Thanks so much for being here. Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah, we got Girl Scout cookies here. There's lots of Girl Scout cookies. Before we get into this awesome collaboration and partnership between Mathnasium and the Girl Scouts of Southeast Wisconsin, first tell us about Mathnasium. And for folks at home who may not be familiar with it. Absolutely. So magnesium is a math only Learning Center. We support students as young as kindergarten. All the way up through 12th grade in high school. And really, we're all about meeting them where they're at on their math journey. So some kids come to us struggling, trying to keep up in class, and we can help them with that. And on the flip side, from an enrichment standpoint, there are kids that love math, are looking for an extra challenge, and we can push them along, too. But all about building confidence and a great, fun learning environment. Yeah. Mathnasium has been around for decades. You were just explaining to me 12 locations across the Milwaukee area. What is the impact been for the community here? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, like I said, we're supporting kids. Whether they're looking to catch up or keep up or get ahead. And so it's, it's that confidence that we see permeate not only in the math classroom, but into all aspects of their lives. And now you guys are teaming up with the Girl Scouts of Southeast Wisconsin to really make math learning fun and even tasty a little bit. Tell me about this collaboration. Yeah. So in honor of National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend next Saturday on March 1st, we're hosting at our Wauwatosa location on 70th and North Avenue, 9:30 to 12:30.

Yeah, I, I hear cookie and math and learning and I'm all like how I'm just hungry. But like, tell me, how does it, how does it go together? So here's an example.
