>> ALL RIGHT. WELL, I WANTED TO JUST TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THIS AWARD WAS.
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT ONE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE RECEIVE.
BUT EVERY YEAR, ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF NOMINATIONS FOR EDUCATORS OF THE YEAR.
I KNOW THAT THIS PARTICULAR PERSON THAT WAS NOMINATED THIS YEAR WAS ACTUALLY NOMINATED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT, WHICH IS A BIG DEAL.
I KNOW THAT WE ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT STUDENT SUCCESS IS FOSTERED BY COLLABORATION THROUGH PARENTS, FAMILIES, AND TEACHERS.
ANYTIME WE HAVE SUPPORTERS OF THAT WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, THAT'S HUGE FOR US AND WE CAN HAVE A GOOD OPEN CONVERSATION WITH EDUCATORS WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND OUR LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
I THINK THAT MAKES ALL OF OUR LIVES A LOT EASIER AND IT MAKES OUR STUDENTS MORE SUCCESSFUL.
THIS YEAR WE WERE ACTUALLY NOTIFIED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ABOUT THE TEXAS PTA THAT WE HAVE A WINNER OF ONE OF THOSE AWARDS HERE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT, THERE ARE FIVE THAT ARE GIVEN AWAY TOTAL, AND THIS YEAR, DR. MCCORD WAS ACTUALLY THE RECIPIENT OF THE TEXAS SUPERINTENDENT OF THE YEAR.
[INAUDIBLE] THAT OF ALL THE STUDENTS THAT WERE UP HERE, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DO AND BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS THEY ARE WITHOUT THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE HAVE: THAT NOT ONLY INCLUDES THE BOARD AND IT INCLUDES WHO HITS THIS ENTIRE DISTRICT AND IS CARRYING A LOT ON HER SHOULDERS AND CARES SO DEEPLY FOR ALL THE KIDS.
SHE HAS, HOW MANY? TEN THOUSAND KIDS.
[LAUGHTER] YES, AND SO WE ARE SUPER THANKFUL FOR YOU [INAUDIBLE].
>> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. THAT IS SO NICE.
>> WELL, I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES, BUT I WOULD JUST SAY AGAIN THAT BEING THE SUPERINTENDENT HERE IS A PRIVILEGE.
[00:30:01]
I WOULD SAY THAT THIS AWARD IS SO SPECIAL TO ME BECAUSE IT CAME FROM THE PARENTS AND TEACHER ASSOCIATION BECAUSE REALLY, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.TO BE RECOGNIZED AND TO BE NOMINATED, I REALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO NOMINATED ME, BUT I'M JUST REALLY GRATEFUL.
IT HAS BEEN A REALLY HARD YEAR, AND SO I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT A BOOST TO MY CONFIDENCE THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A REALLY HARD YEAR.
I WOULDN'T HAVE WANTED TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE.
THANK YOU ALL. THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THERE WAS [INAUDIBLE]
>> [OVERLAPPING] THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.
>> [INAUDIBLE] RIGHT HERE ON THE FRONT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
>> OUR LAST RECOGNITION OF THE NIGHT.
[1.H.7. Texas School Public Relations Association Gold Star Awards]
I'M VERY EXCITED TO HAVE MY COMMUNICATIONS TEAM UP HERE.THEY DO A LOT OF THINGS BEHIND THE SCENES.
I THINK OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS DON'T REALLY REALIZE HOW MUCH THEY DO.
THIS FEBRUARY WE WENT TO THE TEXAS SCHOOL PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSOCIATION AND EVEN THOUGH WE MOVED UP THE CATEGORY AND THE JUDGING, WE WENT TO THE GROUP OF 10 THOUSAND TO 30 THOUSAND STUDENTS, SO WE WERE UP AGAINST OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THAT RANGE, WE STILL BROUGHT HOME FIVE GOLD [INAUDIBLE] AWARDS AND BEST STAFF CATEGORY AND BRINGS OVERALL SEVERAL AWARDS.

