Thank you, Madam President, Board Members, Dr. Hint. It is an honor to announce on your behalf these businesses recognized by the Texas Association of School Boards and their Stand Up for Public Schools program. In KDISD, great business partners understand that our most meaningful, influential partnerships start with people first. Long term sustains relationships, friendships really, between employees and campus staff. The businesses we recognize tonight are stellar examples of what we look for in our KDISD school business partnership family. They stand up for Texas public schools by walking into our schools and making a difference for teachers and kids. Each has created its own unique way to connect with our campuses and although their partnership resumes are extensive, in the interest of time tonight I'm just going to spotlight one thing that makes each of them unique. As I introduce each business, their designated representative will come forward while others in the audience who are here with them please stand. And I'd also like to invite representatives of their partner campuses to stand as well when I call out their names. then we'll recognize them all as a group when we get to the end of the introductions. Brazos Valley Schools Credit Union, represented tonight by President and CEO Yvonne Kirshner. Brazos Valley employees have long been frequent flyers, frequent hands-on helpers in schools all over Katy-Ice-D, and have proven quite willing to get all the way up to their elbows in glue if that's what it takes to help teachers. Their level of personal engagement is truly exceptional. exceptional. They will do anything, assist with student registration, label and barcode library books and more, even judging the all-important pumpkin decorating contest. Best of all, they deliver staff breakfast and cookie treats to every single KDISD campus every year and have done this for years. Many Brazos Valley friends serve as Keys mentors. They are faithful Promise to Read volunteers. They give freely of their time, the most valuable gift and for that we are grateful. Chick-fil-a, Mason Road, Cinco Ranch, Katie Green, Rusty Wiley is the owner. They're represented tonight by Wendy Reinwald, their marketing director. Several years ago Wendy came in my office and pitched Chick-fil-a's new core essentials program. Through her diligence and owner Rusty Wiley's continued support and support of our counseling department, this incredible program is now at every Katie Icete campus. It's not unusual to to see the character quality of the month on our school marquees when we drive by as Chick-fil-A's core essentials programs become woven into our school support initiatives district-wide. And now Chick-fil-A's Leader Academy, a national high school leadership program, engages students outside of our traditional student leadership groups. That program has been launched at Morton Ranch and May Creek High Schools with great success. Curriculum and materials are all fully funded by Chick-fil-A. KDIC school staff facilitate the lessons and both of those schools plan to continue next year. As you can see our friends at Chick-fil-A are about a whole lot more than selling chicken. GEICO is represented tonight by Ann Robinson and Beth Henderson. We often get verbal support for our keys and junior achievement programs for larger companies but many find releasing their employees to volunteer difficult. GEICO has tackled that challenge with determination because they believe in supporting their employees' personal volunteerism and because they have great employees. GEICO is one of Junior Achievement's most loyal supporters, supporting the JA Golf Tournament annual bowl-a-thon. Most important, GEICO employees teach Junior Achievement at more than 50 classes every year and their employees are key mentors for students all over Katy ISD. That contribution, their people, and the company's willingness to prioritize employee volunteerism is to us the heart of exemplary corporate partnerships. Members Choice Credit Union, represented tonight by Randy Teelig, their CEO. Members Choice has been actively supporting our schools for as long as I can remember. Most recently they have crafted a unique school partnership with Schmalz Elementary. A vision of Kelly Gaines, who's here tonight taking pictures. Wave, Kelly. Books and a Buddy is now in its second year and is a huge hit with Schmoll's teachers, students and their families. Members' Choice has collected or purchased more than 18,000 books for approximately 1,300 kindergarten, first and second grade students. Each student received a teddy bear, the Buddy, and seven books all tucked in their very own drawstring backpack, designed and paid for by Members' Choice. 30 credit union employees sorted and packaged all those books and then showed up to personally hand them to students on curriculum night. Books and Abudies is a program that takes vision, planning, initiative and commitment and that's qualities we see in Member's Choice every single day. Memorial Hermann Katie, represented by their CEO, Heath Rushing. Memorial Hermann is the district's athletic healthcare sponsor, providing medical support, support, a concussion prevention program, and dedicated trainers for KDISD. As a leader in health care, Memorial Hermann is uniquely positioned to offer KDISD students first-hand experiences in its careers, providing a junior volunteer program, and sustaining a vibrant health sciences partnership with Miller Career and Technology Center. As a business partner, Memorial Hermann employees stay actively engaged in our Promise to Read and QIES mentoring programs. They are faithful supporters of the Key Scholarship Fund and the KDIC Education Foundation. Wood Group, represented tonight by Ashley Rayleigh. Martin Ranch Junior High is celebrating its third year of a unique partnership with Wood Group, part of the company's Founders Legacy Program. This three-year partnership began with a generous contribution of funds to purchase iPads and and quickly turned into the