even the folks over USD 49 help support it. And I love to hear that there's so many community sponsors helping you out to get the school year started off right down there. I love that.