I WORK WITH AN AWESOME GROUP, SO I LOVE BEING ABLE TO SEE THE WORK THAT THEY PUT OUT FROM THE MAGAZINE, THE WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS, THE VIDEOS THAT RAY PUTS OUT ON FRIENDSHIP.TV.
I JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THEIR AWESOME WORK.
[APPLAUSE] ALSO THEIR LEADER IS TIFFANY TAYLOR AND THEY PULLED OFF ALL OF THESE AWARDS.
IT WAS AT A TIME AND I THINK TIFFANY ACCEPTED THE JOB IN HER NEW ROLE.
THEN WAS ELECTED NEXT WEEK OR TWO? THAT THEY WENT TO [INAUDIBLE] AND NOT ONLY DID THEY GO TO [INAUDIBLE] AND WIN AWARDS, BUT THEY WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THE [INAUDIBLE] CONFERENCE WHICH WAS FACE TO FACE, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST FACE TO FACE EVENTS PROBABLY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS.
IT WAS IN FEBRUARY, I BELIEVE, YES.
WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS HAPPENING, TIFFANY, THEY WERE LIKE, YEAH, NO PROBLEM, WE CAN DO THIS.
THEY HELPED WITH THE CONFERENCE, TOOK AWAY LOTS OF AWARDS AND I COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU ALL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND GREAT WORK.
THEN NOW YOU HAVE A NEW MEMBER ON YOUR TEAM.
>> WELL, RICHARD, IS THE ONE TAKING THE [INAUDIBLE] [OVERLAPPING].
[00:35:03]

[LAUGHTER] IT'S LIKE YOU'VE BEEN BAPTIZED BY FIRE FOR THIS ENTIRE THING WITH COVID AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
BUT AS ALWAYS, WE GET EMAILS AT ALL TIMES OF DAY AND NIGHT, KEEPING US INFORMED FROM OUR STANDPOINT, KEEPING YOUR PULSE ON THE MEDIA OUT THERE, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT [INAUDIBLE].
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND THE DISTRICT, WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE DONE FOR US AND THAT DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED SO THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, [INAUDIBLE].
I ALSO HAVE MORE EXCITING NEWS.
WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER ON OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM.
THIS TEAM WILL TRY TO COME UP.
[NOISE] [LAUGHTER] THIS IS SABINE JACOBSON.
SHE IS OUR NEW COMMUNICATIONS MARKETING COORDINATOR.
SHE WAS THE DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST THERE.
BEFORE THAT, SHE WORKED AT THE VOLUNTEER CENTER OF LUBBOCK AND VARIOUS ROLES.
SHE COMES TO US WITH A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNICATIONS MARKETING.
SHE'S VERY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONALS OF LUBBOCK, JUNIOR LEAGUE OF LUBBOCK, LUBBOCK HYPE, AND SHE HAS ACTUALLY WON THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS OF LUBBOCK 20 UNDER 40.
BUT WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE HER ON OUR TEAM.
WE THINK SHE'LL BE A GREAT ASSET AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW AND PUSHING THE GOOD STORY OF FRENSHIP AND OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF.
SO WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE SABINE WITH US. THANK YOU.

WAS THIS THE SECOND YEAR THAT YOU JUST FINISHED? SECOND YEAR THAT SHE FINISHED.
BUT HER CHILDREN HAVE GONE TO BENNETT SCHOOLS.
WE'VE RECOMMENDED HER FOR BENNETT PRINCIPAL.
SHE IS GOING TO BE THE NEW BENNETT PRINCIPAL AND KELLY IS SOMEONE THAT I DON'T THINK SHE EVER MEETS A STRANGER, WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
WHEN SHE CAME TO WORK IN THE DISTRICT COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, SHE JUST FIT RIGHT IN.
HADN'T REALLY HAD MUCH OF A NORMAL YEAR WITH THE PANDEMICS AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING, BUT SHE TAKES IT IN STRIDE.
SHE WAS OUT FEEDING KIDS AND SHE IS JUST REALLY A DELIGHT.
