1:27:55
Thank you for the work you've been doing because I will tell you that your program is very popular.
1:28:03
So my question for the field trip, I see 4200 field trips.
1:28:08
Where do we take the kids?
1:28:09
Are we taking them outside of the city, or they're all within the city?
Daniel Guillén
1:28:15
So there is a balance of trips that happened in the city and outside of the city.
1:28:19
Mhmm.
1:28:20
And it's very diverse.
1:28:21
So just gonna run off a couple of locations.
1:28:24
1 because I'm a Yankee fan.
1:28:26
They did we did implement trips to Yankee Stadium, to the MLB offices.
1:28:30

I love that because what I always said, when you take children out of the space that they have, so limited for some of them.
