AND MR. CATO AND COACH ARMSTRONG.
JERRY BROWN FAMILIES IN THE ROOM TONIGHT.
LET'S HEAR FOR A MOMENT. WAY TO GO.
YOU ALL GIVE US SUCH GREAT CROWLEY PRIDE.

WHO IS READY FOR NEXT SEASON? ALL RIGHT. OH, NUMBER ONE.
WELL, I KNOW OUR TRUSTEES ARE GOING TO BE THAT FOR THIS ONE.
[00:25:36]
THAT IS IT FOR THAT RECOGNITION.BUT OUR NEXT HEARTBEAT AWARD ALSO INVOLVES MEADOW CREEK.
MADAM PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DR.
WE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THIS AWARD BEFORE THE MEADOW CREEK MUSTANGS WON THE CHAMPIONS.
THEY'RE ALL CHAMPIONS AND THEY'RE LED BY SOME INCREDIBLE EDUCATORS, ADMINISTRATORS AND COACHES.
AND THEY GOT TOGETHER AND NOMINATED ONE OF THEM FOR THE HEARTBEAT AWARD THIS MARCH.
WHAT'S SPECIAL TO ME ABOUT MR. ARMSTRONG. IS HIS SUBTLENESS RIGHT? HE'S VERY QUIET.
BUT WHEN HE SPEAKS, EVERYBODY LISTENS.
HE'S GOT ALL THE DETAILS TO WORK HARD, WORKING FOR WHAT THEY CAN DO.
HE'S A WONDERFUL FOOTBALL COACH.
YOU CAN TELL HIM I WORK WITH BOYS AND TELL HIM WHAT TO DO.
YOU KNOW, GETTING THEM STRAIGHT, GETTING THEM IN LINE.
THIS IS OUR HEARTBEAT TEAM AWARD WINNER FOR ALL OF CROWLEY ISD THIS MONTH, LET'S HEAR FROM MR. ARMSTRONG.
SO AS YOU ALL KNOW, MR. ARMSTRONG IS ALWAYS PRESENT HERE AT MEADOW CREEK.
HE IS ALWAYS SELFLESS, TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE ON CAMPUS, THE STUDENTS AND STAFF.
I BELIEVE MR. ARMSTRONG DESERVED THIS AWARD BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HEART FOR CHILDREN TO STOP A PARENT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING TRAFFIC JUST TO SAY, I LOVE YOUR CHILD.
YOU KNOW, YOUR CHILD IS A GREAT KID.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HEART OF OUR CHILDREN.
SO THIS AWARD IS VERY, VERY FITTING FOR HIM.
OH, I ENJOY SEEING THE SMILE ON THEIR FACE EVERY MORNING.
I ENJOY HEARING THEM SAY GOOD MORNING MR. ARMSTRONG.
THAT'S THE MOST. I MEAN, THAT'S WHY EVEN THE BABIES, PRESCHOOLER MORNINGS.
I LOVE THAT. SO, MR. ARMSTRONG, THE JOB HERE AT MEADOWCREEK IS MULTITUDE OF THINGS.
BUT HIS LABEL IS THE CAMPUS MONITOR? SO HE'LL GO AROUND AND CHECK ALL THE CLASSROOMS, ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY IS SAFE HERE ON CAMPUS? THE DOORS ARE LOCKED.
HE'LL GO IN AND DO THE LUNCH DUTY AND AFTER HE DOES CAMPUS MONITORING AND NOW IN COACH . WALKS AROUND AND MAKES SURE ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED DRAWINGS I SAFE AND IT MAKES ME FEEL PRETTY GIDDY.
NO JOB IS TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL FOR HIM.
HE'LL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND HIS HIS JOB DESCRIPTION TO HELP ANYBODY.
YOU KNOW HOW HOW WONDERFUL OF A CHILD HE IS.
AND THEN HE STARTED TELLING ME ABOUT DAD AND NOTICED OUR ABILITIES AND SAID, HEY, YOUR DAUGHTER HAS A GIFT.
SHE WAS KEEPING UP WITH THE FIFTH GRADERS IN TRACK.
[00:30:01]
THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEED TO CULTIVATE.IT'S SOMETHING SPECIAL WHEN SOMEONE IS WATCHING.
NO, NO. HE SAID THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO CULTIVATE.
IT WAS A PETITION TO MAKE SURE WE GET THAT.
SO WITH COACH ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM, HE MAKES SURE WE GET TACKLED.
HE MAKES SURE THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS GETTING THE GAME.
AND ONE THING THEY MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS FUN.
HE KNOWS THE GAME AND THOSE STRATEGIES AND KNOWS HOW TO WIN.
MEADOWCREEK HAVING A FOOTBALL TEAM IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BROUGHT A SENSE OF PRIDE ON THE CAMPUS.
HE CAN MAKE SURE THAT HE MAKES YOUR JOB A GOOD STUDENT IN THE CLASSROOM.
50% OF MY KIDS THAT GRADES IS LOW AND NOW IN THE EIGHTIES AND 99.
THEY'RE GRADES. TEACH THEM HOW TO GO IN CLASS AND GET THEIR GRADE.
WE TEACH THEM HOW TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK.
I WANT TO SEE THEM GROW. I WANT TO SEE THE ONES THAT WOULD TURN LEFT GOING BACK RIGHT, RIGHT.
THE IMPACT THAT HE'S MAKING, THE KIDS ARE NOT GOING TO FORGET.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FORGET IT.
DARRYL WILL NEVER FORGET THIS SCHOOL YEAR OF FOOTBALL.
HE'LL HE'LL NEVER FORGET THE IMPACT THAT MR. ARMSTRONG HAS MADE.
JAYDA WILL NEVER FORGET THAT FIRST COACH THAT ENCOURAGED HER TO RUN TRACK.
THEY'LL NEVER FORGET IT. [APPLAUSE] MIC]