I THINK I TOLD SOME OF YOU THIS, WHEN WE INTERVIEWED HER, WE HAD A LOT OF GREAT CANDIDATES, BUT SHE WAS JUST THE ONE, SHE WAS THE FIT FOR BENNETT FOR NOW.
WHEN I CALLED HER AND TOLD HER, I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT SHE TOLD ME.
I THINK SHE CRIED A LITTLE WHICH WAS OKAY.
[NOISE] [LAUGHTER] SHE SAID, "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TRUSTING ME WITH THIS." IT'S THAT HEARTFELT AND REFLECTION AND INSIGHT INTO KNOWING THAT WE ARE ENTRUSTED WITH THE LIVES OF EVERYONE WHOSE CHILDREN THAT WALK THROUGH THE DOORS.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THAT SO SERIOUSLY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS YOU WANT TO SHARE AND
[00:40:01]
THEN WE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND INTRODUCE PEOPLE. [LAUGHTER]>> I WOULD FIRST LOVE TO SAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO LEAD BENNETT ELEMENTARY, ESPECIALLY TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THE WORK THAT I'VE BEEN DOING THERE FOR A FEW YEARS.
I'M VERY, VERY EXCITED FOR THAT NEXT ADVENTURE.
>> YOU DIDN'T NAME ALL OF THEM.

[00:45:03]
THIS WILL BE THE SECOND ONE FOR THE SPRING HERE, TO KIND OF WRAP UP OUR WORK FOR YOUR FORCE.
JUST A REMINDER, THE STRATEGIC PLAN WAS DIVIDED UP INTO FOUR YEARS, EIGHT SPECIFIC RESULTS FOR YEAR FOUR.
GOAL NUMBER TWO, SPECIFIC RESULT IDENTIFY TOP QUANTITY, LOCATION OF SPACES TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT'S GROWTH AND ENROLLMENT.
YOU CAN SEE THERE, JUST A LIST OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED FOR THIS RESULT THIS YEAR.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS THE WORK OF MANY ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
IN A YEAR OF ALL THINGS PANDEMIC, OUR TEAM REALLY STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND SAID, "HOW CAN WE MAKE THE VISION OF THE COMMUNITY COME ALIVE THROUGH STRATEGIC PLANNING?" JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
WE ISSUED A BIG BOND AND WE EXPECT TO ISSUE THE REMAINDER OF THE BOND PORTION IN THE LATE SUMMER.
WE ALSO NEGOTIATED CONTRACT FOR A SECOND HIGH SCHOOL SITE.
WE PRESENTED THE DESIGN DOCUMENTS TO THE CMC COMMITTEE FOR THE FOURTH MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WE'VE MET WITH, AND WHEN I SAY "WE", AGAIN, THE WORK OF OTHERS.
MET WITH ARCHITECTS REGARDING PROGRAMMING FOR THE SECOND HIGH SCHOOL.
THEN, JUST MOST RECENTLY, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE FORESIGHT IN ALLOWING US TO GO ON A TRIP TO ALVIN AND COLLEGE STATION.
JUST SYSTEMATICALLY, WE'VE DONE IT.
WE DID THAT SO FAR IN ADVANCE IT ALLOWS ALL OF US TO REALLY SIT AND REFLECT ON WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO AND HAVE READY AS WE MOVE FORWARD. MOVING ON.
SPAIN COURSE OFFERINGS TO INCLUDE ACCELERATED ADVANCED AND CUSTOMIZED.
ALL VIRTUAL COURSES NEW FOR THE 21, 22 SCHOOL YEAR.
WE'LL BE EXPANDING OUR DUAL CREDIT COURSE OFFERINGS TO ADD DUAL CREDIT EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE.
THE COURSE PROVIDES JUST THE STUDY OF GEOLOGY AND HISTORICAL GEOLOGY.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES.
I THINK I PROBABLY HAVE A CHILD ENROLLED IN THAT.
>> AS WE PROGRESS, GOAL NUMBER FOUR.
CREATE A FRIENDSHIP ALUMNI PROGRAM TO PROMOTE YOUR TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE IN LEARNERS.
