Texas History Teacher Mr. Richardson with Caia Flatau and Siri Abhijit from Boerne Middle School South.

 

 

It’s Thursday, May 7th

 

It was on this day in 1945 that Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in France, ending its role in World War II.  It was also on this day in 1975 when President Gerald Ford formally declared an end to the “Vietnam era.”  And if you don’t want to start a new war...don’t forget this Sunday is Mother’s day.  And as it’s the first Thursday in May it’s the National Day of Prayer…

 

Boerne ISD has purchased 31 acres off North Main Street as part of its long-term growth strategy.  We’re talking about the big patch of land across from Albany Engineered Composites between Sisterdale Road, and Commerce.  District leaders say the land could support a future middle school and expanded career and technical education facilities. Officials say the purchase aligns with Bond 2022 goals and will help the district plan for future enrollment while maximizing current campuses and delaying the need for a third high school. 

 

Boerne Middle School South Texas History Teacher Tim Richardson was recently asked to speak to the Sons of the Republic of Texas about the Alamo and the work being done in Texas History Classrooms. On top of that, the organization hosts a statewide letter writing competition, and this year the campus has two student winners out of 1500 entries. One student, Siri Abhijit, placed in the Top 20 in the state, and another, Caia Flatau, earned an outstanding 4th-place finish.  Because of them, Boerne Middle School South was awarded $600  to enhance Texas History instruction.

 

The Patrick Heath Public Library is welcoming artist Issac Grigar this May for the first annual No Blank Canvas artist exhibition. This program is a community art experience that will feature artists in residence yearly to spotlight under-told stories in the Hill Country. Isaac’s exhibition is titled “Their Absence in Our Presence”, which includes six multi-media works of art created in the last year, exploring the people, landscape, and histories that make the Texas Hill Country home for us all. There will be an opening reception for the exhibit tomorrow starting at 6. 

 

Sheriff Al Auxier swore in 2 new Deputies this week - Welcome to the force Deputy Lonescu and Deputy Diamond! Welcome to Kendall County and thank you for serving the community.

And lots of Boerne Birthdays today…

Happy birthday to LeeAnn Daeke, Lucinda Richter, Alec Stephenson, Cary Berger, Jeffinfer Perez, Stephanie Anderson over at the Richter Tavern and Cork and Keg, Jennifer Perez, and one more time Jamie Demski at Tootie Pie. 

If you know one of them, call or text them and tell them you heard their name on Boerne Radio…

God bless you this day!