greater contribution of time, talents, and resources. Wood Group employees mentor Morton Ranch students, they adopt Morton Ranch families for the holiday season, and make everyone's day when they pull up to the campus with Trailblazer, a one-of-a-kind engineering museum on wheels. And if that's not enough, Wood Group provides people and money to beautify and upkeep the school's courtyard area. area. This level of commitment and engagement is rare among corporations of Wood Group's size. Founders' legacy, I think, speaks to the character of Wood Group employees and certainly to the character of the company itself. Brian Haynes could not be with us tonight, but we'd like to recognize the Monte Ballard YMCA of Cinco Ranch. Since its opening, the Y has been a devoted KDIC partners in education, education, always on the lookout for ways to help children, and much of it goes unnoticed. The Y's Partners program provides clothes, food, free swim lessons, and Y memberships for Katy ISD students and their families in need. The essence of the Y's community outreach is their annual backpack drive. This year, in Katy alone, our local Y collected items for 2,500 backpacks benefiting children at 44 of our schools. schools. An ardent supporter of our key KDST students run program, the Y has helped expand that initiative to three KDSD high schools. This year 60 non-athlete students and their coaches crossed the Houston half marathon finish line together, supported by organizations like the YMCA. Our Texas Association of School Board Honorees or Brazos Valley Schools Credit Union and none of you stood up. If you work for Brazos Valley please stand up or you partner with them. If you're a campus, there you are. Chick-fil-A, Mason Road, Sinker Ranch, and Katie Green. Where are you girls? There you go. Geico, Members Choice Credit Union, Memorial Hermann Katie, Monty Ballard YMCA, and Wood Group. We are proud to recognize these partners as shining examples of KDIC partnerships, and thank you to the board and Dr. Hint for giving us the opportunity to recognize them. We're grateful.

share a little about at sea Stanley Patsy Easton attended Baylor University Sam Houston State University where she earned her bachelor's degree Louisiana State University earning a master's degree she also holds degrees and certifications in physical education English counseling and supervision she's taught a combined years of 34 years retiring from Katy elementary only to then continue to teach and serve as a long-term sub throughout the district she's now an active member and officer of the Katy area of retired educators a few of Patsy's actually could extracurricular responsibilities in In addition to her teaching, she was a girls basketball coach, softball coach, volleyball coach, tennis coach, drill team director, cheerleader sponsor, and a pep squad sponsor. She had memberships including the Texas Association for Counseling and Development, American Alliance for Health and Physical Education and Recreation, Texas Outdoor Education, Association for Texas Professional Educators. She served as the chairperson, secretary, voting delegate, member and steering committee, and was an honor award recipient, all for the Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. Patsy was selected as one of 10 members of the state committee to revise the Texas Education Agency guidelines for elementary school education curriculum and was one of 15 educators to attend an outdoor education workshop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She was a member of the the Governor's Commission for Physical Education where she served as a consultant and a clinician at the Rite Act 10 workshops in various universities and independent school districts. She was a charter member of the Texas Outdoor Education Association and the State Workshop Planning Committee. Patsy has also served with the American Heart Association as well as the American Cancer Society. Her community activities involved Zeta Tau Alpha National Sorority, charter member of the Holy Covenant Methodist Church, Bible Study Fellowship for over 10 years teaching teaching children for two of them, community and Bible study core leader for 17 years, body recall certificate holder and teacher for 14 years, charter member and chairperson of Young at Heart Senior Group, chairperson for the Women's Retreat for St. Peter's United Methodist Church. A little more personal about Patsy. Patsy was married to Stan Stanley. And they have three amazing daughters, Reese, Michelle, and Rhonda, and four grandchildren. children. Patsy is the epitome of love and patience. She will tell you she was the head cheerleader for Stan Stanley. And as we all know Stan was a pillar in this community and I've said many times all pillars are built, they stand tall and they do not tumble because of the foundation that was laid before they were ever erected. Stan and Patsy have a love and a foundation in their faith and Patsy was a strength and a support for Stan in all of his endeavors that allowed him to always shine bright and tall in all that he did I'm not sure why Patsy's name was not originally added to Stanley Elementary as I was not on the board at that time but this has been something that's been on my heart since his passing a year ago since his passing I have watched miss Stanley as she's been at the school she's read to classes she's been to parties she's welcomed new students she said goodbye to graduating fifth graders she's enjoyed enjoyed cafeteria time and made herself available for carnival fun and welcomed a new principal. As Patsy carries on the legacy of Stan Stanley, and as I read before, she in her own right has a legacy that will also be carried on. I can't think of a greater honor than adding her name to Stanley Elementary and having it become Stan C and Patsy Stanley Elementary. In her own words, real happiness is serving others with purpose, passion, and perseverance, and Patsy Stanley exhibits all of them and I'm honored to be part of this naming tonight.