WE'RE CONTINUING TO JUST SEE HUGE SUCCESSES IN OUR YOUNG ALUMNI PROGRAM.
THIS PROGRAM DEVELOPS A PATHWAY FOR ENGAGEMENT AND CONNECTION WITH YOUNG ALUMNI AND FRIENDSHIP HIGH SCHOOLS.
PICTURE THEM BOTH ON MY LEFT, PROBABLY YOUR RIGHT.
YOU WILL JUST SEE A PANEL AND THE FRIENDSHIP ALUMNI ARE JACOB EVANS, HANNAH SO, I HOPE I SAID THAT RIGHT AND CHASE DAWSON HERE REPRESENTING THE TEXAS TECH HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.
ALL THREE OF THOSE STUDENTS SPOKE TO AROUND 150 STUDENTS ABOUT THE TEXAS TECH HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.
THE OTHER PICTURE, JACOB CLEMENS, ANOTHER FRIENDSHIP ALUMNI, SPOKE AT THE FA [INAUDIBLE] ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE BANQUET HELD ON MAY 11TH.
MOVING FORWARD, GOAL NUMBER SEVEN, WE WILL IMPLEMENT A MENU OF COMMUNICATION TOOLS TO INCREASE PATHWAYS FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS.
WE'RE EXCITED AND VERY THANKFUL TO BE OFFERING, PROVIDING EACH STUDENT WITH THE TECHNOLOGY DEVICE GOING INTO THE SCHOOL YEAR NEXT YEAR.
ALTHOUGH THE PANDEMIC HAS REALLY FORGED US FORWARD INTO A NEW DIGITAL WORLD.
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TOOK THE TIME TO TALK TO OUR STAFF ABOUT WHY ARE WE DOING ONE-TO-ONE AND WHAT'S THE IMPORTANCE? YES, PANDEMIC DID REQUIRE SOME OF THAT.
BUT REALLY, WHAT DO WE BELIEVE IN FRIENDSHIP AND HOW DOES THAT ALIGN WITH WHY WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS? IN ADDITION, THERE WE GO.
WE STARTED WORKING IN MAY, AND SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THE PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING ONE-TO-ONE TECHNOLOGY GUIDES CUSTOMIZED FOR ADMINISTRATORS, TEACHERS, AND PARENTS.
BASICALLY, JUST LIKE THE REOPENING GUIDES, THESE GUIDES ARE JUST GOING TO PROVIDE THAT SPECIFIC ROLLOUT THAT TEACHERS, STUDENTS, AND PARENTS ARE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL.
IT WILL ALSO BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE AND AVAILABLE [NOISE] WHENEVER WE NEED TO ACCESS IT.
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS WITH THAT? YOU CAN SEE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TIME GATHERING INPUT FROM TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.
WE ARE PROVIDING CURRENTLY, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
TIFFANY AND CREW, YOU JUST SAW THEM.
WE'LL WORK ON A WEBPAGE FOR FRIENDSHIP FAMILIES, AND THEN WE'LL TRAIN TEACHERS, STUDENTS, AND PARENTS AS WE GET THIS SCHOOL YEAR STARTED IN AUGUST.
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION.
CONTINUING WITH GOAL NUMBER SEVEN IN MAY OF 2021, THE PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH STUDENTS SERVICES DEVELOPED THE COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD.
THE COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD IS A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES
[00:50:01]
AND OUR COMMUNITY CAN VIEW INFORMATION RELATED TO SCHOOL-SPONSORED EVENTS, AND CAMPS, AND PROMOTIONS BY VARIOUS BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS.ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS IS BEFORE PARENTS WOULD HAVE TO GO TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO FIND INFORMATION.
NOW PARENTS OF ALL AGES CAN GO TO A ONE-STOP LOCATION AND FIND ALL THE CAMP INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED. ANY INFORMATION, REALLY.
OKAY. AS WE EMBARK ON NEXT YEAR, JUST A REMINDER.
WE ARE CONTINUING TO PUSH FORWARD WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.
JUST A REMINDER, HERE'S THE PRINCIPLES OF THE PROCESS.
