004Okay, next we have our presentation, our campus report for Emma Robertson Early Learning Campus, Miss Kelly Lambert. All right, thank you, school board and um Dr. Mosky for having us. Uh just a little overview on Emma Roberson. Uh, we are a federal program you have to qualify for. And so, we put our statistics out there. We have an average of about 350 kids. Um, we have 56 direct instructional staff, which is our teachers and our paraprofessionals. Um, two admin, Ms. Pollock and myself. And then we have five support staff, which include our nurse, our receptionist, our instructional specialist, and our secretary. And there are eight ways that you can qualify to get into um pre-K. And if you don't qualify in those eight ways, um that's the only way you can get in. It's not
005an open pre-K. And then we have a partnership with Head Start. So, you can also qualify through Head Start. And that is right now we have five pre-K 3 classes. And then we have three pre-K 4 classes. And that partnership, um we just help each other out. They provide a lot of professional development. They pay for half the teacher, the full para, lots of supplies. It's a great partnership to have with Head Start. And then we also have early childhood special education. And those students can enroll throughout the year on the day of their third birthday if they qualify with a disability. And when you get to Emma Roberson, the students, um we start with the students from letters, colors, numbers, shapes, write your name, those sorts of things. And we go all the way
006to Good job. And that's one of our readers. And so, we take kids where they're at. So, if they come in, that little student there is in our pre-K 3 program. So, he's already reading and he'll be with us for another year. So, we take them from where they're at, whether it's at the beginning or whether they come in. Our two little pledge leaders, they are now readers as well. And so, we're very, very proud of that part. Uh, we also have our experience rooms on campus. We have four experience rooms currently. Our students get to take two weeks at a time in each of those experience rooms, including space exploration, the zoo room, a camping experience, as well as a farm to market room, which includes live chickens. So, they're actual chicken tenders for
007the two weeks that they're in that room. Uh, we try to make sure that all of the experiences within that room are uh leveled to to meet all the needs of all of the students. And we're um constantly looking to improve on those and asking for um information from our leaders and from our um teachers, who are the experts whenever it comes to those rooms. Me again? Also, we have um several family engagement activities throughout the year. We do monthly um family engagement, including a grandparents day in the fall, um four different craft and game days with our families. We have several parties. We have a field day. Uh we also do four music programs that are at night through our um music class, where the kiddos get a chance to get up on stage
008and really perform. And as you could see from earlier, we have plenty of performers. And then, of course, we are a national showcase school for capturing kids hearts hearts. And we're very proud of that. And that program has just brought a lot of awareness to um just that kindness and having that student power. Our kids greet um people at the door. They greet each other. Um, the mutual respect that they have for each other has grown. And uh capturing kids hearts is just plays a very, very big part uh in that in that program. And that's Emma Roberson. Thank you so much for taking the time to share part of your day with us. It's always a joy when we get to see the great things happening on our campuses. And when we can reach
009them at that young of an age, the impact that we are able to have on their education and building that foundation at such an early age is so impactful. And so, thank y'all for the work that you do every day. Thank you. Okay, next up we have our achievement spotlights. And we're starting with the Lamar Award recipients presented by Dudley Raybon from the Masonic Lodge. And I will say this place always drives me nuts because I was taught never to turn your back on an audience. And y'all are back here. They're up there. So, I'm going to kind of say it sideways if y'all don't mind. Does my voice carry okay? Okay. Um, good evening Superintendent Brosky, uh board members, special guests, and parents, ladies and gentlemen, good I am Dudley Raybon on the city
010master Granbury Masonic Lodge. I've been told to keep it under 5 minutes. I'm going to be really close, but I'll look. Uh, it is my privilege to be here this evening to present two Lamar Awards on behalf of Granbury Masonic Lodge. You may wonder why a Masonic Lodge gives this award. In order to explain that, let me take just a minute of your time and give you a little history. Masonry, for those of you that do not know, this goes back historically to the early 1600s when they were building the great cathedrals and churches and buildings in England and Europe. It was a cast type system that had three schools of instruction. They were identified as entered apprentice, fellow crafts, and masters. We are speculative masons. We don't really beat down stones and put them
011in place, but we do keep that same type instructional process. So, education is very important to the Masonic work. Our lodge has been doing this and been doing this for several hundred years. Masonic family or Masonic fraternity has existed long before Texas did, obviously. And was there during our independence. In Texas, it is a sad thing that much of our history is lost in the urgency of the past tense because there's so much that we have in our history. That put aside, there are a few things I want to share. How many of you realize that over 8% of the population of the men that died fell under the war masons? Most of them were great leaders of this state before, during, and after. Many of them were folk heroes. They included also, believe it
012or not, General Santa Anna of the Mexican Army. He was a mason. And he died in Philadelphia, of all places. Did you also know that the government of the state of Texas or the country of Texas, the republic, was founded and driven by Masonic principles and guidance? You will find it the Constitution of the United States as well. And many other things have great influence from our teachings and our principles process. Historically, there are many important personalities in Texas and US history that were masons. The important object of masonry is to take a good man and make him better. The fraternity is known for its charity work. I don't know how many of y'all are familiar with St. Jude's. That's a Masonic hospital. I don't know how many of you know about the Shrine Burn
013Hospital in Galveston. Masonic hospital. It is also free to all the people who go there. Totally. There is no bill. Annually in [clears throat] Texas, the Masonic organization distributes over $1 million every 24 hours to hospital systems, education, and social services. Your website you look at to get all this information. But let me ask you a few questions about people you may not realize are masons. Any of you ever heard of John Wayne? Earl Campbell? Buzz Aldrin? John Elway? Shaquille O'Neal? Rick Wagoner? Richard Dreyfuss? Ernest Borgnine? He kills maybe the original. Good show, right? Mel Blanc? He was the voice of all the cartoons we grew up with as kids. Mark Twain? Theodore Roosevelt? Danny Thomas? George Washington Carver? Brad Paisley? Elvis Presley? How many of y'all know who Simon Simon Cowell is? You know,
014the guy who does the talent show thing? He's a mason. Go back to Texas, Mirabeau Lamar. He was born in Georgia, came to Texas. When his family died off, he had to go back to Georgia. While he was there, he heard about the Battle of the Alamo and it fell. He immediately finished his business, came back, was involved in a skirmish where he was able to save the lives of Thomas J. Rusk and Walter P. Lane. Through that and several other in-field events, he quickly promoted to the rank of colonel. And he came in as an enlistment or private. Soon after his appointment, he was uh soon after he was promoted to the rank of colonel. After the Battle of San Jacinto, he was appointed the first state Texas country secretary of war. In 1960
015In 1936, he was elected the first vice president of the Republic of Texas. In 1838, he was inaugurated the second president of Republic of Texas. In his address before Congress, President Lamar called for the appropriation of lands to support public education. The land was set aside for a public school system and two universities. Today, we know that it was Texas A&M and University of Texas. The motto of the University of Texas come directly out of his speech. That the cultivated mind is the guardian of genius. In the early days of Western expansion and in Texas, often places that schools and churches met were Masonic halls or a business. We gave it up for that purpose and community use our buildings. We shared in the community spirit directly. For this reason, the Grand Lodge of Texas
016created the Lamar Award as a simple way of acknowledging those students, teachers, and other staff that do not just do their job. There's a lot of people just do their job. But to help aid and direct the learning learners we are trusted with, these people go above the call and endure personal and social obstacles that many will walk away from. But they still stay to touch and lead forward, whether through cancer, personal loss, financial hardship, medical complications, or things that just they just don't make sense. They just show up and lead. Granbury Masonic Lodge 392 is honored to recognize two worthy examples of this character tonight. First, and I have not met these people. I apologize, but I'm looking at everybody trying to figure it out. I know their paperwork though. It's got some really
017cool stuff. Uh Sherry Jo Davis. Without giving too much information away other than what is on the thing, having had teachers like this what or what make education really valuable cuz she has endured hardship. She's continually battling cancer and that is a life-altering event. And yet you still showed up and you led the way and we would like to say thank you so very much for your efforts. Here's this. Let me do this real quick. I'm not about to try to read this. We We give We give a medal. Her name is on it. It does have a relief of President Lamar. So, if I may, I'll just put this over you here. And again, thank you. Thank you. The other one, I have an affinity for military and I have affinity for this for
018a lot of reasons. But our next one is Viola Allen. I you know, JROTC is an incredible program. Although I was not in it, I was always with those guys. And I went to school with one who became one of these people at the White House on a regular basis when I was when I was a kid. But this young lady is now This is hard to say. Sergeant Major of the Granbury ROTC. That is an incredibly rough place to be and for a young lady to do it is incredibly awesome. The The accolades your your commander gives you are maturity, the integrity, the resilience, the commitment to excellence, the learning difficulties you've overcome. And that is it's a mark of distinction and we are so very proud of that and that is what this
019is all about is to let you know you're not doing it blind. Everybody's out there watching you and we are so proud. Thank you, sir. And it's a little bit different, but you know, the ROTC program, it's pretty cool. Thank you for everything. Thank you so much. You're so awesome. All right. Thanks for that. I'll just choose to use my phone. And I'm done. Thank you. Thank you. Now, you have a photo op. Do you have it? If you have any family, friends, teachers in the audience, would you also please stand and be recognized? All right, we get one more with her. We got to get All right, you got it. Okay, next we have our LEAP Academy graduates presented by Ms. Tammy Clark. Okay. Good evening. I am very excited to recognize our um
020>> [clears throat] >> participants of our Leadership Experiences for Aspiring Professionals Academy. Um they have gone through monthly meetings that they sign up to participate in because these professionals want to continue to grow and they are going above and beyond um and learning the the ins and outs of the background of education. And so, some of the things that they have gone over is the campus improvement plan process, title and state comp ed funds, which is riveting, attendance, truancy, and how we handle all of those processes, um having difficult conversations and personnel issues, the A-F accountability system, um targeted interventions, especially with our language learners, the administrative role in our ARDs and our BTAs, and then campus climate and team building. So, that's what was on the calendar for this year. And we had a
021small but mighty group of um graduates. And so, from Acton Elementary School, I'd like to honor Britney Aiken. From Acton Middle School, Aubrey Ball. And you have to stay up here in the middle. Ladies, right up in the middle. Yes. >> [clears throat] >> And then from Baccus Elementary School, Lacey Clark. Acton Elementary School, Summer Melendez. From Granbury Middle School, Megan Reno. Acton Elementary School, Kristen Taylor. And Oak Woods Elementary, Brooke White. After participating in some of these um sessions, they also had a half day. They signed up for who they wanted to go shadow and they had a half day shadowing experience for something that they may be interested in their future. So, it really opens up their opportunities and um has gets them informed on what they want to maybe do next as
022they pursue their professional growth. So, these are the go the people who go above and beyond. So, this is a great group right here. Next we have our Shottenkirk Senior of the Month presented by Shottenkirk. Elise Jernigan, are you in here, Jernigan? Hi, my name is Denise and this is Misty, our general manager at Shottenkirk Ford.

