It’s Friday June 5th.

And it was on this date in 2004 our 40th President of the United States passed away at the age of 93 -  Ronald Wilson Reagan.   It was also on this date in 1968 that Bobby Kennedy was fatally shot by 24-year-old Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles after winning the California primary.  He died the next day.

And still living is Kenny G - he turns 70 today. Don Reid of the Statler Brothers turns 81.

And here in Boerne we say happy birthday to Katie Clark, Jonas Vasquez, Ann Marie Mungia, the lovely Linda Melendrez, and Happy Birthday to our BBBVIP Karen Ingram out at Riven Rock Ranch in Comfort…the party is tomorrow at 7:30 with the JR Herrera Band and La Calabria Wood Fired Pizza.

Board of Trustees member Rich Sena represented Boerne ISD at a recent Texas House Public Education Committee hearing. He provided a testimony about issues facing our public schools, including HB 2 implementation, school finance, teacher recruitment and investments in special education. Mr. Sena shared a local perspective on the importance of supporting teachers, strengthening public schools and ensuring districts have the stable funding needed to serve students, staff and families well. 

Boerne ISD is joining the American Heart Association’s District of Lifesavers initiative for the 2026-27 school year. The program promotes heart health, CPR awareness, and community service. Five Boerne ISD elementary students recently ranked among the top 50 fundraisers out of 15,000 participants regionally through the Kids Heart Challenge. Recognized students include: Kendall Elementary: Kellen W. (26th), Victor M. (29th) Curington Elementary: Ruby S. (24th), Jaxson W. (39th) Herff Elementary: Samuel M. (30th).  District leaders say the partnership will help prepare students to make a meaningful impact both in and out of the classroom. 

A massive new youth sports complex and county park could be on its way to the southern edge of Kendall County. The land, located in the sprawling Lemon Creek Area, about 10 minutes from Boerne, currently belongs to the Alamo Colleges District. If approved, the 18-acre sports complex would add eight new baseball diamonds, four soccer fields and a 200-car parking lot to the area. 

Programming alert - tomorrow morning at 9 we’ll be airing an hour-long interview with Greyhound Football Coach Brett Sawyer on the Beyond the Lights: Football Across Texas podcast hosted by Coach Brandon Brown.

This Sunday at 2 is the new time for Dennis Postiglione’s Country AND Western Show and that’s followed by Sam Upshaw’s Pure Country Show from 3 to 6…so 4 hours of solid Country Music on Boerne Radio.