Got it. If we have any family, friends, or teachers in the audience, would you please stand up be recognized as well. Okay, next we have our 5A state powerlifting state qualifiers presented by coach Haley and coach Morrow. Good evening. Thank you guys for having us so much. And thank you for this opportunity to recognize these student athletes. These young men and women represented themselves and Granbury High School honorably during competition. They probably represented their school, their school district and community on and off the field of competition. The great thing about these four is they are fantastic in their field of competition,
024but they're also or better yet, they're they're great young men and young women. I have no doubt that they will be successful and productive in the community and wherever they land. I would like to personally thank their parents and loved ones for raising such amazing young men and women. Powerlifting consists of three lifts. And you get three attempts at each one of those lifts. There's a back squat, a bench press, and a deadlift. And we compete we compete bi-weekly where you earn the right to compete in the regionals and then in state. They must qualify for that. Senior Gavin Osco is a two-sport athlete. He qualified for state by lifting the auto qualifying number of over 950 lb. And what made it really cool and special for Gavin this year is that his brother Gary
025also earned his spot lifting in Abilene by placing second in 5A in his weight class in regionals. And both of these men set season highs in at the state competition for themselves. They competed really hard and really well. And for the Texas High School Women's Powerlifting Association state championship after finishing one spot off the podium last year, junior Kat Goodner finished in fifth place this year in her weight class and she finished with a total 985 lb. And then finally, senior Estraya Diaz after finishing second place last year, and she has become the first Granbury High School powerlifter state champion. She competed in the unequipped division and set a new state record for her weight class with a total of 895 lb. We will certainly miss Estraya and Gavin next year. They were both great
026leaders and hard workers, but I'm excited that they have both received offers and will continue to compete in powerlifting at the next level. We are proud. So, thank you board. Thank you GHS administration. Thank you for GISD athletics and these amazing coaches that we get to work with daily. So, thank you guys so much. If you have any family, friends, teachers in the in audience, could you please stand and be recognized as well?

027association. I'm also joined by my fellow sponsors and GHS teachers Alicia Gabrielson and Mr. Max Holly.

Tonight we are recognizing Ms. Katie Pig, Ashley Olivia, Emma Tempus, and Abigail Sullivan.

Their success reflects countless hours of preparation, dedication, and commitment to excellence both inside and outside of the classroom. We would

They've met with their teams to analyze their enrollment their needs for teaching assignments at each grade level. They've had talked about their needs above and beyond their at the campus level. They've they've discussed it with their principals. They've they've discussed at the district level with teaching and learning departments with special ed departments and with
040facilities and technology needs that they might need above and beyond their normal needs. They've identified anything they might needed above that and they should have had those conversations with those departments. Central office staff and departments have also met with their departments and decided what they might have needed beyond their normal operations and they've had those meetings. Each of those budget managers have also met with the executive cabinet and discussed those needs with us. We've taken all those into consideration and we've made we've discussed those amongst ourselves and we've taken those to the superintendent and we will continue to have those discussions with her.

041those decisions. Preliminary property values will come at the end of this month. We'll have a better idea of what those budgets will look like. We still are budgeting on zero student growth. And um we'll make final decisions on that one but that is zero student growth we are making the budget determination that we will have a recapture payment again at about 3.8 million dollars. And um all the budgets should be put in at this time.
